Labyrinth PDF Print E-mail

Now that you've gone ahead and jailbroken your iPhone or iPod touch, there's a vast world of applications that you can go ahead and load onto your shiny Apple handheld. While NullRiver's Installer has a deluge of applications, there are some that are just more fun than others.

 

 

Enter Labyrinth; A completely awesome game that makes use of the built in accelerometers inside your iPhone or iPod touch. In this addicting puzzler, your goal is to navigate the marble through the obstacles of the particular board while avoiding any of the holes that cause you to lose the level.

 

 

 

 

To install, just go into Installer and click on Labyrinth in the "Games" subsection. Keep in mind you wll need iApp-a-Day installed first. Restart Springboard by hitting the Home button, and you'll see Labyrinth show up. To operate, just tilt your device a little bit and you'll see the marble move in the direction that you tilt it, just like you would expect it to. It's actually really accurate. Labyrinth makes use of OpenGL on your iPhone so I cannot easily snap a screenshot of it with Erica Sadun's screenshot app. Here is an image via a camera to give you an idea:

 

Here's a little trick: as you continue to beat the levels, you don't have to play back from the beginning every time. Just swipe your finger to the left (or right depending on the way you're holding it) and you'll be able to scroll through the levels. There is even a way to make your own levels, although it looks ike the tools are only available on PC for now.

Also on my iPod touch it's a little buggy, as the screen flashes to black intermittently; but it's only for a fraction of a second, although it is somewhat noticeable. However, friends of mine using Labyrinth on iPhones don't seem to have this problem, so I'll try to get in touch with Labyrinth's developer to see if this is a known issue.

Labyrinth is a free download, either directly from Installer, or from the author's website.
