++ Cool puzzle concept. Simple rules, yet it is possible to make challenging levels. ++ Having an editor (plus online level exchange) is great. + Nice simple clear graphics. + Nice Egyptian theme. + No performance issues here. + Linux! - There were some challenging levels, but IMHO it could have done with a few more hard ones. - Some levels (even on later areas) were so simple that all you had to do was touch each scarab right at the start, and wait. Some of these even awarded "innovative victories". -- The achievements are a huge grind, and there's way too many. This has resulted in many people submitting trivial level packs that are just there to help you get the achievements. -- A few bugs (including significant ones about scarab misbehavior) (reported [url=http://steamcommunity.com/app/370050/discussions/0/490125103642763843/]here[/url]). IMHO, 6/10.

Fun puzzle game.
A fairly decent puzzle game where the task is to get one or more scarab beetles to the finish square based on a fixed set of rules when the meet an obstacle (red beetles turn left, green beetles turn right), with more rules being added as you progress through the levels (gates, rotating tiles, one use squares, balls that can be pushed to holes, etc.) On the whole most of the levels are fairly easy to complete, although getting 3 falcons can sometimes take a bit more thought and timing, as one way of reducing the moves needed on some levels is to time two beetles to arrive in adjacent squares rather than manually pausing one in the right spot and starting it again when the other arrives. There were only two levels I genuinely found more complicated and required quite a few attempts to work out the correct path (plus one where I made an incorrect assumption and thought it was much more complicated than it was), so it isn't going to stretch you too much to complete. Overall then a pret...
A very nice puzzle. + Linux + Multiple solutions + Soundtrack + Animation - None yet
It's fun and I got it while it was on sale :) Very much worth it.
Good one. Interesting puzzles.
A solid puzzle game with a nice theme and good presentation. Multiple solutions to nearly every puzzle, map editor and community puzzles give this game a ton of replayability. Definitely worth the price of admission. GG.
If you like logic games this would be a nice addition to your Steam library. Reccomended!
