# Lexy's Labyrinth
This is a web implementation of a puzzle game that bears a _striking_ similarity to [Chip's Challenge](https://wiki.bitbusters.club/Chip%27s_Challenge) and its [sequel](https://wiki.bitbusters.club/Chip%27s_Challenge_2), but is legally distinct, and also free!
Documentation is underway on the [wiki](https://github.com/eevee/lexys-labyrinth/wiki).
## Play online
Give it a try, I guess! [https://c.eev.ee/lexys-labyrinth/](https://c.eev.ee/lexys-labyrinth/)
## Current status
- Full support for Chip's Challenge 1
- Full support for Chip's Challenge 2... barring a few obscure bugs
- Completely original tileset, sound effects, and music
- Support for MS Chip's Challenge DAT/CCL files, Steam Chip's Challenge C2G/C2M files, and ZIP files
- Can load one of its built-in level packs, the original levels, or anything you've got lying around
- Support for recording and playing back demos (replays) from Steam-format levels
- Lets you rewind your mistakes, up to 30 seconds back
- Lets you take the pressure off by switching from real-time to turn-based mode, where nothing moves until you do

- Works on touchscreens too
- Has compatibility settings for opting into behavior (or bugs) from particular implementations
