Description
Similar to its predecessor Luxor, Luxor: Amun Rising is set across the lands of ancient Egypt where players must defeat the Princes of Megiddo before they overthrow the Pharaoh. The primary game play remains intact. Players must eliminate colored "magical spheres" by shooting additional spheres from a winged scarab that moves horizontally along the bottom of the screen. When three or more spheres of the same color collide, the spheres are eliminated. If adjacent spheres now form a segment with three or more of the same color, they also explode in a chain reaction.
During game play, the chain of spheres continuously advance forward along a path, pushed by small scarabs. If any sphere reaches the player's pyramid, he or she loses a life and must restart the level. If the player succeeds in eliminating a certain number of spheres without this occurring, new spheres cease to arrive and the level can be completed by removing those which remain.
There are 88 new levels in Luxor: Amun Rising and three levels of difficulty -- beginner, intermediate, and expert. In each level, players may earn power-ups that aid game play. Extra lives are earned by collecting golden coins.
Background & History
Luxor: Amun Rising was first released in 2006 as a free online and premium downloadable for PCs. It is the second title in the Luxor series of casual games.
Tips & Tricks
- Don't stay idle, always work on removing spheres from the chains.
- Try to make bigger combos wherever possible.
- A right click on the mouse allows you to switch colored spheres.
- Watch for power-ups and be sure to catch them with your scarab. Power-ups will help you beat the harder levels. Use them where they'll remove the most spheres.
