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.

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 f…

The Square Key serves as a symbol of the ancient lineage of square keys, possessing the unique ability to unlock any door and manipulate the environment surrounding it. In this game, players must rotate the level and guide the hero through various challenges to solve intricate puzzles. The Square Key is an exceptional game that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who enjoys puzzles and dark atmospheres. The physics and gravity mechanics are impressively executed, making the game quite challenging in terms of reaction time. It is definitely worth the investment, even for a single playthrough. I highly endorse it.
