You’ve been trapped in the Labyrinth of Death!

\n

Unlock the gates or build a sword and slay the minotaur before he brings death upon everyone!

\n

There are 3 parts to the sword and you may only attack after collecting all three parts.

\n

After escaping the maze a white bar will appear, if it fills entirely, you win!

\n

Every dead NPC removes points, every escaped npc adds points, the longer you take the less points. Finishing the game with full health or killing the minotaur provide a 1.5x Bonus.

I really enjoyed this one. Presentation is excellent. The menu with all the controls and settings and even character customization was great. Graphics were excellent, the screen shake, the lighting, making walls in front of you transparent, all excellent.

\n

Only two issues I had were that sometimes my character would just stop walking, maybe an occasional collision bug? Not sure. Once I let go of the direction and pressed again it was fine so no big deal. The other was I wasn’t sure if like once I found the key I should just go straight for the exit, or if I should stick around and get the sword first.

\n

Otherwise excellent game, great presentation, great graphics, really well polished.

Great presentation! When the minotaur homes in on you it feels quite stressful. Good job!

I tried this on both mobile and desktop. The game is well presented. I like the animations and the graphics. The customization in the beginning is a nice touch.\nI like the egyptian theme music, but it\u0019s a bit short and becomes repetative after a while.

\n

The controls on mobile were difficult to use. Maybe it would be easier to control if we had a virtual thumbstick instead of seperating the screen into four areas?

\n

I wonder if it would be a good idea to introduce the escape door at the same time as the minotaur. It would let the player understand that there may be two ways of winning. Either escape, or defeat the minotaur.

\n

The minotaur is scary, which is a good thing.

Very polished game, menus, sounds, graphics are all great.

\n

Controls worked fine.

\n

The animations are really good.

\n

I played through twice for quite a long time; each time only finding one part of the sword. Was killed both times without finding both parts of the sword.

\n

Everything was great but felt a bit slow trying to find the sword parts in quite a difficult maze.

Nice labyrinth, and minotaur add a pressure! Cool presentation and font, really immersive! It’s cool to have a music, even if loop is a bit short and repetitive, not every game take time to have soundtrack!

Nice one.\nThe game was very exciting while running away from the minotaur looking for the pieces of the sword. Then i killed it and expected the game to end, only to realized I had to find the exist. But then I notice it’s locked. I went around the whole maze and didn’t see a key, so I went around again, but eventually gave up.\nThe look and feel is really nice. The characters are cute, and the minotaur scary. Very effective minimal look!\nI only wish the characters moved a bit faster. The sword swing was also quite slow.\nThe music is nice and fitting, but after a bit it gets too repetitive and a bit harsh.\nOther than that, quite a polished entry. Good job.

The music and graphics are well crafted in this jeopardy maze. Luckily the minotaur doesn’t move all that fast.

\n

I found the first part of the sword pretty quickly, but the other 2 pieces were harder to find. I navigated a long way around the extensive maze, and came across the key next.

\n

So I left the sword piece behind and legged it back to the locked gate which I’d already found during my quest.

\n

I scored 863521, not sure if that’s good or not?

\n

I could have done with a succession of levels slowly getting harder with each iteration.

\n

Well done on your entry

Played on mobile.

\n

Controls kind of worked but make moving around very tricky. Would be much nicer to move the finger in the direction you want to move without having to let go

\n

Nice music, cool graphics!

very pretty graphics and a nice addictive music lol. Played two times and both times got killed by the minotaur. Somehow I felt that the maze is missing something to mark the areas where I’ve already passed, some checkpoints or something.

Great entry! Music and sound effects were perfect, controls were responsive, and the gameplay was unique and stressful! The graphics were stylized and unique, making an incredibly polished game in only 13kb.

\n

Really good job :D

Really liked the graphics in this game, and that I could customized my character! My highest score was 1,452,592. I escaped with the key a few times, but couldn’t find all the pieces of the sword! I wanted to fight the minotaur! Liked that you added music and sound effects, and had a credits screen. Scene transitions were a nice touch. Good job!

Really enjoyable game, graphics are well-made and overall experienced is 100% positive.

\n

I tried to complete the game several times, sometimes using sword, and the other times I was opening the gates. Gameplay is really good for a game that small, I like the idea that there are NPCs running around that can escape with you and add you some points.

\n

I had a real fun with this game, really glad that I played your entry, congratulations on very amusing piece of work. I’m looking forward to play more of your stuff in upcoming editions of the competition. Good job!

Cool and unique graphics! Music and sounds were also appreciated. It even has credits! Maybe a little too zoomed-in for my tastes but overall good job.

Really nice graphics and sound! I found the idea of building a sword or finding a key interesting as there were options! I wish I could have made the NPCs follow me or do something more at the start to protect them.

I love the art in this one! It does have the that ancient vibe. I wish I could see more of the labyrinth on the screen, is like too zoomed on the character so is difficult to make in the head the map of the labyrinth.
