Luxor 3 - Gameplay

Gameplay

The game remains similar to that in previous editions of Luxor: the main goal of the gameplay is to remove spheres of many different colors (ranging from four to nine different colors) from a track of spheres before they enter the pyramid at the end of a track. The lines of colored spheres are held by a bug at the back end, and a set number of these sets must be cleared.

Luxor 3 has canopic jars show up in the middle of the game: they will show up multiple times in each level until collected by being shot at by a sphere. Collecting all of these in the first four classic mode levels of each stage will unlock a bonus level at the end of the stage. After a jar is collected in a level or if all four jars are collected for a stage, then the remainder of the level or stage, respectively, will have golden scarabs show up to be exploded as with the jars. The golden scarabs drop from 3-6 ankh coins depending on the game's difficuly level (Easy, Medium, Hard, Insane.).

At the bottom of the screen is a bar displaying the current statistics and active power-ups for the level.
