Discover why over 75 million people worldwide have experienced the thrill of LUXOR. “The iPhone version of Luxor is a high quality production with beautiful graphics and a number of control options.” Jon Jordan, PocketGamer, Gold Award 9/10 "Simply put, this is the best marble-popper available on the App Store." People who already have a marble-popper may not find too much new here, but it's certainly worth a look for everyone else. It has integration with the Plus+ system and is fun to play while retaining all the challenge you'd come to expect of marbles winding their way across your screen. You honestly could not go wrong with LUXOR being the only arcade marble-popper in your app library.

Gameplay itself is fairly standard for the marble-popper genre, rewarding large chains of colored balls being rolled in to each other, though LUXOR distinguishes itself by having multiple short waves instead of one large chain.

One early level takes place at a lake, with the path and background artwork blended together to form an intricate scene to play on. The animation and artwork for the Egyptian theme are great and on some levels quite clever. Your shooter can be smoothly dragged around the bottom of the screen, with vertical drags to swap colored balls and tapping to fire, though at times the game can be sensitive and a swap or repositioning can be interpreted accidentally as firing. There are three major schemes for controlling the marble-shooter, but sadly the two optional methods seem to exist more as a side-note, with neither one being practical for use. They say that imitation is flattery, but when it comes to arcade marble-poppers LUXOR by MumboJumbo may not be an original concept, but this port to the iPhone is immediately fun and challenging so what more could you ask for?
