Description

Minos is a maze-building roguelite where you, the fabled Minotaur, must defend your sanctuary from bloodthirsty adventurers.

They've heard the stories of a monster in the dark, fame and riches waiting for the one who slays it. What they don't know is that you are the one who built this maze, laid the traps, and now lie in wait.

Every run brings new enemies, new traps, and new ways to turn their bravery into a bloody disaster. No two nights are ever the same.

Build Your Perfect Trap

Drag walls, gates, and corridors into place to shape your maze however you like. Make long, winding paths full of traps or confuse and split them up with rotating passages and shifting gates. It's your labyrinth. Cruel or clever, it's up to you.

Chain Reactions of Death

Every spike, boulder, blade, and fire trap can be linked into intricate sequences. Set pressure plates to trigger a whole cascade of chaos, fooling heroes into thinking they are making progress, right before everything goes beautifully, horribly wrong.

Who's the Real Monster?

Uncover the story behind the Minotaur and the man who became it. What drove Daedalus to create such a place? When Theseus finally comes, you'll decide who deserves to walk out alive.

This is a Puzzle Game with bits of Dungeon Keeper, Tower Defense, and a little splash of Sokoban rolled in. If you enjoy Greek Mythology (or even things like Hades or Epic the Musical) the vibes here are right up your

Look, you don't have to be a genius to enjoy Minos. Most of the joy I've found in the game is just plotting and plotting and plotting for hours on end. There's even a "reset" option if things aren't going how you

One of the best Tower Defence like game I have ever played. Easy to get into, easy interface and easy controls. Runs perfectly. And for the price, you will get your monies worth if you like Tower Defence games. Can't

Not sure if I should vote yes or no... it's ok. I really would like a "meh" option. The game doesn't have a lot of depth to it, story is weak, mechanics are a bit unintuitive and it is incredibly easy once you figure
