YIKES! Oh my god - I wan that for my iPhone! And I'd like to see Stoneloops! of Jurassica back in the AppStore! :)

[kainen]

the PC version you can download for free on trial is insane. Tons of polish. Reminds me of Treasures of Montezuma mixed with Heroes of Kavalwhatever it is

[RodmanSan]

Putting this on my wish list...didn't see it yet on Appshopper.... :(

Looks very interesting indeed.

* 7 different types of puzzles combined into one game


They released the iphone versions each as a separate game each being like 30MB for $1 each. Now they release this with all seven games combined for $7 for hopefully they'll have decent sales. Although still hard to say if the casual user will spring for more than $4.99 or not. Tough market. This game is very well polished I will say that.

the seven are:
Temple of Blast
Temple of Isis
Temple of Anubis
Temple of Osiris
Temple of Thot
Temple of Horus
Temple of Sobek

Each one has a slightly different method of matching. Definitely one of the best matching 3 games I'd say.

[RodmanSan]

Pity that the price is on the high side.... :(

Will wait for a price drop....:o

This game is stunning and a no brainer for match 3 fans and well worth the current asking price and the end of the day there are 500 levels

I am glad you posted this as I had forgot about these games. I remember holding off because they would take up too many spots. Nice to have them in one app.

This was a great game on the Mac ! I hope they kept the same voice actor; he was just terrific !

Don't know if it's the same one but he is good in fact everything about this game is so polished

[tangerine]

This is a great, thoroughly addicting game. I have it for my MacBook Pro and I bought each of the seven apps when they first came out. I would have loved to have just one app instead of seven but it wasn't available at the time. I now have all seven apps in a folder named Saqqarah so space is no longer a problem.

You will never regret buying this game and you will spend many hours playing. Even at $6.99, it is worth it and it's the price of all the seven apps combined so it's really the same thing. The older apps look amazing on the iPad, too.

[idiotcoder]

I've been playing it on my ipad and it's amazing. Polished and professional. It's solidly set in the match 3 genre and what it does, it does right.

Worth the price in my opinion.

Will wait for a price drop....:o
So, is the $6.99 WITH the 40% discount? Or is the discounted price coming later?

From what i understand....this is the price with the 40% discount as a special intro price.

[Vovin]

That's what I've meant - I want to see the 7 single Saqqarah games compiled into one for the iPhone, too.

[Squeaker]

Finally packaged in one app! Getting this..

[LordGek]

Does the game track local highscores for each mode or all of the puzzles mainly pass/fail?

[Vovin]

*sigh* No chance for a compiled iPhone version then?

[CzarCastic]

This was posted in the Thanksgiving Sales thread in the other subforum, but I thought it worth repeating.

On sale $6.99-->$4.99.

I couldn't pass it up, and decided to grab it while I'm on this killer app buying binge. Now to find some time to try out all of these new apps.

[AirGear]

The game tracks high scores for all modes combined, not individually.

It also supports multiple profiles, each player has only one high score.

Got this one last night - really nice to have all segments in one large game, just like the PC version. Very responsive control, lots of great effects, and tons of sound/voice overs. This a ton of content to dive into - well worth it.

[tecwrtr]

This is an amazing game. I love Match 3 games, but I've never seen a set of matching games with such variety.

There are seven temples, and at the beginning of the game, only the first one is unlocked (Isis). It's a fairly traditional Match 3 game except It isn't set on a grid. The three that you match may form an arc, a line, or any piece of the board. It takes a minute to wrap your mind around it, but then it's great fun.

The next temple is Thot. You have to segregate the symbols by color. It's more of a puzzle than some of the others.

I can't recommend this game highly enough. It's great fun, and I'm really happy to see all of the Saqqarah games rolled into one great app.

I'll be able to add to my review later. First I have to pry it out of my husband's hands. I got him hooked on it last night, and I can't get my iPad back! :)

It's a bit strange that the devs didn't care to answer my simple question.

[pluto6]

Now price reduced to $1.99....

I thought I was getting a great deal for $4.99.... sheesh...

[WilliamG]

I can't believe it's $1.99!!!! Insane!

This is a terrific game, with fantastic production values.

Only weird things are no multitasking support, and no rotation support, which is mad.

But in any case, a must buy.

Yeah. And I didn't even play much of it yet.. :(

[JCat]

I got it after the first drop to $4.99 last week. I hope it's doing well, because it's a lot of bang for the buck (and an attractive one at that)!

yea me too I got it at $5...and still am happy. Haven't had a chance to goof around with it...but for fans of match 3 this at $2 should definitely investigate as it's so varied among the seven different games.

[AirGear]

For this game, it's a crazy sale at $1.99. Buy it even if you're not a fan of Match-3 games, because it will convert you.

I mentioned to the developers about the rotation issue through email and they replied that they're implementing it in the next update.
