ABOUT THE GAME

SOORA SAMHARAM

Soora Samharam is Lord Murugan's Divine Play to capture the demons. The objective of this game is to capture the 3 demons (Asuras) and imprison them.

The 3 Asuras were Tarakasuran, Simhamuhasuran and Soorapadman and they were killed (samharam) by Lord Muruga.

Philosophically, this is denoting the 3 evils ஆணவம் (ego), கன்மம் (karma), மாயை (illusion) that need to be destroyed by ஞானம் (wisdom), where the 3 evils are denoted as 3 demons, and the wisdom is denoted as Lord Muruga.

Let us all pray to Lord Muruga to give us necessary wisdom to combat all these evils.

We know "Velum Mayilum Thunai". Hence the following two buttons help you in this game:

Clicking "Mayil" will show this information.

Clicking "Vel" will show Game Instructions

HOW TO PLAY

---

SOORA SAMHARAM

You are the player and disguised as Lord Muruga !! You have to capture the 3 demons (Asuras) and imprison them. Once all the 3 Asuras are imprisoned, the game advances to the next level. There are 30 levels in total at present (more levels are being added).

Move Lord Muruga one tile at a time using direction keys. You can also touch the empty space on touch devices to move Lord Muruga, and HE will move to that destination, provided there is a valid path.

If you are next to the Demon, use one of the 4 direction keys to kick the demon to the adjacent tile - (up/down/left/right). On computers you may use the direction arrow keys. On mobile devices click the following direction keys to move or kick in that direction.

If more than one demon is placed next to each other, the demons cannot be kicked(moved).

This is Lord Muruga, the player

In every level there are 3 Demons (asuras) with same face. As aptly pointed in Thiruppugazh, "Maarupadu Soorarai Vadaitha Mugam ondru / மாறுபடு சூரரை வதைத்த முகம் ஒன்று", demons change face every 10th level.

Demon for first 10 levels (Tharakasuran)

Demon for 11 to 20 levels (Singamugasuran)

Demon for 21 to 30 levels (Padmasuran)

Prison where demon is to be put

If you get stuck, there is a RESET button to restart the level. There is NO undo feature. This is to signify you cannot undo the past deed, and you need to reset/reload (rebirth) to conquer the evils.

If the level is not solved within 5 minutes, SOLUTION button would showup. By pressing this button, the animated solution for that level would be performed.

You can directly input the level number or use the + or - button to increment or decrement the level numbers. Click Speaker button to toggle the sound On or Off. Ensure the screen is in portrait mode on your devices while playing this game.
