Review: Labyrinth LE

Remember when I said that awesome and innovative games were coming? Well, that doesn’t just mean complex, graphics-heavy games, but those that make use of the fusion of capabilities that the iPhone has.

Labyrinth is fine example: it’s a very simple version of the wooden box game that makes great use of the accelerometer. Think Super Monkey Ball with a top-down view. And no monkey.

The game was originally available on Installer for jailbroken iPhones, but has now been released officially on the App Store. It’s currently the top free download.

Labyrinth is incredibly simple, and very fun. Hold the phone flat, and move your ball around the maze until the end, avoiding the holes. It’s a game that is just playable, without complex instructions needed. Control is quite sensitive, and the physics seems very realistic-seeming.

Labyrinth LE is the free version with 10 free levels. The full version is £3.99 and has more than 500 downloadable levels, plus you can create your own. So play is pretty much endless.

Further information is available at the developer’s website.
