About The Mummy

The Mummy for Game Boy Advance is an action title incorporating puzzles, derived from its film counterpart. Its narrative involves a reanimated Egyptian priest from 1926 who poses a global threat.

Gameplay revolves around tomb exploration to secure artifacts. A trio of protagonists is available, each possessing distinct skills: one handles item transport and high jumps, another employs firearms for combat and hitting distant switches, and the third utilizes explosives. The player can switch between them at any moment, and all three must be employed effectively to overcome the game's platforming and puzzle obstacles.

Progress occurs across numerous levels where every character maintains an individual health indicator. The design allows for scenarios where a level can become impossible to complete, though a reset function exists to address this without consequence.
