Lair of the Locksmith

Lair of the Locksmith is a rigorous logic puzzle game in which conventional platforming elements intersect with arcane magic. Delve into a dwarvish citadel full of locked doors to rescue your goblin friends imprisoned within. Experiment to discover interactions, then apply your reasoning. What you learn from one level becomes a technique later on.

The Citadel

• 60 handcrafted levels built on a small set of mechanics.
• Puzzle-solving: no precision jumps, spike hazards, or dodging enemies.
• Non-linear: stuck on one level? Try another and return later.
• Smooth rewind function: experiment safely and undo mistakes.

The Apparatus

• Keys are numbered and may be combined together, providing different options for unlocking doors.
• Boxes are mundane but versatile: carry them, stack them, jump on to them, and place keys on them.
• Cursed Keys are volatile: they leap into your hands and refuse to be dropped.
• Heavy Keys restrict movement, letting them fall causes impact tremors.
• Chickens are probably an unintended consequence of imperfect dwarvish magic. Plan accordingly.
