Luxor 3 is the latest incarnation in the best-selling Luxor series of casual games from developer MumboJumbo.

Following in the wake of Luxor, Luxor 2, and Luxor: Amun Rising, Luxor 3 takes you on an ethereal journey as you battle the power-hungry god of Chaos to free the essences of other Egyptian gods before they reach the pyramid at the end of their path.

Like the earlier games, the basic object of the game is to shoot your ball into a moving chain of balls to create three-in-a-row of the same color, at which point they’ll be removed from the board. Along with this familiar gameplay, Luxor 3 adds a number of new game modes, as well a some very devious bonus puzzle levels.

In Luxor 3, you’ll need to utilize reflectors to make nearly impossible matches, make three matches in a row and release supernatural power-ups, and collect Ankh coins to use for purchasing important upgrades. Plus collect canopic jars to unlock bonus levels and hit elusive Golden Scarabs to discover hidden treasures!

In addition to the new game modes and additional power-ups, the biggest change to the game is the remarkably detailed graphics, with parts of the game backgrounds being animated and seemingly alive with movement. Another new feature is the “store”, where you can use the coins you collect during the game to purchase increasingly-powerful power-ups.

Key features of the new game include:

• Original music, enhanced animation and even more spectacular effects
• Seven challenging gameplay modes including five never before seen
• Over 140 nail-biting levels with new features including branching paths and reflectors
• Upgradable power-ups plus exciting ball sets and shooters to unlock
• Utilize reflectors to make matches that were otherwise impossible

The Richochet series of breakout-style arcade games from Reflexive Entertainment have become classics of the genre, featuring graphics and game play that quickly made the series a favorite in offices and homes across the world. The games in this series have included Ricochet Xtreme, Ricochet Lost Worlds, and Ricochet Lost Worlds: Recharged.

Now there a new edition in this popular series, Ricochet Infinity, which re-invents the genre and will forever change the way you think about brick-busting games.

Ricochet Infinity introduces a new way to play the game by putting the player in direct control of the ball. Instead of waiting for the ball to return to the paddle, with ‘Recall’ players can at any time, change the ball’s direction, giving full control during every second of the game, and not just when the ball hits the paddle.

“Once you play Ricochet with the new Recall ability, there is no going back,” said Ion Hardie, Lead Level Designer on Ricochet Infinity. “It enhances the game play so much you’ll wonder how you played a brick-busting game without it.”

Like previous Ricochet games, Ricochet Infinity has been created with community in mind, enabling gamers to create and share levels with other players all over the world. Unlike previous Ricochet games, players can now download, rate and tag new levels without ever leaving the game. Unique to Ricochet Infinity, this new ability to directly download levels from within the game makes it easier than ever before for players to trade levels. Players will be able to watch and see the levels they create climb through the ranks of the most downloaded levels, and perhaps become the next online sensation.

“Ricochet Infinity has an endless supply of new levels being created by a very diverse group of imaginative level designers from around the world,” said James C. Smith, lead developer and creator of Ricochet. “The flexibility of the Infinity scripting engine enables very unique types of levels to be created. With hundreds of new level being released each month, Ricochet Infinity’s ability to sort, rate and tag levels becomes an invaluable tool to find the levels you want to play.”

Reflexive Entertainment hasn’t contented itself with creating what is essentially the world’s first Web 2.0 game and making it more fun and playable than any other game in its class by adding direct ball control. Ricochet Infinity also features a whole new array of devastating power-ups to go along with all the old favorites, new stunning graphics that await you as you travel to unknown alien worlds, a techno-pumped soundtrack, over 200 included levels from the world’s best level designers, the addition of new vector art and scripting tools to what was already the world’s best level editor, trophies, achievements, ball skins, player character development, 24 different ships each with special abilities, Mouse Party™ for same machine competitive and cooperative multiplayer play, and Ricochet’s new mascot, an alien companion to keep you company.
