Labyrinth: The Classic Roller Ball Game

When I was a kid, I vaguely remember having a small wooden board with a pane of glass over it, some holes in the board, and a silver ball which you had to navigate through a maze without it falling down the holes. In Labyrinth, Keypads Games emulates this classic game in what they call "an exhilarating game of manual dexterity."

To play Labyrinth, you need a steady hand on the mouse as you navigate your ball through various mazes. There are 80 scenarios to choose from, with some involving holes and others not. The hardest levels inevitably involve the holes, where you must carefully move the board up, down, left, and right to roll the ball without falling through. Some holes are friendly, allowing you to pop out the other side and continue playing.

Labyrinth also includes a maze editor, although it is rather limited. You can construct your own mazes and share them with others, but the editor only allows you to add corners and holes. Despite its frustrations, Labyrinth is a fun game for all ages, as long as you have the dexterity and patience to navigate the challenging mazes.
