You are the Minotaur, and Theseus is coming to find you and kill you. He's faster than you, but you know the Labyrinth intimately and can outwit him. If you can evade him until his light burns out, then the tables turn and you have a chance to prevent him ever escaping the Labyrinth.
*Changelog*
24/08: Very minor change to clear state between games (fixes occasional odd behaviour when starting a new game after the first one)
27/08: Highlight explanatory text a bit more clearly. Very minor collision detection tweak to avoid crossovers.
05/09: Fix console error (no functional impact)
*Post-compo version*
Visual hints about the gameplay state: Remaining time and Theseus detecting the player's location.
Corrected arithmetic in pathfinding logic (was slightly wrong in the compo version, but happened to give about the right answer anyway).
Tweaks the the colour pallette and the Theseus sprite.
