I love the idea of reversing the myth and playing as the monster, but I agree with the previous comments that it shouldn't kill the player if they run into walls (which seemed to happen to me as well). Because its incredibly easy to overshoot the movement, in fact its almost optimal to mash the keys to move as quickly as possible were it not for it killing the player.
I did actually manage to win once I had the pattern down of who escapes the fastest, but its kinda a steep learning curve without an explanation of whats going on.
I was dying constantly without knowing why. The visual impressions are really good, though.
Reversed myth is ok and the art style is consistent. I liked it, but I thinks it's almost impossible to win: when you catch the guys running away from one side, others are running away from the other :(
I like that you inverted the myth and had the player as the Minotaur. (I did this too in my Medusa game). It looks like you die if you walk into the walls - this a bit too harsh on the player. It's got a bit of a Pacman feel to it so maybe the maze should have more intersections- this means the player would have to make choices more often and give the Minotaur a reasonable chance of catching everyone.
I love the quick, frustrating fun. Well done.
