Plus+, a publisher of iPhone and iPod touch games, and MumboJumbo, a
developer and publisher of casual games, are bringing the Mac and PC
game, Luxor (http://www.luxoriphone.com/), to the iPhone and iPod
touch. The marble-shooter game will make its debut on the Apple Store
this August with community gameplay features enabled by Plus+, the
free social play network.
Here’s how the game is described: “In Luxor, the god’s evil minions
have unleashed chains of colored spheres to destroy the pyramids of
Ancient Egypt. Players must clear these chains by color-matching
three or more spheres. Native controls allow players to slide, tap,
shake and tilt to manipulate the magical winged, side-scrolling
shooter and launch power-ups. The fate of Ancient Egypt is literally
in the player’s hands.
“Plus+ registrants in LUXOR can experience not only the touch
innovation of a genre classic, but also the added depth of social
play. Players can send challenges to friends via Facebook and
Twitter, blaze to the top of global leaderboards and earn points on
Plus+. These social play elements add to the hours of gameplay packed
across 88 levels of chain-blasting strategy.”
