Puzzle Labyrinth 

 

Puzzle Labyrinth is a brilliant kind of a video game. This downloadable only hand held video game looks like a dungeon crawler. What we do in Puzzle Labyrinth is nothing like a dungeon crawler though. We use tools and objects in the levels to solve the puzzles. Players learn how to play Puzzle Labyrinth in the first level. Then we are given five keys to unlock additional levels. Each level the family member beats, they get one more key.

There are sixty levels in Puzzle Labyrinth. This Nintendo 3DS digital download is currently selling for $5.00. So that is almost a dollar per ten levels. Some of the levels in Puzzle Labyrinth are easy and some get pretty complex. There are hints along the walls in Puzzle Labyrinth. I always understood what Puzzle Labyrinth expected of me. Doing it was another matter altogether.

There are some quirks in this video game rated everyone ten and older only. The first is some of the attire of some of the characters. Some of them are also referenced in strange ways like a sexy cupid. I am not going to get into my personal opinions on that. I provide all ya'll the information and ya'll can make your own determination. I never got dizzy in the first person styled graphics in Puzzle Labyrinth.

I enjoyed my time with Puzzle Labyrinth. In some ways this 3DS game reminds me of apps on the iOS platforms. The touch screen controls reinforce that opinion. We can also use buttons to look and flee in Puzzle Labyrinth. I learned quickly that if I wanted to use an item in Puzzle Labyrinth I had to tap it. Players are able to carry five items at once in this thought provoking video game.

Puzzle Labyrinth has music that helped me focus on the puzzles. I love how Puzzle Labyrinth makes sure there are plenty of clues. I wish more puzzle games did this. Some of us are not smart enough to solve these puzzles, so the clues really help. I also like having extra keys to skip levels. I also appreciate being able to pick any of the levels within a twenty level range. Like being able to pick from any of the first twenty levels.

Puzzle Labyrinth is a sleeper hit that I hope gamers find. It is not mind numbingly difficult. On the other hand Puzzle Labyrinth is challenging enough that no one will immediately breeze through all sixty levels. I hope to see more games like Puzzle Labyrinth in the future. The only other franchise that is remotely similar to Puzzle Labyrinth is the Interactive Parables franchise.
