I liked it, but i don't know why the attack stopped working before finding the minotaur 

Submitted

Not sure why, but I really like the lack of music in this game. The white noise really helps with the whole atmosphere.  Knife sounds were quite nice too.

I think there is some more work to do with the monster damage code, as after touching you once, they carry you around and don't damage you more unless you actually move (tiny things that could be easily solved if you ever come back to edit the game). 

I also would wish the space were more close to creating a more claustrophobic feeling that would have much lovely with the ambience sound!

Fantastic work with the animations btw! Everything feels really alive!

Great job on the background and enemy sprites. Attack is fluid but the animation doesn't  match the speed of the attack. Walk animations don't look like walking. The map and inventory are cool ideas but the way they're implemented obscures my  view. It's a quiet game that could benefit from some more audio. The way the enemies disappear I can't tell if I hit them or if they hit me. Well done on the theme.

First of the many Minotaur games I've played that has a mini-map! I like Theseus outfit although the walk animation needs a bit of work. I like the powerups and I wasted the ball of string by walk back into it. After a while I lost patience with wandering around at random and gave up.

sword strike unfortunately stopped working

Developer

Yeah, it was due to a scorpion glitch, thanks for playing!

Submitted

In the battle with the minotaur, the attack stopped working.

Developer

Sorry about that, it was due to a scorpion bug

Submitted

Cute graphics. But I ran into a bug a few minutes in. I entered a black room and after I killed a scorpion I couldn't swing my sword any longer.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah the bugs are really annoying, sorry abou that

Submitted

I have a question, why does the sword just stop working the second you get hit makeing everything inposible?

Developer

I'm not getting that issue, but maybe it has something to do with sword spamming?
