Oh Mummy

Ancient Egypt is the setting and your task is to find the royal mummies inside a pyramid. There are five levels in a pyramid and each level is represented by a rectangle consisting of twenty boxes.

Each box may contain treasure, a royal mummy, a scroll, a guardian mummy or nothing at all. To reveal the contents of a box you have to run round it with the character you control, leaving a footstep trail. Once you have discovered the royal mummy and key you can escape to the next level.

Guardian mummies will end one of your lives if they catch you unless you have found the scroll which will protect you against one of them. Completing all five levels takes you on to another pyramid.

Good News

P. Pleasant Egyptian music.
P. Fast reaction gameplay on higher levels of game.

Bad News

N. Not much complexity.
N. No changes in the pyramid layouts or task.
