Game Story
On her search for fellow treasure hunter Carter Bell Lara travels to a Jungle Temple lost in Cambodia where he was doing research. As she retraces his steps, she finds clues to relics hidden in the old ruins, the objects of his research which he left behind. After finding 15 of these relics, she suddenly realizes he has not been captured at all but is following evidence of strange mythical influences to some Desert Ruins of Babylonian making, which are hidden in the Sahara desert.

Features & Gameplay
Lara will automatically run through the levels with breathtaking speed and the player has to perform swiping motions on the touch screen of the Smartphone to avoid hitting into obstacles or falling down crevices. Additionally there are sequences called Combat Sessions where Lara has to shoot at Enemies and can collect Health, Coin, and Ammo Crates. After running for a longer period of time without dying she has to face a Boss like the T-Rex. There also are sequences on vehicles like the ATV or Bike.
All the time Lara has to search for Clues. After collecting an increasing amount of those clues she will be able to locate Relics. These will ultimately lead to the whereabouts of Carter Bell.
The game also features some kind of Social Gaming: After connecting the game to Facebook friends can compare their scores and send each other Curses.
