Reviews from the App Store:

* "This app is one of the few gems around the app store."
* "Challenging, highly addictive, but also easy to take out and play in small chunks of time, this is the perfect mobile app game."

Based on an original concept from puzzle-master Robert Abbott, Theseus is a refreshing twist on the traditional maze. As Theseus, you must reach the exit of the labyrinth while avoiding the terrible Minotaur. The Minotaur takes two steps for every one of yours, but follows a strict set of rules that you can use to outsmart him.
The Theseus game engine provides complete control over move history, allowing you to undo all moves. You'll need it, since outmaneuvering the Minotaur can be quite a difficult task. Each level will reward you with that "Ah-hah!" moment when you discover the trick to trapping the Minotaur in the various nooks and crannies of the maze.
This package provides over 85 levels of increasing difficulty. Can you conquer them all? Only the most experienced navigators have been able to solve the final set.

Don't quite get how anyone cannot understand this game...

This game is excellent, I've beaten nearly every level and it's definitely one of the best puzzle games I've played. To those of you who do do not "understand" the game perhaps puzzle games that require patience and thought are not your strong suit; perhaps something pretending to be a puzzle game like Bejeweled (which is really more of an action puzzler) are more your cup of tea. This is game is truly for anyone who enjoys games like Chess or Go. Patience is definitely a virtue in this game. Easily getting frustrated and calling it quits, and then blaming the game is quite stupid on the person's part. Play the demo if you want to try it out first, don't buy it and then blame the game because it doesn't suit your narrow definition of a puzzle game. Aside from that, more levels would definitely be great (if this app ever gets updated).
Very good, challenging app

This is a fun app for a great price. It's challenging from the very beginning!
My fav

A brilliant game-and by far the best puzzler Ive played. I never get tired of this game. Whenever I cant beat a lvl I simply play somthing else and when Im ready come back to it. It is always fun and creative and best of all you have to think and think hard. I hate mindless games that simply require a pair of fingers. Lazy minds do not apply here. Thank you jason! I wait many times for sales so I can get a discount but I deliberatly paid full price for this because it is worth it and I wanted to support the maker. This game is on my fav game page and will not be leaving anythime son. MORe LVLS PLZ-even though I cant beat all these yet. Im asking in advance so when theyre done So am I. Thanks again. Joshua Fox

This game was amazing. You could make it a little better with backrounds and maybe even a 3D version. That would be sick!!!!!
By the beard of Zeus!

Very good game. It is what it says. No glitches. My only complaint is that it doesn't change. There are no twists in the game. No treasures to collect, no bonuses to strive for. Only a puzzle. Surprise me, and I'll give it five stars.
Miracle of miracles!

I write a pathetically whiney review of the lite version of Theseus saying that, while great, there is no way in hell this app is worth $3.99 and 2 days later :::pwang!::: it shows up for free! I would've easily paid $.99 to 1.99 for this but for free it's the biggest no-brainer on iTunes. GRAB IT...NOW!!!!! A truly awesome, challenging and increasingly difficult logic puzzle app that will keep you busy for hours. Innovative, smart and still ingeniously simple in design. A real must-have for the puzzle gaming crowd. Why are you still reading this review? Hurry up and get it!
JOB WELL DONE

What a terrific find Theseus is. Though I got it free during a promotion, I would not hesitate to buy it & already would have had I known it existed. I have zero suggestions for improvements to this polished game of strategy. The game is fun, controls are excellent, and the included tutorial is easy to understand. Also, zero ads of any sort in this app. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Very well done!

I don't usually write reviews for apps, but there was lots of obvious effort put into this one and is deserving of a good review. I recommend this to anybody who likes a game that makes you think. Good job, devs!
