It's like a much cooler version of my LD30 entry. :)
I really like the lighting/shadow effects, and the use of sound for proximity.

It's like a much cooler version of my LD30 entry. :)
I really like the lighting/shadow effects, and the use of sound for proximity.
Really loved the concept
Very neat. I didn't realize at first that the sound was used for proximity.
Very slick - nice idea, shame you can't use the puzzle tiles to help escape the minotaur though. Like the proximity audio :) Good work!
A little confusing maybe, but kind of a cool idea. I got trampled a few times before I gave up, but I overall I enjoyed it. A little more terrifying than I expected actually.
Holy shit! The sounds make it very intense, hahaha.
While it took me a while to understand what was going on, once I did the game was really fun. It's well made, the approaching sounds are intense and the puzzle itself is great. Nice job!
nice! It was a bit difficult to understand at first. but I agree with the other comments. the sound made to game more stressful than anticipated.
Very cool game and very well done. Liked the footsteps (hoovesteps?) getting louder when the minotaur got closer. Thank you for the in-page embed! Would have been nice if there was pathing for the minotaur and if there was some other way to escape from him. Well done.
wish I could play it, the web version just displays a massive glitchy mess, but I don't think that's your fault.
I was lost at the beginning, But oh boy when I got I finished it with a huge smile on my face :)
Excellent audio experience. The graphics are nice as well and the game is fun to play!
I loooove the idea, too bad I was too dumb to solve it :( great job man ! (alos, scary audio !)
Really cool use of audio and theme!
Good game here! The concept is interesting and the realisation is great! Using audio volume as a feedback is a good idea. Nice!
How can i kill the minotaur? =) great game
Wow this is so simpel and great!!!
It's super hard couldn't win :p
The concept is awesome, good graphic quality, and the sound proximty feature is awesome too!
Wow that was really fun! Simple yet engaging. Best one I've played so far. Interesting to see your sketches and how your initial idea has evolved.
Really unique idea! Love how complex the map paths get after just a few moves. Great work!
Cute game x) check my tower defense skills xD
This was really cool! I loved the mechanic, it's super interesting!
It was very confusing at the beginning O.o
But very nice idea and I was very happy when finished the game :)
Forgot to rate :)
A mix of puzzle and dungeon crawler, very nice concept. The sound of like running kind of got on my nerves, but overall it was awesome entry.
Awesome game, but the minotaur really needs better pathfinding. Right now you can simply hide behind a corner and he will get stuck. Make him a bit slower than the player and being chased by him will get much more interesting.
Very interesting concept. Took me a moment to figure out the controls, though, so having a couple graphics to explain them would help. Other than that, I really love the mechanics. The game makes you think.
Great concept!
First time minotaur got me i wet my pants xD I liked it :D
Great game, I love it
AWESOME! my favorite!
Really liked this idea.
Great game! I really liked how sound was used for proximity, and the lighting was cool, too.
Great game!
Great game. :) Rate 555...555.
Its cool game, and concept. But I dont get it how to finish this game
Great job, such a clever use of the puzzle mechanic that gives that true mood of being stuck in a confusing labyrinth with a minotaur who know exactly where you are!
Really great! Neat concept and well executed. Nice work!
I really enjoyed this game! The sound of the minotaur getting close really built up the tension. Nice work!
Nice Game
Very cool, guys!
If it had more levels that would be nice, I would even want to complete them all, cause the game is really interesting to play)
5/5
Very enjoyable. The sound a lighting really play strongly into the gameply. Started playing without reading the directions and enjoyed just walking through the labyrinth wih only the lighting to clue me in.
Very nice. The whole labyrinth on 1 screen. Very much to yhe topic.
holy shit that minotaur actually frightened me
Wow! That was terrifying!
Really fun and interesting game you've made here-- once you get the hang of it, shifting the maze around is pretty fun. Excellent use of sound. Very spooky.
I really like it! Way fun =D
The sounds of the footsteps made it kind of scary.
Nice game, really like the sound :).
That background noise sure made it feel intense!
Wow the footstep audio scared the shit out of me! this was a fun brain teaser.
Looks pretty smooth and the gameplay is entertaining. I don't have anything negative to say about this. Good job!
The web player seems to be broken on Mac OS x :(
There's just flickering/flashing on the screen and trampling sounds.
great concept and implementation ;] Nice to play it
Great way to create the confusion and feeling of being lost in a labyrinth while allowing to see the whole labyrint on screen.
New graphics and animations would go a long way.
Really enjoyed this game! Nice puzzle while also a survival game. Loved the portal effect, at first I had no idea what I'm doing but when I understood, I really enjoyed the challenge. Well done kind sir :)
I love the concept! Well done! =)
Once I figured out what I was doing I thought it was excellent. The Minotaur was a bit too easy to avoid.”
Bravo! I love the space-bending puzzle.
Really great entry and concept. Not much else to say except that the minotaur run... It scares the crap out of me! :D
Really interesting concept, I like it alot. The graphics are nice and clean.
But I wish I could restart the game, without reloading the page.
Dat tension music :D.
Also, I like the concept :D.
Really cool mechanic. I thought I was going to suck bad at this (as I do we most of these tile-swap puzzle games) but it actually was quite easy to assemble once I just followed the tile where the character appeared.
Great concept and very original. Took a while to figure it out though.
Pretty nice game, was always wanting to make minotaur labyrinth in warped portal space and you beat me to it lol :D Job well done :D Though mine was more about figuring out whata hell are you seeing :D
Wow, that was Intense!
Difficult to start, but once I got the hang of it I Loved it!
Reminds me a lot of "hunt the wumpus". Not that it's a bad thing, mind you!
Nice game, but really hard. I can't finish it :/ Really nice production though.
Awesome entry! It is an entirely new puzzle to me =) Best entry so far!
Failed to launch on Safari, got a Unity load error 'Failed to create Unity loader'.
Strange, played loads of other Unity web games over the past few days! Let me know if you figure out what's gone on, looks great!
This is another Ludum Dare entry that I would be completely down to play if it were made into a full game. Super cool concept, smooth, and quite entertaining! Only downside was it was a bit too easy to avoid the minotaur.
Nice concept and use of sounds :)
I loved this :)
It's scary and challenging and confusing.
Hi there. Like the scary sounds. Nice atmos. Good job!
Great fun, plays well, and unique concept. Love the proximity sound.
Really awesome concept! And boy am I glad you didn't make it a sliding tile game haha
Nice game. Good use of line of sight and sound. Not really easy to understand first, but it's very helpfull to ovoid th Minotaur. Survival instinct made me take ever little infos to fight back and made me understand.
That was really good, I for some reason didn't realise at first that you have to swap the rooms and didn't know what to think of the game. But once I got that, I started to really enjoy it!
Wow, awesome concept! Normally I hate sliding block puzzles but I had a lot of fun with this :P Great touch having the small doorways it can't follow you through. Nice work.
How you managed to capture the feeling of dread in such a small game is quite a feat!
Hard game. Where on this god forsaken labyrinth there is an exit. I liked it but cannot beat it :)
Wow, figuring out just what is going on here is super fun and exciting! What a cool idea!
I think some people might miss the controls listed under the game window in the web version -- you may want to include them in the description on this page as well.
Awesome work!
Really cool idea, very mind-bending. The scuffly stampy sounds of the minotaur getting louder as he gets closer added a certain intensity to the proceedings. I wish the player sprite was a bit clearer as its quite easy to lose where you are on the stage. Nice work though!
Awesome, such a clever use of the theme. Sound is done superbly, mood is great, and just overall a fun game. Really well done!
Also, Manchester Hype! You should come do Global Game Jam, I'm setting up a jamsite in Madlab on the 17th-18th of January.
That was really cool! I feel like the puzzle could've been a bit harder, though.
Alex Rose: awww nooo! I'm abroad those dates. Guess I can't really complain about being on holiday ;)
Thanks to everyone for the feedback so far! This is rather overwhelming. Definitely going to keep mini minotaur going!
Excellent idea, but this is very hard.
Nice dungeon/puzzle combination, a little confusing, but cool!
:)
Very impressive! A sliding puzzle rises to a whole new level of tension when you're about to get killed by minotaur. :)
Ver cool idea! Like how you use the theme. This was realy new experience for me. Awesome work!
I would LOVE to see more levels of this, it's just that awesome that I want to do it again and again!
I really enjoyed this game, very innovative and interesting puzzle
Very interesting and original gameplay. Nice game.
Creepy puzzle game! It's a bit on the easy side, but it's really creepy when you bump into the minotaur. The sound effect of the minotaur is a bit annoying though, and gets very loud when it comes close :(
Very smart! I didn't know about the sound neither before reading the comments, but this game got some really good concept!
Nice innovation
wow, cool game and terrible atmosphere (this sound...). Good job.
Didn't realize at first that it was a "puzzle" so I was trying to use mechanics to "stealth". Then I realize I can't "kill" it in combat, and understand that it was a puzzle with a twist.
And then the fun began ! Nice job !
That is a really good concept! And it's could be really hard if we can loose :) (It's like death has no effect on the game ?) Congrats!
Great idea! A bit difficult at the beginning, but once you get the controls and layout it gets much better. Excellent use of the sound, it enhances the sense of danger.
I must admit I wasn't expecting much, but once I figured out what was going on this was quite fun. The minotaur galloping sounds really add to the intensity of the game. Well done!
Cool concept! The vision cone effect was really awesome as well. It's a bit difficult to figure out where things go, but I'm not super great at puzzle games. Still, some more feedback in that department might improve the overall experience.
