You are Damian Filigree, a grave robber and fortune seeker on an expedition to steal the legendary Book of Thoth.

Reviews:
theportablegamer.com: "With so many good games in this genre, finding one that really stands out is like finding a four-leaf clover in a field green. Yet, when you do stumble upon that gem, it really shines of awesomeness. Damian Filigree happens to be that four-leaf clover in the field."
How To Play:
You basically have to match three of the same symbols. To do this, you can tap any one of the stones. All stones up till the one you tapped will swap. For example:
If you tap on stone 4, 4 becomes 1, 3 becomes 2, 2 becomes 3, and 1 becomes 1
Every time you manage to match up three or more, the stones will break, and Damian will get the next stones from the wall. By clearing the walls you can lead Damian through the corridors in the bottom of the screen.
Traps, Chains and Items:
If you make multiple combinations, you will receive CHAIN bonuses. With these chains, you will automatically receive an item, which can be used to survive traps.
If you fail to survive a trap, you will lose one heart, and eventually die.
Some traps contain treasures which give you power-ups you can use. This becomes handy later in the game, to revive your health, or dispel the mummy.
Have fun!

Fun for a few hours
It takes a little while to understand how the tiles are swapped, but you get it after a few tries. Not too sure exactly how the game decides what items to give you and when you get an item as opposed to a treasure, or if they're even the same thing. It's so frantic swapping tiles that you have little time to pay attention to what's going on at the bottom of the screen. I'm also not clear on how you get the Egyption symbols for power-ups or what they do, except the Ankh, which I think restores your health. Also, there's no saving and you can't start from the floor that you died on, so you end up having to restart from floor 1. And I'm not entirely sure how many total floors there are either. I haven't gone to the web site, so maybe some answers lie there. Not sure.
Overall, fun game for a few hours. Replayability is low, but if you could restart where you last died, I think I would have played this game until the last floor.
A new SPIN on match3s
It's not bad. I still haven't figured out the running guy and locks and all. I should've done the tuts first, but I did get the hang of swapping the stones to match three or more.
I'll get the hang of it. Four stars for now, but it's worth the free download. You should get it while it is free.
Fun game!
Great work!
