Really cool concept!!
My feedback would be that after i died the first time, i wish the camera would have oriented so that i was looking at the path into the maze. Also sometimes if i would die and then quickly orient my camera to the maze and start running, i would still just immediately die, though i swear i was walking quickly towards the maze!!
Love the graphics too, with the pixel feel but still in 3d. that is difficult to pull off well and this game did it well! Very immersive. Great work!
