Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Luxor HD is a high-definition remaster of the classic marble-shooter that defined the genre alongside games like Zuma. The transition to HD is stunning; the Egyptian-themed backdrops are vibrant and the marble effects are crisp. The touch controls feel incredibly natural here—swiping your shooter at the bottom of the screen to aim and tap to fire feels much more responsive than a mouse.
The game strikes a perfect balance between relaxation and intensity. The early levels are a soothing exercise in color matching, but the later stages require genuine speed and strategy as you manage multiple chains of marbles nearing the pyramid. With its power-ups and varied level designs, Luxor HD remains a gold standard for casual puzzle gaming.

Tips & Walkthrough
Always try to create chains that result in 'gaps.' When you destroy a segment of marbles, the back half will roll backward to rejoin the front if the colors match, giving you a 'Combos' bonus and more time.
Gameplays
Catch falling coins to unlock power-ups. The 'Wild' sphere is particularly useful as it matches any color, while the 'Slow' power-up gives you breathing room when things get chaotic.

What’s the deal?
Wed Sep 01 2021 Tbelle12What’s with this? I sent it - I thought - days ago but it’s still sitting here?! —-I loved this game on my computer and was excited to find it for my iPad. Ive been playing along fine and all of a sudden this morning it won’t open! Well , it opens, but after I clicks all the buttons to get to my place, it shuts down! I’ve closed and reopened it several times w/ the same experience. I tried to contact MumboJumbo, but get a screen wanting my ID/password and wants me say I’m an “agent”. So I’m complaining to them here! Do you read this stuff MumboJumbo?! - - Ok, Update. I’ve figured out it’s level 8-4 that’s the problem. I did a sample play that was fine. Then I started a new game w/ a new name and it’s fine. I really don’t want to delete and reinstall - which always seems to be the solution- and have to start all over again! What’s up w/ 8-4?! New text - it still doesn’t work! I’ve started a 2nd game w/ a new name. Will I have the same problem when I get it 8-4 in this game?!
Ok, but buggy.
Sun Aug 06 2017 sjtodOn my iPhone 7, with controls set for: -- EXACT shooter position with finger, -- fire when RELEASED, and -- swap sphere with MULTI-TOUCH, sphere swap does not work. It's like the game thinks "swap sphere with SWIPE" option is set, but you can't realistically do that with these control settings. This bug seems to have been introduced with the 64-bit release and has not been fixed with the subsequent update(s).
Too fast
Sun Aug 15 2021 OapparubaI love the game but since I upgraded my Ipad from a ipad 2 to a ipad pro the game is faster to a speed is no more fun. Hope they pacht up this problem. I have kept my old Ipad just to play this and Return of amun ra
Fun game but
Wed Mar 25 2020 T-907When playing the game and trying to get through all the levels at least give us the colored balls we need in order to finish the level. I think it’s unfair when your almost at the end you never get the color you need to win. Getting frustrated!😒
Retarded Controllers
Sun Mar 14 2021 ZenKahMy favorite game on PSP. But playing it on the iPad is both frustrating and upsetting. You have to slide the shooter all across the whole iPad, and you've to release your siding finger and tap to shoot, then slide to move again. And the touch screen is not that responsive and you end up with a whole bunch of misfired shots. The whole gaming experience is not nice at all.
As usual, thank you for this wonderful game.
Tue Oct 24 2017 McLarenP1BoyThank you very much for updating this game for higher-end iOS devices and fixing the scoring bug. The door sounds do need to be made louder, though.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Update
Fri Jan 01 2021 'Austin'Nothing compares the original LUXOR, LUXOR 2 , LUXOR HD and the LUXOR AR. I have no problem purchasing a ported version that works like the originals so we all can continue to enjoy them. Please consider porting/updating these the the latest hardware. Thank you.
Don’t waste your money
Tue Feb 06 2018 gracer1023I have an iPhone 7 Plus. Even still it’s hard to tell the difference between colors. The multi tap doesn’t work 80% of the time. It’s very difficult to advance when you can’t tell what color the balls are and when u can u can’t get rid of the color you’re shooting. Spend your money on another game that you will find more enjoyable.
