Luxor 3 - Upgrades/The Store

Upgrades/The Store

Power-ups can be upgraded to higher levels (such as in length of time or in size of impact) by purchasing such upgrades in the store of the game. The unit of currency is Ankh coins, which are earned by collecting these coins as they fall in the middle of the game from large sphere explosions, breaking gold scarabs. (three on easy, four on medium, five on hard, and six on insane), and one for each 15% of the Luxor track open from the pyramid to the end of the sphere line at the end of the level (Small jewels will also fall for parts of the incomplete 15% after the last Ankh coin is released). The types of spheres can also be upgraded in the store, as well as the type of shooter used in the game (these will only be unlocked for purchase at 2.5 million point increments during the course of the main game). The glass sphere set is unlocked for purchase at 2.5 million points, the sci-fi sphere shooter is unlocked for purchase at 5 million points, the wooden sphere set is unlocked for purchase at 7.5 million points, the sphere set is unlocked for purchase at 10 million points, and the Xtreme sphere shooter is unlocked for purchase at 15 million points (these purchases cost one one-hundred-thousandth of the number of points needed to unlock them in Ankh coins; for example, once the glass sphere set is unlocked, it can be purchased for 25 Ankh coins, and so on). These upgrades not related to power-ups do little more than enhance the visual and audio quality of the game to the preference of the person playing the game, with the exception of the Xtreme shooter, which has a wider area for catching falling objects (this will not make a difference when the net power-up is in effect).
