Underworld Run

Orpheus is in despair after the death of his wife Eurydice. He's been left behind and has nothing to loose. Armed with only his courage, he descends into the Underworld in search of his lost love.

How to play

• Use the left and right arrow keys

Avoid all obstacles and enemies, collect the good power-ups (but avoid the bad ones!), and stay alive for as long as possible.

Development Team

• Gonzalo Perez de la Ossa: programming, game design
• Steven Hue: music and SFX
• Jessica Fittock: 3D art and animation (player character and minotaurs)
• Sergey Germogentov: additional programming

(see 'Credits' for 3rd party assets)

I started this project as a simple prototype for this game jam (theme: Left behind, which I know was a bit of a stretch...). But after showing it at the Melbourne Game Creatives Meetup group, I was lucky to count on the collaboration of Steve, Jess and Sergey, which has been a lot of fun and has driven the game way further than I anticipated.

I want to thank everyone that helped me with play-testing and feedback: Glenn, James and Lawrence. Special thanks to Astrid and Albert for their ongoing support and feedback.

We used a number of 3rd party assets (all free), and I'd like to also thank and credit the authors for their generosity:
