Welcome to Lexy's Labyrinth, a reimplementation of the classic puzzle game Chip's Challenge®¹ — but completely free and open source, with entirely new art, music, and sound effects, and preloaded with 800 or so community-made levels.  Plus, if you have the Steam versions of Chip's Challenge 1 (free!) or Chip's Challenge 2 ($5) — or, by some miracle, still have a copy of the old Windows 3.11 version — you can load the original levels and play those too!

Play as the puzzle-loving fox Lexy and run around inscrutable mazes.  Find keys, traverse hostile terrain, push blocks around, all for the ultimate goal of collecting hearts for some reason or another.  It doesn't really matter; grab those macguffins and get to the next level!

Other exciting features:

  • Undo and rewind, for when you hit the wrong key ten minutes into some massive sokoban mess and completely screw yourself!  Or use step mode, where the world only moves when you do!
  • Phone support, so you can waste time whenever and wherever you like!
  • Play as a cartoon fox girl instead of some guy who is definitely not Bill Gates!
  • Create your own levels with the built-in level editor, and share them just by passing around a URL!
  • Secret debug features if you click on the logo!

Please note: This is a MIRROR which is not updated as frequently.  On the one hand, that means it may lag behind on new stuff.  On the other hand, that means I won't accidentally break it at 3 in the morning.  The choice is yours!  If you want to play the bleeding-edge canonical version, it's hosted at https://c.eev.ee/lexys-labyrinth/.  (Browser storage is separate per domain, so your scores and levels won't be shared.)

Also, since this is an unabashed clone of a commercial product that is still for sale (and includes levels designed for free by other people), it would be highly dubious of me to even appear to be selling it.  Out of an abundance of caution, I have therefore disabled payments.  If you would like to financially support me and my work in general, I do have a Patreon.

can you make it work on mobile?

I think there's a mistake with the Turntable object's description : it says that if it's connected to a wire, it only function when it receives power, but when I tried it out, it actually changes their turn direction (clockwise <-> counterclockwise). Yeah, should probably change this.

I can't access any pack except the first two ones... some sort of bug ?

This is awesome! I love the style and puzzles. The cute little "bummer" when you die made me laugh as well.

Very good game, i got stuck at first but it was because of my small brain, the sound design is good as well as the graphics and music 10/10
