Enjoyed by children and adults alike, Illusion Labs really hit the mark when trying to reinvent a classic childhood favorite.

App Name: Labyrinth 2
Platform: iPhone
Price: $4.99
Overall rating: 5/5

Remaking a classic childhood game onto the iPhone is no easy task, but it can be accomplished. First completed by Codify AB with the original version of Labyrinth for iPhone, Illusion Labs reinvented the game with new features galore! Game elements that only a digital version could provide, it brings the idea of a labyrinth game to a whole new level. With things like cannons, bumpers, magnets, fans, lasers, etc. you can imagine how much time your could kill with this application for just $4.99.

The game play doesn’t even stop there; complete with over 20 default packs, each with 10 mazes each, even without the internet you have 200 courses to take on. And when even a small connection is available to you, you can jump into the download section and browse a infinite selection of user created courses. One of the only downsides it that you have to design your custom maze from your computer, not right on your iPhone like so many had wished. And with awards in the game, you can always feel like your working toward something… even if it doesn’t matter.

Using the accelerometer to control the board has its ups, but if your going to try and play this game while on your morning commute to work, you better try another game. Even the slightest movements can cause your ball to roll all over the place, even right into traps! On the other hand, this could make for some more action between you and your buddies. That’s right, not only single player is available, but multilayer is available via bluetooth or WiFi, allowing you to stretch the game even farther!

The Bottom Line: For $5, a game that can kill countless hours of time is always a plus. And when you can link with friends and never run out of levels to play, I don’t imagine your become bored of this game anytime soon! It’s quite a challenge to play if your on a bus or in the car, but sitting at your desk or a table makes the game just a little easier…. but it can make you frustrated quite easily when you become stumped on certain levels, but just don’t let the game get to you. A game I’d recommend to anyone, the re-invention of this classic childhood game is a game I’m glad came to the App Store!
