Catch it with your scarab and you have yourself a power-up. These are activated by destroying a couple of groups of balls in rapid succession, which causes an item to fall from that area. The game complicates your experience, or simplifies, depending on your perspective, by adding power-ups. You complete a level when you reach a certain score in the level, at which point the balls stop coming and you progress in the gameplay. Once a match is created the balls will explode, shortening the chain and adding to your score. You can do this by matching up three balls of the same color, which is done by shooting from your scarab located at the bottom of the screen. Colored balls come out of one hole on a side of the screen – your job is to destroy these colored balls before they reach the “end”. Luxor 2 is best described as a fast paced puzzle game. Let’s get to it.Ĭonsidering there is no multiplayer in Luxor 2, this is where you will be spending all of your time.
I have to say my original opinion of the game has changed over time as I have slowly moved forward in the game modes trying to unlock the non-stackable achievements.
I was enticed mostly by Pac Man CE and Boom Boom Rocket, but in due time I did check out this game. Luxor 2 is a game I picked up on my arcade compilation disc ($5 used) at my local game store.
