In 2010, LittleWing released Mad Daedalus, a Digital Pinball Table and the sequel to Loony Labyrinth.This game revisits the land of ancient Minos by introducing the Athenian scientist Daedalus and Ariadne, a sentient AI he found in a wrecked spaceship. During the events of Loony Labyrinth, they had helped Theseus defeat the Minotaur, but were unable to return with him to the present day. Recognizing the Loony Machine as his future handiwork, Daedalus set out to recreate it, in hopes of escaping to the future and finally repairing Ariadne. But before the two can perform their time jump, they are raided by their patron, King Minos, who is desperate to keep their technological treasures for himself — and it's up to the player to use his pinball skills to save Daedalus and Ariadne...Mad Daedalus is available for the Apple Macintosh and Windows PC, with a free trial that unlocks to the full game. Compared to Loony Labyrinth, this is a tougher sequel, with faster and more challenging gameplay to go with its more serious tone.

Darker and Edgier: Compared to Loony Labyrinth, though the somber tone of the backstory does not intrude much on the gameplay itself.

Wizard Mode: "Spatiotemporal Rendezvous", which can only be activated after defeating the Minotaur, exploring all three underground tunnels, collecting the Ariadne Award from King Minos Frenzy, and completing the Power Plant. This is a four-ball multiball, and the player can shoot the Minos Palace and the Mino Chamber to restart King Minos Frenzy and Minotaur Multiball. The objective is to simply score as many points as possible before multiball ends.

comment
Stable Time Loop: The invention of the Loony Machine forms a Stable Time Loop: Theseus travels to 2,000 B.C. with the Loony Machine, which Daedalus examines. After Theseus returns to the present day, Daedalus eventually (re-)invents it. However, Daedalus cannot power it because Icarus lost the Loony Stones, so Daedalus places the machine in the Labyrinth. it is excavated several thousand years later, and the player (as Theseus) finds the Loony Stones, then uses the Machine to travel back to 2,000 B.C....
