Summary

Escape From Mindmaster is a first-person puzzler where you contol your character around a maze, whilst picking up certain items which act as keys. The whole point of the game is escape from mastermind which is explained clearly of the games name.
Throughtout the game you have to pick up keys in the shapes of letters such as X,H and T. The only way to complete the level is to find these keys and place them in the correct holes. Sounds easy right? Well it isn't.
Whilst you are finding these keys you are continually being chased by a little alien (you can change the speed on the title screen). You can turn a corner and without knowing the alien can be stood around the corner. You cannot change your camera angle because it is first-person, making dodging this little thing annoying.
Also what makes it hard is hard is finding the keys. You can only pick up one key at a time so you have to search the level for the holes to place the keys in, then go back to the key to pick it up. This is harder than it sounds because you can sometimes pick up the wrong key or lose the spot where the keys goes since all the backgrounds look the same. The backgrounds consist of four colours : Blue, Green, Red and Yellow.
If you are inexperienced at this game you will find yourself giving up after a good 10 minuites.
