Luxor

Luxor is a game and series of tile-matching action puzzle video games, developed and published by MumboJumbo, with the initial release in 2005. The first sequel to this game was Luxor: Amun Rising, which was released in 2005 followed by Luxor 2, which was released in 2006 and included new gameplay, levels and bonuses. After that came Luxor 3, which featured seven gameplay modes and improved graphics. Other titles include Luxor: Quest for the Afterlife, Luxor 5th Passage and Luxor Evolved.

Gameplay

Luxor‘s gameplay is similar to Puzz Loop and Zuma. The user eliminates colored magical spheres by causing three or more spheres of the same color to collide. When spheres are eliminated, nearby spheres which now form a segment of three or more of the same color will also explode in a chain reaction.

During gameplay, the on-screen spheres continuously move forward, pushed themselves by additional small scarabs. If any sphere reaches the player’s pyramid, the player loses a life and is forced to 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.

Power-ups such as the fireball are given if the player manages to make three consecutive matches.

Complaint

After competitor Codeminion released their game StoneLoops! of Jurassica for iPhone, MumboJumbo filed a complaint with Apple requesting the game’s removal from the Apple App Store. According to MumboJumbo the game shares many similarities with the Luxor-series that could confuse customers. Apple accepted the complaint and the game was removed.
