It's time to use the HEALING TOUCH
Yeah, maybe buy the game to experiment, you don't need to buy to watch the speedrun... I'll see if once I start cranking out levels to produce AVI's here.
After 3 days I finally completed the Brainstorm route. here's the final levels up until Iron Mountains, at which point getting Lums does not matter:

Tomb of the Ancients
Skip one Lum somewhere- skip something besides secret Lum, because it doesn't count to Lum #, causing bonus game if all other Lums collected.
1st cage: 1-4 get
5-10 get
11-13 get
5th cage: 14-23 get
24 get
6th cage: 25-34 get
35-40 get
7th cage: 41-50 get
This has all been brainstorm, there are plenty of '?'s everywhere, and of course I cannot actually physically see any of the Lum locations, I have to make educated guesses based on how far off the path it seems to collect. I'm thinking maybe all cages with 2 Lums or less to simply skip, because the 3-5 Lums that can come in some cages makes up for the time eneded to get them. Tomb of the ancients is actually very generous- it has 2 cages that have 10 Lums EACH inside them.
If anyone wants to advance very far into the game and toy around with Lum locations that'd be great, I've now got all Lums listed here in the thread, some that I know to skip, some I know to get, and maybe unknown Lums. I haven't done any calculations to see how close to the 190 skip mark I am, but tomorrow will be Friday and then by the end of the weekend I should have a complete route all planned out, but I make no promises.
Death comes very easy in this game, however, it is a very fast recovery. It's 3-4 seconds to start from the beginning of a room after dying, and you keep going until you run out of life, so you get on average 7 times to die when at half life, which comes after getting a game over.
