# 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!
It is a work in progress and also might be abandoned and forgotten at any time.
## Play online
Give it a try, I guess! [https://c.eev.ee/lexys-labyrinth/](https://c.eev.ee/lexys-labyrinth/)

- Can load levels from your hard drive
