The game's story is minimal, primarily serving as a backdrop for the puzzle gameplay, with players revealing pieces of an Egyptian narrative upon completing levels. While the graphics and background story are considered outdated and unremarkable, the challenge of the puzzles remains enjoyable, complemented by optional jigsaw side quests. Overall, the focus is more on the gameplay than on a compelling narrative.
“Once all seven words are guessed correctly, a puzzle piece of an Egyptian story will be revealed.”
“Story, music, and art are inoffensive, unobtrusive, and otherwise unremarkable - but hey, we're here to puzzle and play with words, right?”
“Despite the old graphics and sloppy background story, the game offers quite a challenge, an enjoyable one to boot.”
“Not much of a story, 55 levels, plus 7 optional jigsaws on the side every now and then.”
“Story, music, and art are inoffensive, unobtrusive, and otherwise unremarkable - but hey, we're here to puzzle and wordplay, right?”
