Consider your path carefully, as the tiles you step on become deadly after a short delay, which makes backtracking difficult.  Objective is to step on all of the bright blue tiles in each room. You receive a key for each area that is cleared.

Controls: WASD or Arrow Keys to move, P to pause the game 

Optional: If you have difficulty solving the puzzles, try stopping on a green safe tile and using the line-drawing tool to trace out a possible solution (only useful in boss room at present).  Left-Click to begin drawing a line with the mouse, and left-click again to finish drawing the line.  You can then follow your line as a guide to help solve the puzzle.  Note you can only have one active line at a time.  Right-Click to erase the ink at any time.

--Additional Features for Ease of Testing (AKA "Lindsay Mode")--

  • K automatically gives the player a key.  You can hold up to two keys at any time.
  • I ('i' for invincible) makes the player immune to deadly tiles.  You can toggle invincibility on and off.
