You're a person (blue ball) trapped in a maze that needs to reach the escape (yellow ball). Unfortunately, sometimes you need something to stand on and all that's available are a series of bombs (purple balls). As soon as you touch a bomb for the first time, it will active (red balls) and you'll have 10 seconds to get your use out of it and get away before it blows.
Note: Currently, there's no damage to the player from being near an exploded bomb. Time ran out before this could be developed.
Information screens can be dismissed by the space bar. For everything else, use WASD. Make your way to the yellow ball to win.
It is possible to put yourself into an unwinnable situation. Just to frustrate you futher when this happens, you will have to restart the game.
Ok, a Windows version is now available. I've only just built it and I've never built one before so if someone could tell me if it worked, that'd be great.

Annoyingly, it seems that the pymunk API has just changed. If you get the draw_space error, replace the two instances of "draw_space" in universe.py with "draw" instead. There's not really much I can do about it as either way it's going to be broken for people.
Great game, I liked the concept. Maybe you could have improved the graphics and make it longer. I also had some little collision bugs... But anyway, good job. :)

I'll look into building a Windows exe just now.
