keyg: the last prison

This is a wonderfully innovative game that's well worth playing and it's good value too! You control your character around keyboard shaped levels by typing on your keyword. You can only move to adjacent keys, but a good variety of puzzling obstacles get in your way. There is a narrative to give story context but it's mostly about the puzzles. The background music is chilled and fits well.

keyg is a game with a quite innovative gameplay style and some really interesting mechanics. However, I can't quite call it a logic puzzle. For the most part, it is a skill game. [list] [*][b]Gameplay:[/b] gameplay features a handful of different room types, but they generally don't diverge from those. This is my main gripe with the game, and the reason I cannot recommend it: at first glance, this looks like a fun puzzler. There were some really clever levels involving navigating with certain barrier-breaking items, or figuring out a set of movements. But then, in-between those you have levels where, unless you have really fast reflexes, will get you stuck for a really, [i]really[/i] long time. My strategy for the "key-mashing" type of levels was to basically look at my keyboard and press a series of keys in a loop. The problem with this approach is that it completely invalidated the "random enemy spawning" catch of the level, not to mention the more obvious issue of me not actually lo...

I love the concept of this game; it is very unique and, if executed well, has the potential to make a great game. The puzzle parts of this game are done well and the puzzles themselves have interesting solutions, a few of which stumped me for quite a bit of time. However, the non-puzzle parts of the game are disproportionately difficult, especially so in the second, harder playthrough. The controls I take no issue with—they're a bit strange, but this is done so intentionally and don't take too much time to get used to—it's the fact that sometimes it feels like you need to have inhuman reaction time in order to proceed. Take, for instance, the levels where you have to quickly navigate a maze to get to a letter that flashes on screen: the amount of time that you have to get to the next letter appears to depend on its proximity on the keyboard to where you are, rather than how many keystrokes it takes to reach it. Even though the letter that flashes might be only one or two keys away...

I purchased [i] keyg [/i] during a sale without putting much thought into it, simply finding the screenshots and trailer appealing as well as its bargain of a price: little did I know I was in for a surprise. The game revolves around different sets of puzzle-like levels that the player must guide their selected avatars through (a circle, a square or a triangle): in order to spice things up, the layout will be based on a keyboard, which means that you’ll have to press the correct keys in order to progress. The game will introduce some mechanics and different stipulations to clear levels as you advance as well as increase the difficulty, so quick reflexes and smart thinking will be needed. There isn’t much to say about the “story” bits, but they were entertaining enough and didn’t really drag on to the point of being intrusive. Visually, the game is simple yet clear, which helps give it a good performance when precise timing is required (at least it performed well for me): a...

i review games on steam after i 100% complete them! check out my reviews to see all the games i have completed! keyg is a puzzle game in which you maneuver around using the keys on the keyboard, moving from Q to W, and so on and so forth. there are varying levels of complexity. full price is $5, but i got this for 90% off (49 cents) and i could not recommend that deal enough. this isn't the best cheap puzzle game you'll find on steam, but it definitely is one of the better ones that you should buy.

Use your whole keyboard as the controller in keyg. It's a clever blend of puzzle-solving and dexterity checks across interesting levels. Hard mode for second playthrough. Get to know your keyboard.

Very well made game with a unique gameplay mechanic, which I have never seen done before! It even has some lore!

Interesting unique game mechanic with a surprisingly curious story.

Original concept but boring and tiresome. Pretty bad game.

An idea, perfectly executed.
