Version 1.3 Update: With the new features in this update, Labyrinth’s rating has changed from 4.5 to 5 stars to reflect the improvement. Labyrinth is a truly fantastic game on the iPhone that has a very solid feel, great graphics, and now realistic sound effects that completes the picture.
After trying the free demo version, which includes 10 easy levels, I was instantly sold on Labyrinth. Especially when I discovered that the full version can download level packs, and already has well over 500 different levels to play on. With more being added, Labyrinth will easily be a steady mainstay on my iPhone.
What makes this game so great is it’s responsive and intuitive controls. There’s very little learning curve, anyone can pick up the game and instantly know how to play it. While in a room waiting for the doctor to show up, I decided to fire this game up. When he walked in, he instantly wanted to try it out. Before he knew it, he had played through 7 levels and had a big grin on his face. He was on his 60′s and had no problem getting into the game. This is the appeal of Labyrinth, it’s the game to show off to family and friends to show them what iPhone and iPod Touch gaming is all about.
The graphics, while nothing spectacular, are crisp and convey a wooden maze, complete with shadows around the walls. The steel ball feels, looks, and acts like a steel ball would. With a recent update, animation was added for when the ball falls in a hole with an upcoming patch adding the related sound. There’s no music in-game, but you can use your own music library while playing the game.
Labyrinth, at this point, is in my top 5 most played games. It’s completely accessible, loads up quick, plays great, polished, and is a great game to show off with people around. Go ahead and try out the free version and see for yourself if you haven’t yet.

[...] Before each level starts, you have to align the device flat and hold it over a dot to get the level to start. This is a way to orient you before a level starts. You tilt the device up and down, left and right to move the pieces on the board. The control feels just right, not too sensitive but not too slow either. It does take a bit to get accustomed to working with squares, instead of a round ball like you would in Labyrinth. [...]
