ByteSize Games, the creators of last year’s critically-acclaimed iOS game FlipShip, today released its second game, Little Labyrinths, for iOS Devices.

“We are very excited to finally release Little Labyrinths and to share it with as many players as possible” said Chief Executive Officer Thomas Hoeg. “Like FlipShip, Little Labyrinths takes a simple, ‘byte size’ idea and adds to it until there is really a lot there for the player.  Whether it’s the unique scoring mechanics, wildly diverse game modes, or zany mix-and-match game play, there is something in Little Labyrinths for everyone, from the casual player to the high score seeker.  Despite the name, Little Labyrinths is really a huge game, and we can’t wait to share it with everyone.”

In Little Labyrinths, players help Cheddar and his friends find cheese, pearls, buried treasure, and more simply by navigating mazes with their fingers.  But that’s not all.  Every maze in Little Labyrinths is procedurally generated, so players never have to play the same one twice.  In addition, Little Labyrinths features more than thirty different characters, objectives, environments, and game modes all of which can be mixed and matched to create some truly…different combinations.  So whether it’s a grumpy crab searching for pearls at the bottom of the ocean, or an ancient dragon protecting its eggs in a magma pool, players have the ability to make the game exactly what they want it to be.

Features:

• Procedural generation means never having to play the same maze twice.
• Intuitive touch-based controls allow anyone to play!
• Over 30 different characters, objectives, environments, and game modes, with more to come in monthly updates!
• Mix-and-Match: Want a police car to search for buried treasure in deep space? Want a yeti to look for cheese at the bottom of the ocean?  All these choices and more can be had in Little Labyrinths.
• Unique risk/reward scoring systems make every mode feel like a different game!
• Want to know more about a character?  An environment?  Players can check out the included in-game encyclopedia for fun facts about their favorites.
• Full Game Center support with more than 60 different achievements to earn!
• Online leaderboards will let the players compare their skills with friends (and enemies) across the world.
• High definition visuals designed for the iPhone’s Retina Display!

Little Labyrinths retails for $0.99 and will also support in-app purchases (IAP).  Though IAP is supported, such support is made available solely to allow players to accelerate their acquisition of characters, objectives, environments, and game modes, if desired. In-game currency will always be available for collection at reasonable rates simply by playing the game.

I’ve had the chance to play Little Labyrinths for a few hours and play through the game a decent amount. The game overall is very well polished and is a lot of fun to play. The graphics are crisp and smooth on my iPhone 4 and the game even sports Retina Display graphics — all the better. The sounds go along very good with the gameplay as well as the game itself. At $0.99, it’s well worth the money spent for all the gameplay time you’ll get out of it. All in all, Little Labyrinths gets a 5/5 stars from me.

Rating: 5/5 Stars
