LUXOR Overview
What is LUXOR? LUXOR Fifth Passage is an action-puzzle game that celebrates the 5th anniversary of the LUXOR game series. The game features 100 levels in Adventure mode, a new Blast mode, and a Players' Choice mode with 15 fan-favorite levels from previous LUXOR games. Players must use their winged-scarab shooter to match colored balls and eliminate advancing chains of colored spheres before they destroy the pyramids. The game introduces four new power-ups, 20 achievements to earn, and an Insane difficulty level. The Eye of Horus power-up can be used to eliminate remaining spheres, and players can collect Ankh coins for extra lives and catch falling treasures for bonus points. The game is developed by MumboJumbo and is available on the App Store.
1. Navigate your shooter to ensure matches of three or more—fire colored balls into the advancing chain of colored spheres to eliminate them before they destroy the pyramids.
2. Save ancient Egypt in the 100-level Adventure mode, or test your accuracy in all-new Blast mode—the 2-minute timed mode that challenges you to rack up the points.
3. Outfitted with 25 all-new backgrounds and pathways, LUXOR Fifth Passage also introduces the Eye of Horus—click the button when you’re in a real jam to eliminate all remaining spheres.
4. Master four new power-ups: the powerful Double Shooter, the devastating Black Hole, the ruinous Spiker Ball, and the deathly Lead Barrage.
5. Unlock all 20 achievements as you collect Ankh coins for extra lives and catch falling treasures for big bonus points.

I bought it anyway
After reading all the reviews I wasn't sure if I wanted this game, but the price was right. I haven't experienced any problems with the game and I am sorry for those who have. The first Luxor game I got was Quest for the Afterlife and I have played it a lot, so when I saw the others on sale I got Luxor HD and 5th passage. 5th passage does resemble HD a little but I like the the unexepected shooters and the challenge games. So far I have been on the easy level, but I tried the others just to see if they worked without crashing or something. No problems that I found. I especially like the noises each games make it adds to the fun.
Poor Performance
The few new features are nice, but the execution of the game is deplorable. The graphics should be higher resolution—in this day and age, most Macs have quite powerful GPU's; there's no reason not to have higher quality graphics. The graphics don't display properly on certain machines. For instance, I have a late-2008 Windows at home, and the text shadows are incorrect; e.g., the number of coins collected shows with "9999" as its shadow. Finally overall performance is deplorable. The shooter jitters or completely freezes up. I tried the previous version of Luxor, and everything worked smoothly. What happened, MumboJumbo? My advice is to wait until an update is released, but I wouldn't hold my breath: this version is copyright 2010. We're way due for an update.
If you like the other Luxor games, you'll want to get this
I've bought all of the Luxor series. I already had this version from another vendor but bought this one so that updates were easier. Those not purchased from the Windows App Store frequently "forget" my registration. This version in the MAS is not plagued by the sluggishness & other bugs of the other version I bought.
Good for old times’ sake
It’s one of the best games I ever played. Love it and downloaded it sight unseen. However, guys, PLEASE, fix the resolution/full-screen issue. It’s very annoying not to be able to resize the game window or to play with either a tiny window or one where the bottom of the screen gets cut away so you can’t see your points or the menu buttons. Please fix it.
