Overview
Description

Players reconstruct the legendary Seven Wonders by matching rows of runes across multiple sub‑levels. Each wonder offers 5 to 7 challenging stages where strategic swapping creates rows of three or more identical runes. Two play modes let you test your skills: Free Play lets you revisit any completed level, while Quest Mode guides you through a progressive adventure across all wonders.

A brave young Pharaoh, turned into a scarab by the gods, must battle the chaotic god Set. Players stop colorful magical spheres by matching three or more as they travel through a maze, freeing captured deities along the way. Collect Ankh coins to purchase upgrades and call upon godly power‑ups, racing against the spheres before they reach the pyramid. The game blends fast‑paced action with classic puzzle mechanics for a single‑player adventure steeped in Egyptian myth.
