https://youtube.com/watch?v=cYgKVmLnfvQ Another gravity, puzzle platformer by Dnovel, similar to their previous game Thomas Scott. Though this one has some more aspects to it. Like the previous game, here you manipulate gravity but rotating your screen 90 degrees so that it falls. Along with this, various things are needed like collecting coins in order to open the exiting level portal, pulling levers and matching marked squares to blocking walls in order to pass through. There are also rotating spikes and spiked floors that can damage. Visually, it looks nice with the gritty black obstacles and environment with grey background. At times you need to rotating the screen in different directions in quick successions as well, so playing for a long period of time may be nauseating, but the gameplay is definitely fun. Overall id recommend it to those who enjoy puzzle games.
One of the Best Lite Rougelike games on the market. Now for my actual game review. Positives: + Good user-friendly controls. + Nice reward in the form of achievements for completing levels. + Fantastic level design. + Perfect mix of slow and face paced game-play. + Its just very fun and fluid to jump into and rotate level. Negatives: - Core gameplay loop can be a bit tedious until you get to grips with the game. - Music can be quite choppy and repetitive and unless you get an enjoyable weapon to listen to they really do clash. All in all i think this game is original and high quality and is totally worth the money final score 8.5/10

TSK was a damn amazing game and I 100% recommend it to anyone who likes puzzles, dark atmospheres. However, Physics and gravity are amazingly implemented, the game is very demanding on your reaction. It's well worth the money though, even just to play it once. Highly recommend.
Сама по себе игра - платформер из рода платформеров но со своей изюминкой. По сравнению с прошлыми играми Dnovel лучше реализованы возможности физики на уровнях. Саундтрек очень атмосферный.
Well, I'm satisfied. This game is honestly incredibly fun, and fairly unique. Pros: - Austere gloomy noir style. - Good Music score. - Interesting Level design. You must remember the location of the level elements and keys. Cons: - Some rooms feel like damage is unavoidable, And there are too many dangerous balls! - The enemies are very simple, they just move along the trajectory. Overall, I give this game a 8.5/10, with a few suggestions that are entirely personal. Truly, this game is worth a purchase. If you love hardcore platformers!
The Square Key is yet another asset flip/construction kit flip from serial shovelware copy+paste "artists", Dnovel/FreeAnimals_Software. These guys do nothing but copy asset store assets and game tutorials, fill out a few things/stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, and dump them on Steam and into DailyIndieGame bundles as cash grabs. Today's "effort" from these guys is The Square Key, and it's a garbage 2D rotating puzzle platformer slapped together with the godawful Cocos Creator game development engine. DNovel have copied and pasted this template several times. As a game, it's terrible, of course. It's a lame 2D puzzle game where you rotate the level and use gravity to help you negotiate the puzzles. For that reason, this is below acceptable standards, and has no real merit or value as a genuine, sincerely made PC game. Using game construction kits doesn't need any talent or professional game development effort, and results in shallow, low quality shovelware like The Square Key. The status of this thing as nothing but an asset/template flip/cash grab is cemented by the "developers" prior history of asset flip/construction kit copy+paste jobs, the fake/compromised Steam accounts they used to write fake reviews, the laughable $12 USD price tag for this copy+paste template/asset flip garbage, and they way they dumped it into DailyIndieGame bundles immediately at launch. There's no serious value, substance or merit here worthy of consideration from PC gamers. I can't recommend it to anyone.
Son zamanlarda bu kadar çok aynı tarz oyun oynadığım için belki her bu tarza benzeyen oyun daha kolay gelmeye başladı eskiden 1-2 tlye alınabilecek bir oyun olduğu için çok güzeldi fakat steam dolara geçtikten sonra fiyatı indirimde 0.49 dolar olan ve 15 tl 1.5-2 saat arası keyif alınabilecek güzel bir bulmaca oyunu kesinlikle öneririm oyunun temel mantığı karakterimiz dediğimiz topu w,a,s,d, ile harita ya da bölümün camera açısını çevirerek hareket ettirmek ve giriş yoluna giderken toplanması gereken malzemeleri toplayıp giriş yapmaktır.
Рекомендую по скидке, хорошая игра.
Sometimes a game is just... boring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJS4SSWp1sg Watching me play The Square Key will give you a better idea of whether it's for you than words ever could. The art style is nice. The music is good. Gameplay is fine and timing-based. As you rotate the world around you, you'll affect gravity for everything else, including both death blocks and the blocks you need. A speedrun of this game would be absolutely beautiful due to the crazy momentum that is possible. The problem is that it's a short-and-sweet experience. Levels are short, and their challenge comes from needing to hold every movable object in your head as you rotate the world around you. I don't know what The Square Key is missing, exactly, but I hope that the dev is able to add it by the time for full release. The Square Key is still in Early Access and delivers what it says on the box, so that's enough for a positive review. But take a moment to check out a video or two before spending your money.
So, I recommend get this game if you are good at video games or extremely patient. I do not recommend this game for casual gamers like me. It's gorgeous, no doubt about it, and very well done. However, I'm not a great gamer. I enjoy video games and play them a few times a week, but I'm not particularly good at them.
