  • Cute game. The music fits the fast pace of the gameplay. Some sound effects would really elevate the gruesomeness of it all (the game description mentions sound effects but I couldn't hear any, just music). I was not quite sure what was going on when the Minotaur turned red. I suppose it was in rage mode and out of control? The controls were often a bit stuck in the corners. Perhaps it would be better if the player would snap to the grid to facilitate moving a bit. The gameplay becomes repetitive after a while. The theme doesn't seem to have been followed.

Awesome game! A few thoughts I had while playing...

  • Nice style for sprites and artwork and use of theme.
  • Great use of particle effects!
  • Raging out is an interesting mechanic but I was unsure how it worked.
  • Maybe would be fun to have some enemies to avoid like adventurers?
  • I had some trouble moving down the corridors. This can be a tricky problem, when trying to move down a perpendicular passageway, it could check if there is an opening and move or snap the player to the grid coordinate so they can move down that direction. At least that's one way it could be done.

Awesome job, the blood particles colliding with the walls is a super nice touch. Unless I'm missing something there is no way to loose, only get better scores. Sometimes vertical movement seems to take precedence over horizontal movement and vice versa. Really fun. awesome work.

Cute pixel art! The game play is quite challenging, feels like an opposite sided pac man
