Luxor is basically Zuma, but in ancient Egypt instead of Mayincatec.It's good though.The gameplay borrows heavily from Zuma: a train of multi-colored balls enters the screen and rolls down a long winding track towards a pyramid at the end. If the train reaches the pyramid, you lose a life. To keep the train from reaching your pyramid, you must fire multi-colored balls of your own at the train. Your shots add to the length of the train, but any sets of 3 or more balls of the same color you make are cleared, creating gaps in the train and slowing its overall advance.Furthermore, if a disconnected segment could make a set of two or more same-colored balls by connecting with the train behind it, it will roll backwards and connect with the train. You can make scoring chains by setting up balls such that the gap you make from clearing a set will cause a segment to roll back and make another set, which in turn will cause more rollback.Luxor differs from Zuma in the following ways: First, instead of a rotating turret situated in the center of the board, you have a paddle at the bottom of the screen which can only move horizontally and fire straight up. Second, while the balls in Zuma arrive in one long, uninterrupted train, in "Luxor" they are delivered in multiple smaller loads pushed by mooks of whichever antagonist you happen to be fighting. A mook that has had its entire load destroyed will die and give an extra bonus. If loads are allowed to catch up to one another, they fuse, crushing a mook in the process and robbing you of a bonus.Games in the series include: Luxor (2005, PC, Mac, BREW, J2ME and iOS): The original game. Luxor HD (2015, PC, Android, iOS and 3DS) Luxor: Amun Rising (2005, PC and iOS): Essentially an expansion pack to the first game. Luxor: The Wrath of Set (2006, PSP): A PSP port which also features levels from The original. Luxor: Amun Rising HD (2012, PC, iOS and Android) Luxor 2 (2006, PC, Mac and XBLA): The first proper sequel, but still essentially the same game. Luxor: Pharaoh's Challenge (2007, PS2, PSP, NDS and WII): A Console port with a few extra features. Luxor 2 HD (2013, PC and iOS) Luxor: Reverse to Egypt (2007, PC, Mac and WII): More commonly known as Luxor 3. Introduces an upgrade system for power ups, several new gameplay modes and a 'puzzle' campaign that involves you defeating stationary trains with as few moves as possible. Luxor: Quest for the Afterlife (2008, PC and 3DS): Often refereed to as Luxor 4. Has a much more open world approach to levels in that you can select which one to play through branching paths and even go back to previous ones. Luxor 5th Passage (2010, PC and Mac): Made to celebrate the series 5th anniversary and serves as a 'best of' package by featuring mostly levels from previous games and a back to basics approach to gameplay (no branching paths, alternate game modes or upgrades). Luxor Evolved (2012, PC and iOS): Ditches the Egyptian theme in favor of a more 80s vector arcade one and features much faster game play than the other games.There has also been a few spinoffs such as the Hidden Object Game Luxor: Adventures and "Luxor" themed mahjong and solitaire games. | |

Pinball Scoring: Because of scoring multipliers, treasures can reach to upwards of 100k+ each, levels scoring in the millions, and high scores in the mid-high 10 millions (possibly 100 million+) in a short amount of time. Scoring is astronomical, if done well, when compared to the previous games. | |

Excuse Plot: The god of evil, Set, is wreaking havoc throughout Egypt. Put a stop to his nefarious plans by removing spheres off from his scarab minions! Although Amun Rising tries to shake things up by putting you in a war with the princes of Megiddo, but still. 3 has you being the spirit of a just-deceased pharaoh liberating the Egyptian pantheon from Set. Averted for Quest for the Afterlife, with the spirit of Nefertiti explaining on how the treasures you piece back work and information on the thieves you defeat, complete with monologues and gloating from Thutmose, the leader of the followers of Amun/Set that raided Nefertiti's tomb. With voice acting, as well! | |

Non-Indicative Difficulty | |
| Luxor (Video Game) / int_fc2f4def | comment |
Non-Indicative Difficulty: In 3 and Quest for the Afterlife, what powerup that drops is determined by the color of the third 3-match (e.g. Blue gives Lightning Bolt or Slow, Yellow gives Wild Ball and Stop). Teal, the 8th color introduced throughout the game and thus late in the game, always drop Color Sort, which arranges all spheres on the screen into formations that are removed in one 3-match. A savvy player can therefore cheese through Insane by purposely holding onto a teal sphere, then make a 3rd teal 3-match using that sphere to drop Color Sort, and purposely break chains to make the teal 3-match to drop another Color Sort to rearrange the next load of spheres, and so on. Said tactic is probably the reason why Color Sort is changed to arrange only one load of spheres from 5th Passage onwards, as well as dropping the aforementioned powerup system in the favour of the original system in the first and second games. Apparently, the AI for the boss battle missions in Quest for the Afterlife doesn't know how to react to many sphere colors thrown at it (which is much more noticeable on Insane), making the such battles embarrassingly easy on Insane, including the Final Boss. | |
