About this game

An extremely rare puzzle on the ancient Egyptian theme, a little-known, complex and very unusual. The action takes place, rather, in Egypt, myths and legends, where gods - creatures are quite real and require human sacrifice. Ra, the supreme god of Egypt, was angry at something per person, turning him into a golden scarab beetle. But he suggested the following: if the beetle is able to overcome several tests, it will return to him the human form. And the role of this person in the form of a beetle is assigned to you ...

In practice, it all looks like this. You need to move the beetle to a tile with some kind of symbol, and then move it along with this tile to a row in which - horizontally or vertically - there is a tile with the same symbol (no matter if other tiles block the path from one tile to another or not); after that, press the shooting button, an asterisk will fly out, which will first destroy one tile, and then another, on which the scarab is standing, so after the shot it must be led away; that is, both tiles with such a symbol will disappear. Your task is to make sure that no blocks remain at the level, with the exception of stationary ones.
