### 2/5 — Pas optimisé écran

*2024-02-11*

Le jeu, qui plus est payant, n’est pas optimisé pour l’écran de l’iPhone. La résolution est trop petite et le jeu n’est pas agréable.

### 2/5 — Game/firing mechanics are garbage

*2023-11-24*

Game originally meant for use of a mouse. The firing mechanics and controls are absolute garbage in the version. WASTE OF MONEY.

### 4/5 — Fun, Addictive, but impossible

*2023-07-08*

Once you get to expert level 10-6, it’s impossible. I’ve played it over 1000 times. I don’t think that’s very good level design…I oftentimes would play perfect games without a single mistake it still feels like dumb luck if I were to beat it. If the marbles get near the pyramid the level only gives you the colours near the end of the line to play, but you’re blocked from getting them there. Frustrating!

### 2/5 — Was Great , now , not so much

*2021-11-05*

Was great until it crashed , now nuthin , nada , zip

### 3/5 — What’s the deal?

*2021-09-01*

What’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?!

### 3/5 — Too fast

*2021-08-15*

I 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

### 3/5 — Me love it but can you make some other Luxor game

*2021-07-06*

I was SOO close to finishing the game then IT RESTARTED!!!

### 4/5 — Jeu génial mais optimisation a revoir

*2021-03-21*

Le jeu est super vu que j’y ai joué sur console avant d’y joué sur iphone mais une maj logicielle a propos de l’optimisation est a faire vu que a chaque fois que on lance une boule et que on veut de nouveau visée le jeu rame et devient de nouveau fluide.
Merci d’y remedier avec plaisir

### 2/5 — Retarded Controllers

*2021-03-15*

My 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.

### 4/5 — App will not open on my iPad

*2021-02-08*

Been playing for years love this game but suddenly it will not open for me to play!  Help.

### 4/5 — Fun game but

*2020-03-25*

When 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!😒

### 2/5 — Power-ups don’t work

*2019-07-06*

Overall, this game is amazing but they need to fix the power ups. When I get the color bomb power up, I shoot the ball and nothing happens. NOTHING. Please don't Waste a single penny on this dumb game.

### 3/5 — I gave it three stars

*2018-02-17*

I love this game but I gave it three stars because it wouldn’t update for weeks and l found it frustrating.

### 3/5 — Ok, but buggy.

*2017-08-06*

On 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).

### 3/5 — Game fun but getting message maker has to update

*2017-05-29, version 1.2.4*

To be compatible with new versions of iOS. All you update it?

### 2/5 — Fun but not worth the money

*2017-02-06, version 1.2.4*

I love this game it's addictive but there a some serious glitches that are getting really old. You can pass a level and then for no reason the next time you open the app it jumps back 3 levels. You can't go back and play level you liked and you can't skip ahead to levels you've already played. Really disappointing. Would love an update!

### 2/5 — Poorly designed

*2015-12-30*

The game as originally designed for a computer, and was great if played with a mouse. The iPad design was not tested thoroughly. It gets stuck on a level, the fireball changes to a plain one very frequently. When you fire a ball, it can jump a whole full row without hitting anything, and hits something you haven't aimed at. At times the ball changes color moments after it is released, without swiping to change the color, or is spontaneously fired even if you finger is not on it. I have a lot of patience, but no matter how much I try, it is of no use. Fix it, guys, otherwise it isn't worth the money

### 1/5 — Purchase Regret

*2026-05-29*

I purchased game & almost immediately I noticed it getting stuck in the middle if game . I had to go back & restart game.  Not only that but it is super slow the entire  duration of game.. If I’d of known that before making purchase I would of never bought the game.  I stopped playing it.  I tried it again today & sos.  Ppl shouldn’t sell games that are t working properly.  How about a refund?

### 1/5 — Problemas

*2025-11-14, version 1.3.1*

No me funciona ,cuando voy a jugar survival no abre,no puedo jugar y yo pagué por esta app

### 1/5 — No longer working

*2023-07-30*

The survival mode is no longer working. It won’t load.

### 1/5 — Luxor Hd

*2022-09-25*

Paid $5 to play this game and now it’s not working. Played 1 day.

### 1/5 — Requires improving

*2018-03-17*

Very difficult to get more lives

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2018-02-06*

I 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.

### 1/5 — Nicht spielbar

*2018-01-11*

Auf dem IPhone 5s nicht spielbar. Steuerung reagiert zu langsam und hängt. Die Grafik im Vergleich zur alten Version verwirrend. 
Hoffe ich bekomme mein Geld zurück. Schade

### 1/5 — Just did update. Game is not smooth.

*2017-07-25, version 1.3.0*

Just did the update. now the game is not smooth at all. Would like to roll back update.

### 1/5 — Worthless on iPad

*2015-08-12, version 1.2.4*

Horrible, horrible, horrible.  It has no sensitivity for the touch screen and thus is absolutely frustrating.

### 1/5 — Luxor had

*2015-05-19, version 1.2.4*

I love this games but it's not for I pads it freezer up and or goes back to levels you beat start over.   I won't make anymore mistakes wasting my money on the other games. Been burn twice with your game. I should check review before I got the game.  Very sorry I wasted my money for this game and other Luxor.

### 5/5 — Ein Spiel meiner Kindheit

*2022-06-21*

Ich möchte mich bei allen bedanken die an diesem Spiel mitgewirkt haben. Es war einer meiner aller ersten Videospiele und hat mir viel Spaß und Freude bereitet. Ich hatte damals nicht das Ende vom Spiel erreicht, was ich nun unbedingt nachholen möchte.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-12-29*

Really don’t know why other people are hating. I play on an iPhone 11, and I get no ads or popups whatsoever. The gameplay is perfect, no lag, and excellent graphics and background music. On top of that, the game is completely original and not ripping off anyone. Would recommend and don’t listen to other reviews.

### 5/5 — PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Update

*2021-01-02*

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.

### 5/5 — Luxor HD

*2020-02-26*

This has been my favourite game since I was a kid many years ago! I think this game is great n anyway you look at it! It also plays sideways which means when I connect my phone up too the tv the game completely covers the tv screen with games that plays up-right you got the strip of the phone going straight down the middle of the game which makes it pritty pointless even connecting it too your tv!! But with this game it completely covers the tv screen!! Before I brought this game for £4.99p which I think is a tad over priced but if you want a game with no ads then I guess you gotta pay the price!! It’s fair enough!! I saw a review saying they were having problems with ads on there phone!! I wouldn’t know anything about this cuz I didn’t download a free copy with ads then pay for them too be removed, we all know what this game is like as it’s been around for years!! So all I can say too avoid any problems about removing Ads, just don’t download the free copy then be given the choice too remove the Ads simply just download the £4.99p copy! And have done with it! We all know what the games like and what we’re buying! So just don’t download the copy with the Ads in! Just pay the £4.99p copy cuz at the end of the day your gonna pay for the Ads too be removed anyway!! Your just prolonging payment n it’s not worth it!! Well this is the best  Oldie yet!! Great Work Guys This Is definitely a
5 ⭐️ App, works well running from an “IOS” phone!!  Thankyou 👈😎👍

### 5/5 — As usual, thank you for this wonderful game.

*2017-10-24*

Thank 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.

### 5/5 — Игра супер!

*2012-11-21*

Игра офигенная! Игрушка для любителей классического Луксора. У меня нет слов:))))))))

### 5/5 — Speed changed

*2012-08-19*

What did you do?  Been playing for months and while it was a little slow, the new update moves so fast on screen that it actually blurrs.  Wow!  Still fun but now a different game.

Much better now, have no idea what happened or why it was speeding by, but I started a new game and everything seems to work and with good speed and graphics.  I've re-rated.

### 5/5 — Score Change

*2012-08-16*

What I am doing now I hope will remove the last review.  I have no idea what happened.  I just know the game had changed, the scoring was different.  I thought It might have been my phone, so I rebooted, but it was still the same.  So I deleted the game, and re-downloaded it again.  I thought there would be a message that I had already purchased this game, and that I would not be charged.  But I received no such message, and I am probably sure it charged me again. (No big deal..I have certainly gotten my money's worth out of this game.  I have played it many hours.  A movie ticket cost me more, and I only get approximately two hours of entertainment alone from that.).  The game was still playing at half the score, however.  Somehow the game had changed.

This morning I looked at my phone and noticed that I had a GREEN icon as well as a BLUE one. The green Icon was labeled  LUXOR AR HD.  I know I didnt click on it when I purchased the game because I had typed  LUXOR HD in the search box, and only the BLUE icon was showing on the apps screen when I re-downloaded it again. I may never know what happened.   But I dont care.  I tried the new green icon on my phone ( LUXOR AR HD).   WOW!  THE GRAPHICS ARE FANTASTIC!!!  I love them.  And the scoring was the same as the old game. There are also new screens to play.  LUXOR AR HD is great.

### 5/5 — Doesn't work on new iPad !!!

*2012-04-19, version 1.2.3*

I was playing the iPhone version on iPad and decided to get the iPad version but it won't do anything!!!

### 5/5 — Genial

*2012-02-28*

Das ist echt das beste Luxor Game! Es macht ein riesen spaß und man sitzt echt lange dran! Ich habe es zwar für 79 ct bekommen und 3,99 wäre zwar zu gewesen aber trotzdem klasse Game!!!!!!!!!
