Luxor

This is one marble popping, time killing, extremely addicting game that is definitely here to stay. The game play is simple, you have a scarab beetle pushing a row of marbles and you have to hit them all before the marbles reach to the pyramid, but this is not all, when you get rid of that scarab another one appears, so you have to repeat the whole action once again. The levels start simple, but become more complicated as go further. At the beginning each level contains four different marble colors, but as you advance you discover new marble colors, which makes the games a little more complicated. Another complication arises when two strands of marbles make an advance towards the pyramid at the same time, and the trickiest part of the game is when new strands appear at the bottom of the screen, obscuring older strands until you can clear away the new ones. Luxor makes a good use of the ipod touch’s interface. You can slide the marble shooter by touching the screen with your finger and sliding it left and right. To shoot the marble, simply just tap on the shooter. A hint view—placed inconveniently in the top-right corner of the screen—lets you see what color is coming next, and a quick finger swipe downward lets you swap the two colors. Luxor’s graphics are very colorful filled with ancient Egyptian themes, even the background music is Egyptian but it also respects the music you’re playing via the iPod app and overlays it with the in-game sound effects. All in all this is a fun game that you simply must have.
