Face off with the approaching spheres in four different game modes: Practice, Adventure, Survival, and Challenge of Horus. Clear out the entire chain, and you’ll work your way up to the next level.Ĭustomize your shooter to play LUXOR just how you like it with two different types of aim assist and three control system choices to mix-and-match. Wielding your mystical winged-shooter, you must fire colored orbs into the chain to make matches of three or more, and eliminate the spheres from the chain. Chains of colored spheres are working their way through ancient Egypt, and it’s up to you to stop them before they reach the pyramids. You took out everything that made play interesting in the previous versions and left us with a boring piece of software.The #1 marble shooter game, now for the iPad and iPhone/iPod TouchĮxperience LUXOR designed specifically for the iPad, and now available as a universal App with HD graphics on retina display devices! Answer the call of the goddess, Isis, in this addictive marble-shooter game. Sorry developers, but you really missed the ball on this one. In this version, players don't "die" when they fail to beat a track. In previous versions of Luxor, 50 coins translated into an extra life, which was good, because that final track could take a lot of lives before the player beat it. So as you play, you keep collecting worthless coins with no way to spend them. The tracks are easy to beat, especially after upgrading the powerups in the "Store." Worse still, after all the upgrades have been purchased, the coin collection remains when the player completes a level (Easy, Normal, Hard, Insane), and so do the upgrades. To put it in persepective, the so-called "insane" level of Luxor: Quest for the Afterlife (LQA) is about as stressful as the early to mid-stages of the Normal level in Luxor 2. Instead, the final run is boring and simple. I expected that the end adventure would be similar to the previous iterations of Luxor: difficult to the point of ripping my hair out as I tried to beat it. The price is appropriate, because this game really doesn't live up to its predecessors. So if you are a fan of Luxor, I would get this one. Good game though as I have the previous Luxor game. I was hoping to see more than 1 mode other than the main game and a free play round. I gave it 3 stars because I thought it was a little pricey given the limited content. I am still on the first game (as I have not died yet). There are setting in the game to use the display as "WINDOWED" and I adjusted the resolution to 1600x1000. It is true that the beginning of the game does take up the full screen using the main screen, but you can adjust that after you complete the intro scene and provide your name (as did the previous Luxor). I have a Mac Pro with 3 monitors attached 20" Apple Cinema, 24" Apple LED Cinema, and the 30" Apple Cinema HD displays. I have played the game for almost 12 hours and I am not seeing of his problems. I can say that I don't have the problemt hat Joe Hair has experienced.
