The game remains similar to that in previous editions of Luxor: the main objective is to remove spheres of many different colors (ranging from four to nine different colors) from a track of spheres before they enter the pyramid at the end of a track.

The golden scarabs drop from three to six ankh coins depending on the game's difficulty level (Easy, Medium, Hard, Insane).

At the bottom of the screen is a bar displaying the current statistics and active power-ups for a level.

Many power-ups can be upgraded up to four levels such as Lightning Bolt, Fireball, Net, Slow, Speed Shot, Reverse, Stop, Color Cloud, Scorpion, Match Highlighter, and Pyramid Blocker, but the power-ups like Wild, Color Bomb, and more cannot be upgraded.

In Adventure mode, the main plot revolves around the evil Set wreaking havoc amongst the many Egyptian gods and goddesses.
