Theseus

Bottom Line (but stated at top): buy and use Theseus.

and it looks like I'm not the only one stuck on level ten. My only suggestion, regarding that, would be to update this with a simple help or hint button

Can't beat the value here for $2. Nice art and interface.

This is the first paid iPhone game I've downloaded since my initial buying binge when the App Store first opened, and I'm very happy with my choice. If you're at all a fan of turn-based logic games, you should buy this -- it's got that rare ability in a game to be challenging without frustrating you. With 87 levels, it's easily worth the two bucks it cost me.

This greatness about this game is that it's simple to learn but difficult to master. The entire game has a professional feel to it, from the well-thought tutorial missions to the smooth and simple graphics. Don't pass up this app!

Don't let the name Theseus turn you off. The game itself is one of the few apps that challenges you to use logic and strategy and goes way beyond your typical labyrinth or marble maze game. As you travel through the different mazes, you have to outmaneuver the Minotaur who is twice as fast as you. Of course, the Minotaur has his own set of challenges and limitations which you can use to your advantage. I particularly like the playing field and the interface...it's simplistic yet elegant...probably not a phrase you hear often when describing a video game. Also, you can either swipe or use the d-pad to move which you can use anytime during the game. Another feature is the scorecard, if you will, that keeps track of your progress as you go through the levels. It's a nice touch along with the undo/reset buttons. Theseus can be frustrating, but all you have to do is hit the reset button to start over which I've done many, many times. As you play this game, you'll find that nooks and crannies are your best friends which you can use to trap the Minotaur. For what you pay for Theseus, you will have tons of replayability through the seemingly infinite number of levels. You may want to check out the lite version to get a taste, and if you're like me, you'll wind up with the full version.

This is a great game in which you are a blue ball and when you make a move, the red ball will moves 2 times towards you.

F-U-N

Excellent polish and finish for a game that has basically no motion at all. A+ would do business again.

Tip: trap the Minotaur in the box directly underneath the stairs...

The PC demo version has a feature that allows you to see a solution if you get stuck on a particular level. You obviously should only use this feature sparingly, but there will be times when you can't quite figure out the solution for a particular level and would like some assistance. The PC demo has a very simple but effective way of showing you the solution - it just puts numbers on the squares so you know the order in which to move Theseus around to escape the maze; so this allows you to follow the sequence step-by-step and learn from it so that you will be better able to see possible solutions for later levels. The IPhone version does not have this feature.

I love this game. I love that the makers respond so quickly with the request to improve the game. I have only one suggestion since most have been done already. I complete every level I can and come back to the ones that im stumped on. Once I have completed a level I was stumped on it takes me right to the next level. Can you make it to where you can search through the levels while in the game instead of going back into the menu? That's my only request. 5 stars otherwise.

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

One of the most addictive in the app store this far. As for the review with 1 star, read the genre of the game first before you make a purchase if you even can read since you don't even play puzzle games obviously and probably only play games where you don't think. If you played the original on a mac or of you would understand what this game is about. Go back to your nintendo wii rookie.

Not some random maze trial and error. Well you could try trial and error but you won't get very far. This isn't a quick 2 min per maze either. Definitely requires logical thinking galore. Love it.

I r need help on lvl 10

Puzzle fans should not miss out. I just played for an hour, which I don't do with most of my other games. Ability to undo moves keeps it from getting frustrating, although level 26 is giving me some problems. Fans of this should also check out Parkinglot and MouseAbout, two undiscovered gems of the app store.

It's very nice to see stuff like this in the app store. I really enjoy Theseus and recommend it to those looking for a fun pick up and play experience. It's easy to learn and provides a broad level of challenge.

App is perfect for long trips or just a good mind puzzler. I would reccomend this app every day of the week. HelpMaster OUT

This will give hours and hour of enjoyment this relieves my stress and I can't put it down this is amazing I love logic like this when I play I sorts zone out is 1st rate puzzle.

This is a fun and challenging app--sort of Pac Man meets Chess with fun sound effects. The tutorial is very helpful and I like being able to start with easier levels and work my way up. Just when I'm convinced I've tried every possible way to get Theseus to the next level and there is no way, another tactic occurs to me and I get to the next level--with applause!

Theseus has tons of challenging levels, a great tutorial that is short but comprehensive, and a simple to learn, hard to master approach. It holds true to the online version that I got into a while ago. However, the best thing about Theseus is that the levels are challenging, but always stay logical. For example, Blocked is another great puzzle game but I sometimes find myself guessing moves until I find the right combination. Theseus requires you to think about the board logically because one wrong move=death. The only way that I can express the difficulty levels in Theseus is with an exponential curve. As the levels go up, the boards get exponentially harder and eventually seem impossible. They only seem impossible, because after thinking about them for hours, the right pattern clicks and I finish the puzzle (complete with the signature, "aha!")

This game is really fun. I like puzzles so its perfect. Im just stuck on 26 right now so it's bugging me but it's still a sweet game.

It's a great game for wasting time, and it's really fun but the only problem is the designer should have a guide that could tell you how to beat a level if it is to hard, besides that it is a must have for the iPod touch or iPhone.

Does it get any better 1.99 That's it for 87 levels Once I saw this I got it no thinking about it or anything and it's one of the best games on my ipod

Outstanding puzzle game! Beats the snot out of "just another Tetris" clones. Worth far more than a paltry $2.

I played these mazes for hours back in the day at logicmazes.com, and this version for the iphone holds true the the original. A unique concept with a wide range of difficulties make this a fun game to pick up and kill time with, be it minutes or hours. You can play any level at any time, so if the early ones are too easy for you or you get stuck on a toughie, no problem.
