Description "...the fifth of the Twelve Labours was to clean the Augean stables in a single day. The reasoning behind this being set as a labour was twofold: firstly, all the previous labours exalted Heracles in the eyes of the people and this one would surely degrade him; secondly, as the livestock were a divine gift to Augeas they were immune from disease and thus the amount of dirt and filth amassed in the uncleaned stables made the task surely impossible. However, Heracles succeeded by rerouting the rivers Alpheus and Peneus to wash out the filth...
Augeas was irate because he had promised Heracles one-tenth of his cattle if the job was finished in one day. He refused to honour the agreement, and Heracles killed him after completing the tasks and gave his kingdom to Augeas' son, Phyleus, who had been exiled for supporting Heracles against his father..."

Hmm

Well, as you said, the tileset was nowhere near as good as the previous ones. The top section had nice, simple gameplay, however the objects were way too crowded at the bottom and the gameplay wasn't that great, I'm afraid. I think if you used less objects and made you maps easier they would play a lot better.
