''Loony Labyrinth'' was highly lauded by computer gamers, scoring 92 out of 100 points from ''Intelligent Gamer Online'' and earning the Golden Triad Award from ''Computer Game Review''. Compared to Creator/LittleWing's earlier ''VideoGame/CrystalCaliburn,'' ''Loony Labyrinth'' is more whimsical and more forgiving, and never forgets to have fun with its premise.
