The most striking part of this unique puzzler is absolutely the art style, being all hand-drawn and incredibly detailed. Along with a very whimsical and relaxing soundtrack, the title harkens back to classic childhood stories that are sure to strike a nostalgic chord with most players. But of course, what’s a good art style without a lovely fairy-tale style story to go along with it?

After the maze stone is stolen from Opera City, the entire location turns into a giant maze. Pierre will spend the game chasing after the thief, the vile and dastardly Mr X, as he encounters new characters and brain-teasing puzzles along the way. With such a large collection of puzzles and secrets, you can expect to find more than a few unique and oftentimes hilarious pop-culture references and funny interactive secrets.

Labyrinth City launches today on the App Store, priced at $4.99. If a fun, playful puzzle game with an engaging story sure to keep you smiling throughout sounds like the perfect game for you, give it a shot!
