Mind Labyrinth – Ubuntu’s First Mind-Controlled Game

A new retro-styled puzzle game that can be played using the mind is on its way to the Ubuntu Software Center.

The 52-level strong puzzle game ‘Mind Labyrinth‘ is the first game on Linux to make use of the wireless Mindwave EEG headset from Neurosky.

With the headset connected and the game open, you will need to put your mind to work inorder to move obstacles, make gears work, and recover health points.

Playing Without Headset

f you don’t have a brain-powered controller (and there’s only a slim chance that you do) you don’t have to miss out as Mind Labyrinth can be played using a bog-standard mouse.

In this mode the game feels a little too simplistic; you simply walk a character to a ‘goal’ point by clicking. Admittedly as you progress through levels this becomes a tad tricker, but overall it presents nothing that would tax – or entertain – ardent gamers.
