Turn of Taurtarus

Turn of Taurtarus

You are Hades, the god of the Underworld, and quite frankly... you’re bored. 

Taurtarus, the deepest pit of your domain, has grown dull, and you need something to entertain you. But suddenly, inspiration strikes! Why not toss a few dead mortals into one of your infamous labyrinths, throw in a hungry Minotaur or two, and see what happens?

In Turn of Taurtarus, you get to spin the maze to your heart’s content and watch the chaos unfold as helpless humans scramble for escape. But it’s not all fun and games (well, mostly it is). You must guide these puny mortals out of the maze before your beloved pet Minotaurs gobble them all up. 

After all, you need their sweet, tormented souls intact for your personal collection!

Gameplay

• Rotate the labyrinth using the A/D keys or Arrow buttons to shift the entire maze
• Guide your humans to the exit while avoiding traps and hungry Minotaur(s)
• The more humans you get out and the fewer rotations you do on the way there, the higher your score will be (which is reflected by your star rating and an accompanying description)
• Make sure to align the level exit with the floor to get humans out of the maze (they won't be able to enter the door otherwise)

How many souls can you save before the Minotaurs get to them first? 

Get all the stars and prove you're the true master of Taurtarus!
