    The Plot

    Take a fantastic journey through an undiscovered egyptian world of traps, lasers, fire balls, gems, and hieroglyps.


    Goal of Every Level

    Smash all stones and blocks, pick up treasures that fall down and keep the ball in play.
    Depending on what part of the bat the ball hits, it gets a certain angle. Mastering the bat can take some time, but when you're in full control your treasure collection adventure gets even more exciting.


    The Level Pack Screen

    Bricks of Egypt contains a total of 8 level packs.

    Enjoy the Tutankhamen, Temple Mayhem, Echo Chambers and Fire On The Rocks level packs, which contains 8 levels each.

    Then you can extend your journey and enter the Pyramid Of Madness, Neferititi, Diamond Drop and Revenge Of Tutankhamen level packs, which contains 16 levels each.

    Each level pack and difficulty has it's own high score table, so that the whole family can enjoy the game at their preferred difficulty setting and try to beat their old high score.
