Gameplay
The aim of Labyrinthus is to arrange the cells on the playing field to create a path and reach for the exit. There are several ways of completing each level for the most part and it gets increasingly harder as time goes by. However, there’s something so fun about it and I think it’s something to do with the fact the game has such a calming vibe…
Graphics
As I said, the vibe in Labyrinthus is relaxing and soft. The background is plain along with the cells looking simple, but not in a bad way. Although this game can become frustrating especially since some of the levels are really hard, the relaxing element of it balances it out. I see this as a great game to play in the morning to get your head going, especially since the levels aren’t very long either.
Music & Sounds
The music is very slow and calming, just like the graphics. Everything fits in really effortlessly together and I’m a big fan.
As for sounds, they only really appear once you complete a level so this refrains it from getting irritating. I would happily play this game for hours without getting irritated at the music or sounds.
Controls
The controls are a little hit and miss for Labyrinthus. I found myself dragging the cells towards the area I wanted to place it, but it going in a completely different place.
The Power of in-app Purchases
I searched the app as much as I could and I couldn’t find one in-app purchase anywhere. This seemed strange because Labyrinthus does support ads, but there aren’t nearly as many as there are in other games. I feel as if they could’ve had in-app purchases to allow you to dress up your character or change the theme of the playing field.
The Verdict
Labyrinthus has a great mix of frustration over trying to complete the levels and providing a calming vibe through the graphics and music. I love the way everything is so simply set out as there’s nothing worse than an overcrowded screen on a free game. Labyrinthus is definitely the perfect puzzle game out there, I just wish it had some kind of in-app purchases for hardcore players.
