    Achebe, did you figure it out? I managed to get within one step of the exit before getting eaten.

    Me too. I think I'm on the right track, but it gets really tough toward the end.

    I DID IT!!! I GOT IT!!! WOOHOO!!! OH YEAH BABY!!! OH YEAH!!!

    Gosh, that was difficult -- but don't give up - it's VERY difficult. Took a lot of trial and error, but I figured out what I needed to do, and figured out a way to go about it, and it all fell into place. OH YEAH BABY!!! WOOHOO!!!

    Want me to post a screenshot??

    It's definitely alot of trial and error. I'll add one extra component to Vengeance's answer. See the c in the middle of the upper hand section?

    There's a series of them. I believe the one posted here was the hardest though.

    This game reminds me of Sokoban a bit.

    Okay, I think it's time someone posted a solution, or at least pointed me in the right direction. I recognized early on that the way to win was to lure the minotaur into that corner displayed in the screenshot, but I haven't had much success doing it.

    This has been my general sequence of opening moves. (N=North, S=South, W=West, E=East).

    NN EEE SS W SSSS EEE NNNNN EE NN EEE N EEE WWW S WWW SSSSSSS EEEEE

    At this point, I'm lost. It seems whatever I try to do fails. Is my opening correct at least??

    oh, and yes, you're 100% right until the last equence of easts . . . the post above shows you the answer. You're on the right track though. This last part isn't so bad.

    Hooray. Got it.

    Didn't look at the whole solution either, just the next two moves from what I had.
