Luxor Evolved Download PC

Luxor Evolved is a match-3 puzzle game developed in 2012 by MumboJumbo.

Gameplay

The objective of Luxor Evolved is similar to that of other marble-popping matching games such as PopCap Games' Zuma. Typical of the Luxor series, each stage includes a series of scarabs pushing a line of marbles along a path toward an open pyramid. The player is tasked with rescuing the marbles, using a marble-launching "winged scarab" that moves across the bottom of the screen, by matching a chain of three or more of the same color, or by using various powerups, which are dispensed randomly when the marbles are rescued. If any marble completely enters the holes, the player loses a life.

Luxor Evolved introduces gameplay and style which is a notable departure from the series' norm. The gameplay is faster paced than in previous installments. Rather than resetting the stage if the player loses a life, the chains of marbles are reversed, leaving some remaining; losing a life on a survival stage ends the stage immediately. Powerups are unlocked and upgraded by earning enough score or in some cases, beating a boss. Among the powerups are "super powerups" which the player unlocks after beating the first, third, and sixth bosses. Upon unlocking a super powerup, emblems periodically appear and fill up a meter corresponding to that powerup, activating it automatically when the meter is topped off. However, the super powerup can be activated by shooting 6 shards by opening a gap out of spheres.

The graphics of Evolved are reminiscent of the vector graphics commonly used in video games of the late 70s and early 80s.
