Save King

Save King is a casual 3D puzzle game about guiding a princess through a maze to rescue a kidnapped king. The king has been taken to a prison on the 11th floor of a demon’s lair, and the princess sets out on behalf of the sick prince. A door to the lair appeared in a small pond on a hill near the kingdom.

Guide the princess

Each floor is a maze made of roads without walls. Dragging the left mouse button sets the princess’s direction and running force: the direction of the drag determines where she runs, and its length determines how far. Release the button to make her run, and press the space bar to jump. If she leaves the road, she falls.

Hazards and recovery

The first floor has only roads. From the second floor, roads move and skull-shaped bullets periodically fly toward the princess. A hit reduces her HP, and 10 hits kill her. HP recovery bullets also appear from the second floor; after 10 shots, the princess recovers 100% HP.

About 10 kinds of traps appear from the third floor. They can make the princess fall, return her to the starting point, stab her with a thorn or send her downstairs. Traps can also appear two in a row on the road. If she falls from a maze above the second floor, she must fall down and climb back up from where she arrived.

Reach the king

The time shown in the upper-left UI affects the ranking but otherwise causes no stress or disadvantage. On the 11th floor, falling sends the princess back to that floor’s starting point. Before reaching the king, she must collect the key on the final floor’s road; it is needed to destroy the prison and rescue him.
