[b]the lost labyrinth[/b] is a standard fantasy match-3 with [b]120 levels[/b] and [b]3 game modes[/b]. [i]timed[/i], [i]challenge[/i] with a move limit and [i]relaxed[/i] with neither, plus an added layer of difficulty regarding the number of obstacles ([i]casual[/i] has fewer than [i]expert[/i]). there's a 3-star rating, doesn't do anything (can even continue with no stars), but it's based on the number of moves whether they're unlimited or not. sophie is our protagonist this time, or rather her soul trapped in limbo. she even has a voice for a couple of very brief cutscenes. the way out is through a portal powered by 12 talismans that sophie has to grab from 12 individuals also trapped by death. she has to charge their respective runestones, which involves bringing runes to the bottom of the levels. the rest is also a typical match-3 situation (it's a [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/dohi64/recommended/713430]secrets of magic 2[/url] reskin), [b]explained in the tutorial[/b] and via in-game prompts. money upgrades the [b]6 power-ups[/b] after they get unlocked pretty early on, they destroy or shuffle stuff. weirdly enough, gold tiles aren't goals but they provide more cash. …

This is a basic asset flip/mobile tier match-3 game that costs a frankly stupid $5 on Steam for the kind of game that is better and free on mobile. Mobile dev app store garbage does not belong on Steam. Unless you want to pay $5 USD for a free mobile game. Do you?

A very good match-3 game. I was impressed with the overall layout, artwork and especially the developing story line. A point worth noting is that the power-ups can be upgraded as one delves deeper into the game.

Great match-3 gameplay. Bonuses are earned by clearing gold tiles, not from endless ads or micro-transactions. I could take or leave the story, and the character art is not to my taste, but it's easy to ignore these and just focus on the primary action of the game.

Fun
