El Laberinto de Blu
El Laberinto de Blu (Bloo's Maze) is a screamer Flash game that was available on the latinamerican Cartoon Network website in October 2008, based on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends TV series. The game was a parody to The Maze.
It was available on the website since 2008, to 2011, where it was removed after the website got a restructuration. It was also available on the Brazilian Cartoon Network website, where it was called "O Labirinto do Blu".
The game is actually well known on the Spanish-speaking Lost Media community, where many members tried to find a copy of the game before Adobe Flash closed on January 1st 2021, all in vain unfortunately. One thing that was only available from this game besides two screenshots of the game's thumbnail from the Brazilian and Argentinian websites, is a gameplay video (although it doesn't show the entire game, and the scream is the one from Zoeken due to an editing.)
In July 21, 2021, the game was found by Hispanic Lost Media Wiki user MatyGamingHD and Flashpoint user Ganonthegreat in a CDN by Turner, after which the game was uploaded in a Google Drive folder, along with its different versions for different latinamerican countries as shown in their filenames, mx (Mexico), ve (Venezuela), br (Brazil), cl (Chile), ar (Argentina), and la (Latinamerica), for the rest of the country, although they're the same game save for the language in the Brazilian Portuguese variant.
Gameplay
As stated above, is a parody to The Maze, meaning it has similar gameplay; unlike the Maze, the title screen contains an instructions option, where besides telling how to play, it tells the player to turn up the speakers, to supposedly hear a "code" that Bloo will give the player upon reaching the end. After starting the game, using the mouse, you have to control Bloo through a white maze surrounded by turquoise-color grass with trees (instead of walls) to avoid touching, to try to reach a brown rectangle with an animated, shining key at the end.
While reaching more than the half of the maze, a screamer with The Grim from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy pops up, with a male voice yelling "NOOOO!", and then goes into an end screen; "MES DE TERROR! Videos, disfraces, accesorios de cabeza y más... ¡Este mes no dejes de asustar!" (MONTH OF TERROR! Videos, costumes, head accesories and more... This month don't stop scaring!), along with three Toonix avatars in halloween costumes, and two thumbnails for screamer videos created by CN for the Month of Terror, an option to go to the dedicated microsite, and a bottom text telling the player to send it to his/her friends, all in a background that is dark red with blood splotches.
