Having become lost in space, intrepid explorer Brian Bentley finds himself pulled through a portal into a labyrinth that, for reasons he may never understand, is a huge effigy of an astronaut. Even more strangely, the only way to reverse the portal is to locate six items that are scattered around the maze which make up a picture of an astronaut, before scavenging a battery to give it a bit of juice.

The labyrinth is a series of tight and confusingly twisting corridors which are patrolled by enemies, so gathering the entire image will take some skill.

Brian also needs to be patient since he can only carry one piece at a time and that, combined with the complicated nature of the map, makes Astronaut Labyrinth both challenging and frustrating to play. There’s still lots of fun to be found while searching for items, though, so it’s worth picking up.
