App Review – Ancient quest of Saqqarah: Temple of Isis

Developer: Virtual Programming
Category: Games
Price: £0.59

This is the second game in the Saqqarah series and sees players trying to help Isis: The mother of Gods. The principle is similar to that of Bast and uses similarly joined tokens, only this time the board is always full and you rearrange the tokens into groups of three or more. Should you do this they will explode and more tokens will fall from the top of the screen to fill their place. The way this system works means that as tokens fall they often fall into groups of three or more creating continuing explosions and a constant falling of new tokens. This lifts the game and makes it seem incredibly fast paced and action packed. The speed and smoothness of the gameplay makes it instantly likeable and all the more addictive. This is one of the best of the series and an example of how to make a simple game incredibly cool.
