Glory and Adventure await as you return to save Ancient Egypt from certain doom in Luxor: Amun Rising, the sequel to the runaway hit action-puzzle game. This time, you must defeat the rebellious Princes of Megiddo before they overthrow the Pharaoh and plunge the Two Lands into chaos! Once again, the challenge will not be an easy one as you battle through 88 awesome, all-new levels. You must use your mystical winged scarab to shoot magical spheres, making matches of three or more to destroy the approaching colored spheres. Stop them all before they can reach the Pyramids at the ends of the path... or all of Egypt is doomed!

The powers of Isis are again at your command, including explosive Sun Hieroglyph fireballs, thundering Lightning Bolts, and Scarab Color Bombs. To help you confront this grave rising threat, Isis has also bestowed upon you the new Scorpion power-up, which calls forth a magical scorpion from the Pyramids to destroy up to the first ten spheres it encounters. Eliminating an entire chain of spheres will destroy the scarab minion that pushes them and release the sparkling Bonus Gem hidden within. You can even earn an extra life by collecting 30 golden Ankh coins.
