Labyrinth review





Labyrinth by Illusion Labs

Current Price: $2.99

Reviwed at v1.6.0

This app has a special place in my heart. It was one of the first apps I purchased from the Apple App Store, and has been one of the few that remain on my device.

Like the classic physical version of the game, in Labyrinth, you control a steel ball by tilting a wooden labyrinth, with the objective of getting it into the checkboard hole.

Like many buyers, I first used the lite version of this app. The app provides extremely precise physics and clear graphics, making Labyrinth a stunningly simple yet thoroughly enthralling app to play.

There are many downloadable level packs, which range from easy to difficult and everything in between. While the gameplay is repetative, you'll find levels sufficiently challenging.

There are a few options to tweak to the game to your preferences. You can game time limits to add a level of challenge to the gameplay, turn sound effects on and off, and play in 3D mode, which is also adjustable. These simple changes may seem trivial to other games, but to a simple game as Labyrinth, it makes a difference.

I purchased this app at around $6 or $7. I say take advantage of the current price drop. While this game is fun and challenging, there is only so much you can do with it.

Nonetheless, Labyrinth was the first app of its kind available on the Apple App Store. Illusion Labs has done an excellent job with this app, as many as the several other apps they have produced.

Graphics: 4/5

Sound: 4/5

Replay Value: 4/5

Value: 4/5
