Gameplay
The game challenges the user to eliminate colored magical spheres by causing three or more spheres of the same color to collide. Players do this primarily by shooting additional spheres from a winged scarab which they guide back and forth along the bottom of the screen. When spheres are eliminated, adjacent spheres which now form a segment of three or more or the same color will also explode in a chain reaction.

During gameplay, the on-screen spheres continuously move forward, pushed by additional small scarabs. If any sphere reaches the player's pyramid, he or she loses a life and is forced to restart the stage. If the player succeeds in eliminating a certain number of spheres without this occurring, new spheres cease to arrive and the level can be completed by removing those which remain.

There are a total of 88 rounds of increasing difficulty, plus 13 bonus rounds which the player can play through. In «Story mode», the player earns titles/rankings as he or she progresses through the various levels. Multiple difficulty settings are available as well, with play at higher settings yielding higher scores.
Levels and stages
The arrangement of the levels of Luxor 2 are similar to the arrangement of rounds in Zuma. There are four levels in the first stage, five in the second, and six in the third. The order of levels repeats after every third stage, however, one stage is added in this repetition. For example, levels 1-1 to 1-4 are repeated as levels 4-1 to 4-4, but level 4-5 is added. Levels 4-1 to 4-5 are repeated as levels 7-1 to 7-5, but level 7-6 is added. This is also true for the other levels, except that for the 13th stage, four additional levels are used before entering level 13-5, the last level. Luxor 2 Game free Download Full Version.
Scoring
In general, 100 points are awarded for each sphere destroyed. The simple destruction of three spheres thus earns 300 points, four spheres 400, etc. However, if you arrange things such that you destroy three spheres which bring together three more spheres, the second set of spheres has a 2X multiplier. With cleverness, you can arrange things such that you have several chain reactions in a row with linearly increasing multipliers at every stage of the chain reaction.
At the end of every round (and at times during the round) jewels, rings, and coins are freed. Every stage has coins, and coins have a value of 250 points at all stages of game play (One collects coins less for their value than because every 30 coins earns an extra life.) In contrast to the behavior of coins, jewel and ring values increase in a simple pattern as play progresses. Every stage has two types of jewel and one type of ring.
