Virtual Villagers 2: The Lost Children

The first game (Virtual Villagers: A New Home) was quite successful, winning both a huge number of fans, as well as game industry awards such as the “Zeeby” for Best Strategy/Sim of 2006, and the “Best Sim of 2006″ award from GameTunnel.

The follow-up game in the series is now available, and we expect big things from Virtual Villagers 2: The Lost Children, too!

The Virtual Villagers games simulate a small village and allow your to manage and guide the villagers as they live, work, mate and grow. Virtual Villagers is unique among real-time games, in that the little villagers will continue to live, prosper, or die, even if the game is off. The game can only be suspended if set on pause.

The series is set on the fictitious island of Isola, where a lost tribe has landed on its shores. The second chapter continues where the first chapter left off, taking the player on a new journey to the western shores of the island, where you encounter a tribe of lost children and must care for and nurture your new tribe of little people and help them to survive. Your villagers will need to become farmers, builders, scientists, healers and parents. Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children includes all-new puzzles, collectible items, and new challenges to overcome as the player cares for this fledgling tribe and helps them to discover even more secrets of the mysterious island.

  • Real-Time: new surprises every time you turn the game on!
  • All new puzzles to solve.
  • Dozens of unique collectibles for children to retrieve.
  • Raise children who resemble their parents.
  • Watch your villagers thrive, and then grow old, slow and grey.
  • Care for your weak and sick in a tropical hospital.
  • Villagers can make a variety of unique stews from hidden herbs, many with strange and unpredictable effects.
  • Award your wisest villagers with persistent totems to customize your village.

Luxor Fans Rejoice!

Posted March 1, 2007 @ 11:34 am - Filed under: New Releases

Luxor 2With over 500,000 units sold since its launch in 2005, the Luxor franchise is one of the most successful brands ever in casual gaming. And now, MumboJumbo is pleased to announce the launch of Luxor 2, the much-anticipated sequel to the #1 casual game of 2005.

Designed in MumboJumbo’s Dallas studios by the same award-winning team that created the original hit, Luxor 2 sets a new benchmark graphically for casual games with 3D-like visuals, realistic reflections and shadowing, and stunning visual details throughout the game.

Paul Jensen, President of MumboJumbo says, “Luxor 2 offers the same addictive and easy-to-learn, yet difficult-to-master game play which made the award-winning Luxor franchise such a smash hit, but now takes the game to a completely new level, setting a new standard for action-puzzle casual games.”

In Luxor 2, players embark on a beautiful voyage through the land of ancient Egypt. The adventure takes place across 88 all-new, gorgeously rendered levels of brilliantly displayed crisp and stunning graphics set amongst the pyramids and temples of ancient Egypt. Wield the mystical winged scarab to shoot and destroy the approaching magical spheres before they reach the pyramids at the end of their path. And to help shoot down those enemy spheres, Luxor 2 features more explosive power-ups than ever before!

New features include:

  • New ranking system lets players work their way from Farm Hand to Pharaoh
  • New bonus rounds for added fun and excitement at the end of every stage
  • 15 thrilling power-ups including the new Color Cloud, Pharaoh’s Dagger and Lightning Storm
  • Four distinct levels of difficulty offer an invigorating challenge for all types of players

MumboJumbo Disclaimer: MumboJumbo takes no responsibility for the many hours of lost productivity that have come to be associated with the Luxor gaming franchise including: missed meetings, ignored emails, projects turned in late, unreachable friends, and the eerie quiet that may invade your workplace because everyone is glued to their computers. It’s just a game… albeit a really addictive, you-can’t-stop-playing type of game…Can over 40 million downloaders really be wrong?
