Hunt The Luampus

Caccia un mostro sanguinante in un labirinto gelido! Hai solo una freccia da sparare!

Inspired from a famous text based adventure game of the 70s, and ported to many home computers in the '80s, is one of the most creative games ever appeared in the computer games arena. You will guide an hunter through a very winding maze, chasing a very hungry monster named Luampus. You will make your way through tunnels and caves. If you enter two red (bloody) caves in a row (not counting the tunnels), then you may be adjacent to a cave with the monster inside. So be careful. You will try to explore as many caves as possible in order to guess where the monster is hidden. When you are reasonably sure (or you think to be) that the Luampus is in a given cave, you will fire your sole special missile-arrow in the direction of that cave. If you miss it, you will be eaten! If not, the time you took to kill the monster will be displayed. But the monster is not the only danger. There are bottomless pits with moving sands, that are surrounded by green caves full of moss. Beware: only one cave with green moss separates you from falling into a the pit. There are also big bats that will take you to another random cave or tunnel. Sometimes they may be useful...sometimes not...

There are 7 levels, from practice to really impossible! For each level, you may choose the blind mode (you see only the current cell), normal mode (the already explored cells remain visible) or caveman mode, where a caveman will chase you around the maze.

Good luck!
