Great art, Nice music and sound effects,

I like how the light slowly dims to black as if it were your timer, but the game didn't reset when the screen turned black, which was confusing. (maybe an animation where the candle blows out and the character falls to his knees?)

I feel like if you have directional movement in any game you should have support for wasd, because a lot of keyboards like 60%, don't have the arrow keys.

and I barely had enough time to see the map of the maze before I was left on my own.

I also don't see the connection to the theme or limitation in any meaningful way, unless thesues is in hell in greek lore.

tldr:  Strong Art style, and pleasant music. 7.5/10

Thanks for the feedback!

Not having a reset was intentional. Theseus doesn't spend time in hell in the myths, but I thought of this game as his own version of hell: the maze is endless and there's no Minotaur at the end. Ariadne's thread is there, but it doesn't lead you back anywhere. Once the light goes out, you can technically keep going with just the sound effects as a guide and your score can keep going up, but it's a meaningless process.

Good point about WASD, but I'm not sure if I can remap the controls in Pico-8 x__x

Your Welcome!
