Legend has it that there was an ancient Geb named Sutek. He was stronger, fitter, and cleverer than the other Gebs, and was praised by all for his courage and wisdom. When he died, they built him a tomb that was the same shape as him (known as a Gebmid). It had four triangular sides, and a square base. There are now many Gebmids around the Lost Desert, but Sutek's was the first. To stop people getting at Sutek's riches (millions of Neopoints), his advisors placed a combination lock on the tomb. Strange symbols adorned an impassable door. For the person who could figure out the pattern to unlock the tomb, well, he would be the wealthiest person alive! This game is excellent if your bored since it has a fun zen mode, but if you hate slow puzzle games, this one may not be for you.
In order to get points for this game, you must swap two adjacent tiles to line up three, four, or five of the same tiles in order to get points. The more tiles you line up, the more points you get. In easy mode, a combo of 3 tiles gives you 3 points, a combo of 4 tiles gives you 9 points, and a combo of 5 tiles gives you 21 points. In hard mode, a combo of 3 gives you 10 points, a combo of 4 gives you 30 points, and a combo of 5 gives you a whopping 70 points. And in zen mode, each combo only gives you 1 point, but you will have unlimited time, so if you really want the avatar and you have a lot of time on your hands, you could get it with little skill required. Also, in hard and zen modes, you will have to contend with 2 extra tile types and a 10x10 grid (as opposed to a 8x8 grid in easy mode). The tiles that you will see in easy mode are:
Gem | Sun | Tree | Geb | Head
And once you get to hard or zen mode, you will start to see these tiles too:
Scarab | Shrine
Special Tiles
There are 5 special tiles that you could see in the game. They are outlined below in order from most common to "you'll see it once a year if your really lucky".|
|
Lucky Coin: These coins act as wildcards and can be used with any of the other tiles in the game. Save these for large combos or when you're really stuck. |
|
|
Bomb: If you can get a bomb to drop 3 or more blocks down, it will blow up the whole column above it earning you points for the number of tiles it blows up. |
|
|
Ankh: If you can get one of these old artifacts to get to the very bottom of the grid, it will destroy the whole column it is in as well as the whole bottom row. This earns you a ton of points! |
|
|
Painted Scarab: Painted Scarabs are almost the same as Ankhs except when they hit the bottom row they only destroy the column they were in, not the bottom row. They still give you a ton of points though! |
|
|
TPOSG: The Phantom Orange Shirt Guy is a programmer at neopets and enjoys adding himself to a lot of the games he programs. This one is no exception. If you happen to get TPOSG, you are very lucky as he is the rarest tile in the game. If you can get him to the bottom of the grid, he will destroy every single tile giving you 500 points! |
If you ever see one of the last three items, don't start searching for ways to get them to the bottom. Continue playing the game as you normally would but look right under or near them more than elsewhere and beware, if you ever run out of moves and the grid reshuffles, you're out of luck because the special tiles wont come back.
The game itself is very easy, its just getting all the points you need within the time limit that is the hard part. There are a few strategies though that will help you on your way to the top of the high score list.
First of all is the basic 3 tiles in a row. If you see a place where you can get three in a row, do it, fast. This will get you a bit of time back as well as a few neopoints in the end. Don't waste your time searching for ways to make combos of five or multi combos, do it if you can, but the longer you wait, the less points you get.
This next cheat takes a bit of time, but is very useful if you are near 2000 points to get the avatar or near a high score with very little time left. What you do is very quickly take a screenshot (if you don't know how, see our Screenshot guide) and pause the game. Then go to paint, or any other image editor you might have handy and look for possible combos. Then once you have a few and you know where they are, go back to the game, play and get the points and then repeat. This way is very time extensive, but helpful to get your last couple of points.
There are two different codes for this game. They are:
plzsutekcanihavemoretime - Type this code in anytime to gain 30
more seconds. This is a very helpful (and long) code and is best to be
used when you only have 10 - 20 seconds left.
pyramibread - You
can type this code in any time in the game as many times as you want and
it will show you a possible combo. Usually this code doesn't help because
it takes longer to type the code than it does to find another move. Only
use this code when you are really stuck.
Also, if you really like this game, you can read about it in its own
