Background and Worldview: In the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu, the scarab gems are cursed and scattered throughout the various chambers of the pyramid. Players take on the role of an archaeological assistant, matching gems of the same color to break the curse. Each level cleared unlocks a secret chamber door, ultimately leading to the Pharaoh’s golden coffin.
Core Gameplay: Hourglass match-3. Each level has a timed hourglass; players must complete the elimination objectives before it runs out. The hourglass can be extended with special eliminations. A “sandstorm” effect randomly scrambles the gem positions.
Special Features: Ancient Egyptian deities assist cards; collecting gems summons Anubis or Bastet for a screen-clearing attack.
Visuals and Sound Effects: A yellow sand and gold color scheme, with hieroglyphs and murals. Mysterious and exotic soundtrack, featuring sitars and hand drums.
Number of Levels: 1080
