How to play

Drag the bowl, or use the arrow keys, to catch the drops of venom. When it fills, take it to one of the jars at the edges of the screen to empty it. A drop that falls on Loki makes the earth shake; four tremors and you lose. Hold out for 40 seconds.

The story behind it

In Snorri’s Prose Edda, Loki is bound and a serpent drips venom on him; his wife Sigyn holds a bowl and, when she goes to empty it, the venom falls on him, and he struggles and makes the earth shake. The game is a simplification. Read the story in Loki in chains: the feast where he insulted the gods and the punishment that awaits him until Ragnarök.
