Aim, bounce and break the blocks in ancient Egypt, on the Nile

Scarab Sands is a brick breaker for the browser set in ancient Egypt, on the Nile. Drag to aim and release to fire a volley of stone orbs: they bounce off the walls and the blocks, and the balls come back on their own.

There are 50 levels in 10 chapters with ten bosses, from the Giant Scarab to the Pharaoh, one per chapter, and up to three stars per level. Among the blocks are treasure chests, oil jars and obsidian blocks. The coins you earn buy cannon upgrades and skins in the shop, and Endless sands, the Daily challenge and the missions keep going after the campaign.

How to play Scarab Sands

  1. Drag to aim: the aim line shows the path of the stone orbs.
  2. Release to fire the volley. Bounce off the walls to reach blocks hidden behind others.
  3. Clear the level in as few volleys as you can to earn up to three stars.

Tips: Scarab Sands

  1. Use the walls: a bounce reaches blocks that are hidden behind others.
  2. Fewer volleys mean more stars, so take time to find the angle before you fire.
