Ken's Labyrinth: 6 Open Source Clones Compared
The enhanced Switch port (LAB3D/SDL-based) ships all the assets it needs and doesn't require owning the original game, while the ktpanda LAB3D/SDL port and Lab3dGLES both require your own copy of the original Ken's Labyrinth data files to run. Lab3dGLES further specializes that same codebase for OpenGL ES on Wiz and Caanoo handheld devices, whereas the Android port adds touch controls in place of keyboard-and-mouse input.
