The GadgetHigh App Store Pick of the Week is a weekly series of posts where we talk about an app for iDevices that we just can’t put down. This weeks app is the sequel to a previous app store title, labyrinth. The developer, Illusion Labs, has been developing for the iPhone since the app store was started.The original labyrinth was one of the first games on the app store when it was unveiled and like the previous pick Super Monkey Ball takes incredible advantage of the iPhone’s accelerometer. The previous title contained a good amount of levels and was pretty straight forward like a real labyrinth puzzle. This newer version couldn’t be more different. It comes with a plethora of new features which I can only describe with a list.
New Obstacles: The new game has in addition to holes, cannons, bumper cannons, bumpers, lasers, fans, magnets, moving steel walls, ball multipliers, ball size changers, merry go rounds, sirens and buttons that can control all of them.
Checkpoints: These are fairly straightforward.
Awards: Awards range from rolling a certain distance to creating your own level packs and with more completed awards come new balls that go from Steel, to Bronze, to Silver and finally Gold.
Multiplayer: The ability to use wifi or bluetooth to go head to head against other labyrinth players for the quickest times.
Downloadable Level Packs: There are hundreds of level packs that take roughly 3 seconds to download that amount to about 1000 extra levels on top of the few hundred included in the official game. These add hours upon hours of playability.
Difficulty Levels: Easy, Medium, Hard
The price of the game is $4.99 and there is no question about this one it’s a truly well put together game for anyone at any age and with all of the new features it’s more worth it than ever.
