Aman ‘Rah – Mystery of Egypt
The people of Ancient Egypt have a reputation for devising very complex puzzles to keep would-be robbers out of their elaborate tombs. Afterall, the Pharoh must be kept safe until his meeting with the gods!
I created Aman ‘Rah in that vein. You are faced with a complex array of heiroglyphs. The key to unlocking the secret (a high score) lies in how cleverly you combine matching glyphs.
Aman ‘Rah is a game of matching. You must match two tiles that share either a Glyph or Color (or both) by clicking on one and then the other with the mouse. The amount of score you receive is related to what type of match you make:
- Match Color and Glyph – Maximum
- Match only Glyph or only Color
The four tiles across the bottom are called the tray. Using a tile from the tray for a match incurs a penalty to your score.
The other tiles are the board. Notice they are arranged in a pyramid. You cannot access a tile unless it is completely uncovered. It requires skill and careful planning to successfully match all the tiles on the board. There is a bonus awarded for clearing the board.
Can you achieve a high score and protect the King?
Designer Notes
I have been developing software for more than 30 years. DXStudio provides wonderful GUI tools for creating 3D (and 2D) environments. But, as a software developer, I created Aman ‘Rah entirely from code.
