Jeff Minter's latest oddity hits the App Store

Caverns of Minos, the latest effort from veteran eccentric Jeff Minter, has just touched down on the App Store, priced at £1.49.

Judging by the gameplay demo below, it's a predictably psychedelic mix of Choplifter and Jetpack Joyride, with you guiding your ship down a vertical cavern to pick up stricken minotaurs.

Yep, it seems Minter's Llamasoft set-up is returning to the same barmy universe seen in 2011 iOS release Minotaur Rescue.

According to Touch Arcade, there are 21 stages to polish off and four different ship types to master.
