Luxor: 5th Passage

The Luxor series from MumboJumbo offers a fifth title in the space of five years. Although the concept remains pleasant, this new grind brings little to the franchise. The game Puzzle Bobble, better known as bust-a-move, made its appearance in 1994. It suggested that players throw bubbles at a static bubble cluster, choosing their starting angle, to create groups of three identical color bubbles. Puzz loop, released four years later, boosted this type of puzzle game by placing the bubbles on a moving spiral and the player in the center of the screen. This concept largely inspired PopCap Games, which released Zuma in 2003, a similar game but based on an Aztec theme. It was only two years later that the Luxor franchise made its appearance. Since then, no fewer than five titles have succeeded, at the rate of one per year, each bringing are lots of improvements. Like its predecessors, Luxor: 5th passage offers you to throw marbles from a cannon located at the bottom of the screen. The latter moves laterally and makes fire only in a straight line. Your goal is to prevent coils composed of multiple marbles from reaching your pyramid, creating groups of three identical colored marbles. The coils borrow different paths, depending on the stage funds of each level. This edition offers 25 unpublished, as well as a fortnight from the previous titles of the series. If you make combos, you will get bonus items, which will help you in your quest, as long as you catch them when they fall down the screen, just like the treasures emitted in certain situations. This Edition adds four new bonus items, like the black hole, which is afraid to suck the marbles. Alas, it is no longer possible to improve the power of these bonus items, as was the case in previous editions. Although the game offers an adventure mode with 100 levels, the stage funds return regularly, without making any changes. A quick game mode also allows you to test your skills in two minutes. Four levels of difficulty are offered. The higher it is, the faster the balls move and make use of different colors. If you do not know this franchise, you should be interested in this title. If you are a regular, you may be disappointed. Positives: + well-exploited Egyptian theme + bonus items entertaining negative points:-brings few novelties-often reused levels
