Flawed. – Curse Of The Mummy Maze Review

Yeah... I thought this would be similar to the other Mummy Maze games, and while I was sort of right, I was sort of wrong. There are things this game misses that the other games did right. 1) No continues. That's right. You get 4 lives. You run out of them, it's a Game Over. Then the game sits there for a minute, and sends you to the main menu, only to allow "Start," which takes you back to the first level. I'm sorry, but no continues makes no sense. You need continues in order to figure out the puzzles. You should have infinite attempts. The other games did that. An undo button would help, but simply unlimited attempts would suffice. Bottom line: have unlimited continues. 2) Clunky controls. What happened to a simple swipe to move? Other games did that. While the direction buttons are there, sometimes they don't work right. I lost a life because the buttons didn't do what they were supposed to do. 3) Mediocre graphics. Sorry, but the other games had way better graphics. Not terrible, but pale when measured with the other games. 4) No pause button. Yeah. Do I really need to go in depth here? The AVGN said it best: Bottom line, have a pause button! As for positives: The music is good, and while the graphics pale, I've seen worse app graphics.
