Amun Rising is essentially a continuation of the first Luxor game. Same methodology but different patterns/paths, more stages and more levels in three skill categories (beginner, intermediate and advanced). One nice addition is a scorpion power egg that wipes out all the balls up to the end of the chain. Some of the new patterns are devious and the final level in the final stage is dizzying. If you want to start a new game at the beginning instead of starting at the same stage where you finished, type in "-unlocklevels -unlockstages" (minus the quote marks) at the end of the .exe file.
A ZUMA-CLONE WITH AN INTERESTING PHARAOHNIC THEME

After ZUMA's success, a number of clones appeared - but the LUXOR series is the one that actually improved on some aspects of the concept.
A series of colored balls (with the number of different colors increasing every few levels) gets pushed and you have to match them in sets of three or more in order to remove them - and prevent them from reaching the end zone. Instead of having the "shooter" in the center, it is located at the bottom and it slides left and right. This makes for some quite difficult shots (especially when obstructed by the advancing row of balls) and raises the difficulty of the game.
On the other hand, the power-ups are more powerful, at the end of every round a number of coins and gems drop and "catching" them add lives to your paddle. It seems pretty straight-forward yet it can become highly...addictive!
Compared to the first installment of the series, LUXOR-AMUN RISING seems somewhat easier; yet, it will fulfill the funs craving for more pharaohnic fun!
This is an example of what has come to be known as Casual Gaming: small, resource-light games that are fun for the whole family.
It would be a good idea to download the 60-min trial version from a casual games site, such as REFLEXIVE (you can Google it), and decide for yourself whether this is indeed your cup of tea.
RECOMMENDED!

This is really a simple arcade game, but the visual sound effects and the increasing complexity will hold my interest and keep me from Reno! I am sure I could read the directions and cut through to some quicker advancres, but hey- I wanna play and make my own strategies (and there are strategies!)
Fun game for the whole family

We bought this game because my 4 year old son liked it so much when he played it at grandma's house. It is one of grandma and grandpa's favorite games and now my husband and I are also addicted to it! The beginning levels are easy enough for young kids but then it gets more challenging, which adults will love. This is an easy game to understand but you don't get bored. This game is very fun and very addicting! We love it at our house.
Great challenge & fun!

This gaming style may be a little dated but it is still fun. Quite challenging in the expert levels.
