Mind Lock

Mind Lock is a 2D metroidvania and the sequel to Heart Lock. You explore strange worlds inside your own mind, face struggles that may feel familiar and craft spells using Gems. The game currently has many of the same features as Heart Lock, with Mind Lock intended to become a larger sequel.

Explore and progress

You encounter Elemental Barriers that can only be broken with specific spells. Progress depends both on gaining abilities and crafting spells suited to the barriers. The world has no map; Tracking Flora helps you keep track of places you have explored as plants grow beneath your feet. Swap Points let you teleport back to the Pillow Fort to heal and reflect, while geysers launch you to high platforms.

Abilities and spells

From the start, you can hover, dodge and shield or deflect. More core abilities are planned to unlock as additional levels are added. You can craft and cast dozens of unique spells with Gems. A Mod socket for adding status effects to spells is planned.

Critters and boss

Little monsters roam the world and drop Gems, Dust and XP when defeated. Level 1 contains one unique boss: a dark, mysterious manifestation that haunts your soul. Defeating it rewards you, though those rewards are expected to change as more content is added.

The Pillow Fort

The Pillow Fort lets you strengthen your character and customize stats for combat. You can also listen to music or build your own pillow fort.

Loot and customization

Items found throughout the world include Gems, Dust, XP and Charms. Equipping Charms can increase your stats or movement speed.
