"LUXOR 2," the critically acclaimed sequel to the #1 casual game of 2005, has
been nominated for “Best Casual Game of 2006” and “Best Puzzle Game of 2006”
by the Casual Game Association, and with over 50 million downloads to date,
"LUXOR" has undoubtedly grown into one of the most successful brands in casual
game history. "7 Wonders of the Ancient World," the second MumboJumbo game to
release on Windows Vista, is the smash-hit puzzler of 2006 that proves
unparalleled gameplay and visual content are the key to being a leader in the
match-three genre.
“Having two of MumboJumbo’s top-selling games available for the
much-anticipated launch of Windows Vista is an amazing achievement for any game
publisher,” said Paul Jensen, president of MumboJumbo. “With superior-quality
graphics and smooth gameplay mechanics that take advantage of the new operating
system, we feel that 'LUXOR 2' and '7 Wonders of the Ancient World' will
deliver a sophisticated look and feel that takes premium casual games to an
all-new level.”
In "LUXOR 2," players embark on a beautiful voyage through 88 stylishly
detailed and explosive levels equipped with a mystical winged scarab to shoot
and destroy the approaching magical balls before they reach the pyramids at the
end of their path. Players can earn up to 15 exciting power-ups and play
through four distinct levels of difficulty. And with 13 potential bonus rounds
and the new 100-level player ranking system, the challenges in this beautifully
illustrated Egyptian landscape are virtually endless.
"7 Wonders of the Ancient World" delivers the utmost addictive qualities of a
classic match-three game. Players journey through ancient lands, matching three
same-colored magical runes to supply their workers with the building stones
needed to construct the ancient world’s 7 Wonders. Puzzle fans will be
especially pleased with the special bonuses and power-ups, while enhanced
graphics and audio deliver multi-sensory entertainment as players cleverly
