The ancient Egyptians were well known for walking strangely, building large geometric buildings, and pulling the brains of their dead out through their noses with large hooks prior to mummification.
Somehow, though, my history teacher neglected to tell me about their passion for marble-based match-three gameplay.
Still, ten of millions of web games after its first appearance Luxor finally comes to iPhone and iPod touch to show us that the touchscreen can be mightier than the mouse.
Simply put, this is the best marble-popper available on the App Store.
To some extent, that's because it's everything you'd hope Luxor on iPhone should be. The graphics are colourful, the audio's the same as the web game, and the control's pin sharp.
You move your winged marble holder - or shooter - by sliding your finger left and right anywhere on the screen, tapping to fire, and sliding your finger down to swap ball colour. Tilt and an alternative touch control scheme are provided, too.
Fun, addictive game !
