Khufu is a big hairy blue monkey who has excellent manners, is quite eloquent and has a manicure that I envy. Some of Khufu’s favorite words are “Well Done, Amazing and Tricky”. I whole heartedly agree. This game has done it right!
The artwork, special effects and sound effects are outstanding. The visual quality is similar to Magic Match and StoneLoops! of Jurassica. There are seven different types of match 3 games to play as you restore the temples of different ancient gods. There are 72 games with each temple, plus mini games to earn bonus points and power ups. So there is plenty to keep you busy for quite a long time. The voice overs for the gods and Khufu, the big blue monkey, are excellent. Each god greets you as you enter and Khufu encourages you as you play. When you have played four levels in one temple you receive a key that unlocks another temple and you can go there or stay where you are to complete the current temple.
The game developers even added a relaxed mode to the game at the request of the game players. This makes the game very adaptable to your needs as a player. I have completed the 504 levels in both the relaxed and timed modes and I thoroughly enjoyed both.
This game offers a lot of variety and interest for a Match 3 game. If you like Match 3 or if you haven’t played one in a long time, I think you will really like this one.

SPECTACULAR, I repeat SPECTACULAR! Graphics. Even if you don't always play puzzle games, take a look at this Game - with any luck this will be the harbinger of a new generation of computer games. (I mean it!) Kudos to the one who made sure every detail was taken care of - each Character has it's own - well - Character!
Now, if you are a bona-fide Puzzler, you will be ecstatic to find completely new as well as new variations. And if you still don't have enough, there are add-ons available through the web. Unbelieveable
I can't say too much about this game. High praise and a SIX star rating on a scale of five. Thank you, Game Club Cafe and Codeminion!!!! - Written by suecildra

I have played many match 3 type games and never outright bought one before; until Saqqarah, this one I had to have. Saqqarah has me totally hooked. I even have my 76 year old Mother hooked on this one. Thanks so much for a fantastic game.

Awesome game! I ocasionally enjoy puzzle and logic games but they're usually over much too quickly and I'm always left feeling vaguely dissatified. Not with Saqqarah! Unfortunately I've only been able to play with the demo and I wasn't even half way through one temple! The few times I have given in and bought a game after a demo, I've always discovered that I was over half done with the game already and buying it was just a waste of money since most games can only be playing one way and then they're done, period no matter how enjoyable. This is one of the few games (and trust me, I playts lots of demos, :D) that I think is well worth buying, especially with the upcoming saqpacks.
