The black dot at the bottom of the maze is you. You're trapped in the

maze and you have to find a way to the area marked Exit. Whenever
you go over a colored dot, the gate of that color will shift in the
direction indicated on the dot.

Theseus and the Minotaur

http://www.iit.edu/~maxiori/apps/Theseus.html

Theseus (the red dot) is trapped in this labyrinth and must find a way

to the corridor marked Exit. There is also a mechanical Minotaur (the
black dot) in the labyrinth. For each turn that Theseus takes, the
Minotaur takes two turns.

Tilt Mazes

http://www.logicmazes.com/tilt.html

“tilt mazes,” in which you are to imagine that a marble (shown here as a yellow circle) is on a board that you can tilt only to the north, south, east, or west. (You can’t do anything tricky like tilt it southeast.) Once you tilt the board, the marble will roll (horizontally or vertically) until it hits a barrier. There’s no way you can stop the marble in the middle of its roll. The object is to roll the marble onto or over every star in the maze.
