How to play
Move your finger or the mouse (or use the arrow keys) to carry the basket from side to side and catch the apples. Every apple that hits the ground costs one point of youth. When a dark shadow appears on the ground, move away: the eagle is about to dive. Catch 30 apples to win.
The story behind it
According to Snorri Sturluson, Idun keeps the apples that keep the gods young. The giant Thjazi, in eagle form, abducts her, and Loki has to bring her back. In the game it is you who protects the apples, which does not happen in the source. Read the full myth in The gods grow old when the giant Thjazi steals Idun and her apples.
