Bungee Mummy: Challenges is the second game in Steampunk Wizards' Mummy series. The first title, Bungee Mummy: King's Escape is a lot like last year's Halloween App of the Week, Skullduggery. The goal of the game is to use your bandages to swing around ancient tombs like Spider-Man and defeat the evil Solark who has stolen your throne. Bungee Mummy: Challenges is a bit different in that it consists of four mini games instead of individual levels for you to complete.
