POCKET ARCADE / 0026

Keylight Keep

Three gates. One bright escape.

How to play

Escape through three gates in order: circle, diamond, triangle. Match three of a key symbol anywhere to store its key. Then clear that same symbol through the highlighted gate to spend an already-stored key and open it. A key forged by the gate-clearing match itself is too late for that match, but can be used on the next visit. Inactive gates do not open early. Once per escape, if a gate match is awkward, use the emergency pick: sacrifice three stored keys of its symbol and one move. The other two gates must still be opened by matching through their positions. Keys survive board refreshes; finish within sixteen actions (swaps or lockpicks).

Touch or click tiles. Keyboard: Tab to a tile, arrows to navigate, Enter or Space to select. New run starts a fresh board.
