The Minotaur's Maze by maxkaemmerer

[raw]
made by maxkaemmerer for Ludum Dare 57 (JAM)

A small local coop game in which you have to find each other in a maze patrolled by a Minotaur.

This is our submission to Ludum Dare 57 and pretty much the first game we made from scratch. We hope you enjoy playing our little game as much as we had making it.

Source Code and a more detailed description of our process is available here

Fun one, gave it a go alone because I like the Minotaur's myth, but will play again with my girlfriend this evening. The music is nice and the calling mechanic is interesting. The Minotaur seems to go a bit nowhere tho.

I don't have any friends so i had to play it with two hands on the keyboard ;-;
Still a really cute game gave me a good startle a few times, i would love to see it expanded upon someday ^_^

This game broke my brain and I mean that in the best way possible!

Very fun while it lasted, we were able to complete it pretty quickly though. I feel like there should be a hard mode where touching the Minotaur resets the game. That would be a very easy improvement to make the game last longer.

Oh this is a nice idea! It's always goo to see multiplayer games on jams. The minotaur sounds made me so scared when I wasn't seeing him!

Very fun game. It took us a short while to figure out the signal mechanic. Overall we had some funny rounds chasing through the maze =)

I got through the game on the second try, I spent a total of 30 seconds on the game. but it was an entertaining 30 seconds, I liked the basic game idea. If you take it further, it would make an interesting game.
