Labyrinth, from Barrels of fun!

Labyrinth feels like it was released years ago, didn't realise people over here didn't have them yet.

Tell that to the Pulp Fiction owners that have been waiting longer. By the looks of it, despite Labyrinth being announced after PF, it might just make it here before it. And for a brand new company like BoF to fulfill the orders quicker than CGC, thats been about for a while now, its highly impressive. Cant wait to get mine.

I'm one of them. I was late to the party so 'only' ordered in February.

I waited until Pinfest before deciding what to buy and Elton, PF and Labyrinth were all in the running. Labyrinth was my overall favourite but I only ordered mine in September so it doesn't seem like that long of a wait. I'll hopefully pickup a PF second hand next year. PF was a stand out game for me at Pinfest too.

Those of you waiting on your Labryinth games may want to add the following before you start playing.

I've been fortunate to have this game for the last couple of months and adding these helped my overall crap play. 😅


Before you play your first game, check the up post positions. One user had a misaligned up post which caught the clear and ripped up the surrounding area. It's rare but play it safe and check those up posts are centred!

Labyrinth Pinball Post Extensions Pack by soulrider911

This is a post extension set designed for Labyrinth PInball. These fit over over the post on the right outline and the double post on the left outlane to extend it. On most pinball machines the outlane posts are adjustable, to compensate for difficulty levels. Labyrinth does not have this...

The game doesn't have adjustable outlane difficulty adjustment. So these are used by many on Pinside. I printed mine in TPU which is basically a rubber like material, perfect for pinball.

There's a variation on this on Thingyverse but I find the original works fine.

Couple of things to note.

The game has additional modes. Hold down the right flipper for 5 seconds to access co-op mode, the final wizard mode and a kind of stall ball mode (great for parties).

Your flippers may need adjusting to hit the orbits more easily.

Most people have it set like this.

Finally familiarise yourself with the Pinside thread, there's been some talk about left scoop ware, some have used mylar to prevent chipping. Personally I think it needs a cliffy.

Bowie is in the building!!! Delighted with it. Such a stunning looking machine. Also a nice touch with the free accessories - bottle opener, magnet for stuck balls, cleaning cloth, art blade protectors etc. Who doesn’t love some freebies!

Had a good few games on it today and its every bit as good as I’d hoped. This one might even be a keeper!!!

Many thanks for your order and support great game choice indeed
 
Got to play this game for the first time yesterday.

I was a little sceptical, however the quality is great.

It's a more difficult game than it appears, the ball will randomly pop out of places (by design) that makes it fun

Has an interesting captive ball you lock a multi ball into the left middle lane and then have to hit it to release.

Hitting the centre loop Shots change from a loop to lock to moving the ball to eject from another place.

The left ramp lifts and ejects the ball, same as Elvira house centre shot.

Modes are fun, helps if you have seen the film

Top right flipper takes a bit, not sure what shot your actually supposed to hit, seems a bit weak and spongy. But that might have been my lack of timing.

Rules seem deeper than some, will need to play it some more.

It appears you have to spell labarynth this is done by the lights on the lanes, same as any other pin. Then hit either side of the centre loop to start one of the modes.

Interesting ball save on the left lane, post pops up and down, not sure how (from a game point of view). Doesn't appear yet you can nudge the ball clear.

A game that at some point wouldn't mind owning, although like any game needs more plays to get a better feel.

Certainly better than a some of the modern games I've played.

Think it also has magnets under the playfield like Adam's but couldn't be sure

Yeah it has a magnet in the centre of the playfield that throws the ball about.

The post that saves your ball at the left is re-activated by completing HELP from the lanes at the flippers.

Game just had an update this week and the mini game, Barrel Ball (stall ball), has added callouts from the voice over guy from Elvira games and others. Hold right flipper in for the menu before starting the game. It’s actually really good fun and the call outs are slightly abusive which make it funny (it slags you off in other words).
