Labyrinth

The goal of the game is to collect twelve coins that Sara can use to buy back her baby brother from his kidnapper, the goblin king, Jareth. There are one coin in each of the twelve mazes surrounding the central castle. At first, only a few of the mazes are accessible; however, upon collecting a section of a broken key, Sara is sent to a hub where a friendly goblin will open up a new area. Each section of the maze has its own gimmick, for instance the Hedge Maze rearranges itself as the player wanders through it, and the Fieries' Forest is filled with teleports.

The game requires collecting all the coins within 13 minutes or restarting. Sara must also deal with enemies at which she must throw stones to dissipate. Her stones can be upgraded eventually, and she can gain the favor of her friends from the movie who will follow her around and try to help her shoot at her aggressors.

Throughout the game, Sara's time is constantly being subtracted by enemy attacks, but there are ways to gain more time. The player must balance solving the maze with searching for extra time to do so. Winning the game depends on finding all the coins and overcoming obstacles before time runs out.
