On September 18, 2009, under the More Games Entertainment umbrella, Chillingo Ltd released a great game called "A Quest Of Knights Onrush", a free funny game. More Games Entertainment is a developer, marketer and seller of innovating games for mobile platforms. Although at the beginning, it created excellent games for mobile phones with Windows operating system, it soon redirects its attention to other mobile platform (Symbian, iPhone 3.0 operating system, Play Station Portable operating system, and Nintendo DS).

The latest version 1.1.1 of this fun game not only is compatible to iPod touch and iPhone with the third operating system for iPhone platform, but also comes free. Just open your iTunes account and download it for free. You will not be disappointed, especially if you have enjoyed Mario adventures (on any other platforms). However, this free version is not entirely identical with the pay application.

The resemblance is in the characters used and graphic details. Even so, the game is fully functional, fun, and most importantly, free. In this version you can only control one character. Your quest is to make your way through all the enemies you will came across using just your sword. In the full version ("Knights On Rush" also on the App Store) you have to fight simultaneously at least five Knights. Your goal is to defend all the 12 castles. The game play is not just to remove your enemies from your sight, but also to break through defense systems ant destroy every enemy you can find. In "A Quest Of Knights Onrush" you have to protect your knight, while in "Knights On Rush" you are free to do whatever you want to them, blow the up, boil them, sacrifice them, freeze them, through them into the air, it is your call.

You will not find actually 11 types of enemies in "A Quest Of Knights Onrush", but will still get to fight other knights, ballista, wizards and of course the everyday swordsmen. You only goal is to survive as much as you can, in the killing enemy process. The "A Quest Of Knights Onrush" developers even stated their intention to improve this free version, making it more like the full game version (only if people will seem to enjoy this new game play).

The game increases its difficulty with every step your knight will take. You get good feedback from the controls. The whole environment has only one purpose, to damage you. Also, be careful because it will not just decrease your life bar but it will also make you vulnerable to enemy attacks. A good feature is the auto heal feature, this was mandatory in order for you to play more. You get every type of enemies you could want from a free version, either they appear flying, or just make their way to the battlefield out of the ground, this game provides sufficient activities to keep you in the game.

Because the 1.1.1 version is compatible with third version of operating system for iPhone platform, every device sporting this OS and Bluetooth can connect to each other for a multiplayer combat. However the drawbacks are consistent with the "free" type of this game. You get no save feature, no multiple levels, less enemies, abilities and objects (like in "Knights On Rush"), no consistent boss battles, or other nice features. Then again this is a free version, with the only purpose to make you buy the actual game. For a promo game with not all the elements from the "mother" game, the "A Quest Of Knights Onrush" is great for a couple of free gaming hours.

On August 08, 2009, MumboJumbo released Luxor for the iPhone OS 3.0 (version 1.0). It’s even on sale with 66% off the listing price.

What is it about? Basically you have to save the Ancient Egypt (go figure). The goddess Isis recruits you to battle the god Set in his plan to annihilate mystical lands of Ancient Egypt. You have to destroy chains of rolling colored spheres unleashed by Set. You will control a winged shooter across the screen using your fingers. Color match three spheres to clear chains before the pyramids. Swipe (or shake) to swap sphere colors before firing a shot (this comes in handy when playing the harder levels). Your powers (deploy fire balls, lightning bolts and others) are enough to keep you entertained, while other features like collect stop, slow, reverse and speed shot power-ups will demand your attention. This is an interesting type of uncover puzzle games, in which the game elements are discovered gradually.

A cool feature is that you can challenge friends via Facebook and Twitter, doing so you earn points on Plus+, the free social play network. Luxor has great graphics and smooth gameplay. Stoneloops graphics are so choppy compared to Luxor graphics. Controls are much better. Some of the levels are recycled (stage 5 is in the same place as stage 1).



The next version of Luxor will bring difficulty modes that will allow you to earn twice the points you are making in the 1.0 version. Leader-boards to update your scores on Plus + at the end of each level.

If you enjoy Zuma or Stoneloops then this game may seem too easy. You can play up to 30 to 40 levels and not lose a life. So Luxor is an easy, but excellent action puzzle game, while Zuma is harder. Stoneloops is also fun and challenging.

Luxor has excellent controls, 3 types, but the default works perfectly. It needs no loading, each level starts immediately. Good music, levels and mechanics.

Luxor is a great adaptation of a classic PC action puzzle game to the iPhone.

You just simply drag and drop the items you want in your game and it is pretty cool, because you can create as many levels as you wish.
