MiniMaze

MiniMaze is a bloodless slow downing online multiplayer first person shooter game (short: BSDOMFPS) inspired by the game classics Maze War and especially the wonderful Midi-Maze II by Markus Fritze back in 1989.

IMPORTANT: This is a public beta and currently in development. Sounds, music, effects, characters and especially graphics will be replaced and improved in future versions of this game.

Features:

• Online multiplayer with up to 16 players (8 recommended)
• 8 unique mazes in different sizes (5 original & 3 additional)
• Dog-eat-dog-Mode
• Team-Mode (up to 8 teams)
• Spectator Mode (fly free through each maze and watch others playing)
• 18 weapons / features e.g. Fast Shot, Faceless, Quick, HUD Map, Reflective Shot, Auto Answer, Invisibility, Walk Through Walls and more
• Kill- / Game-Feed
• Offline- / Solo-Mode
• Quality & Screen Size Settings on the fly
• Fullscreen Mode

And now grab some friends and have fun...
