I hope you enjoy the game! I will note that this game's OST was hand picked from a variety of sources (credited in the Game Info + Credits readme file), so there will likely be parts of the game which trigger a copyright notice. That aside, best of luck on your future lockpicking endeavors!

7:18 To get all the keys, you need 16 keys. You are given 16 keys. This means every key you get must be spent. You can solve it the way you did from there.

[@Kitsunegami]

thanks for the advice, i remembered it when i went to solve the level by myself i started with green since it was the mid term ruled out the double green door and solved from there it was pretty easy level

16:15 The joke behind 2-8 is that it feels wrong to use 24 pink keys on a 24 pink door and master key a 2 pink door rather than the other way around, but it's the only way to solve the puzzle.

By the way that’s 2-B not 2-8

Fantastic editing on this video to visualize your thoughts as you talk through your solving of the puzzle.

[@vwastaken]

thank you editors for highlighting what Tyler was talking about; while I probably would have been able to follow it regardless that just let me visualize his thought process a lot easier!

[@100beep5]

As to that blue key puzzle, you can use the "must spend every key" because you start with 16 keys and use two per blue key.

[@maker0824]

I have seen countless flash games with the same concept. This one goes way more in depth than any of them ever have, but I was never a fan of these. So while I would never want to play this game myself, even if I don't even want to try and comprehend the solution, it's still enjoyable to watch Tyler explain them .

[@MrStone125]

It is a "I wanna be game" so I'm not surprised by it being like thjs.

[@gtsteel]

I was about to comment the same thing. This was originally a flash game called "Cat Got Lost".

[@maestorm1420]

great editing in this video, made your thought process really clear. thank you

[@ThomasNing]

And we're reminded once again how good Tyler is at logic and puzzles.

[@GreyMaria]

Thank god you're playing this, you're the first person I've seen post a video on it who has the capacity to actually think and observe their current situation...

[@christophermoore6110]

I dare say he’s a puzzle god, I don’t really like puzzle games, so 8 minutes in I was pretty lost. I’m sure I could do the levels, it would just take me a lot longer

[@antagonisticalex401]

Icely was the first one that contributed a significant part in popularising the game in my opinion, and I think that he is also just as smart in solving the puzzles. But for the rest tho I agree.

[@Patashu]

22:40 A comment on multiple blanks in a row - it looks like it's just the level designer having a joke, but it's actually so you can't pass using master keys.

[@samphoenix1674]

as some one who apprenticed with a locksmith funny enough this games logic feels like lockpicking or "pin prodding" to find the right sequence to open a lock , also as to how a master key works irl is that its got an extra tooth/hight that hits an overseer pin that basically overrides the lock and or allows for the lock assembly to be extracted for maintenance/ repining i know the lingo i picked up isnt totally correct , but regardless id recommend checking out "the lockpicking lawyer"

[@Opanker_]

Imagine if the lockpicking lawyer played this game.

[@redstoad6497]

Incredibly happy to see you play this game! Good luck with future puzzles, they are incredibly good but also i've proved many to be impossible, which only the best puzzle games, like baba, can do haha. 1-B does use the "all keys have to be used" logic, it's like a mine counting argument in minesweeper: there are 16 doors you have to open at minimum, and you have 16 keys, so you can't open extra and all keys have to be spent!

[@lukewardell2951]

Thanks so much for playing this! This is my favorite puzzle game. It has amazing logic with, imo, zero extraneous factors except the long walks from Point A to Point B. Hope you like it!

[@CasualGraph]

I like the development of "I lose nothing" logic here. Like, first we see this applied to the whole "spend an X key to get an X key" thing: if you can get to X key without unlocking that particular gate then you may end up with more keys. Then it gets applied to the idea that you should collect as many keys as possible as soon as the no-key gates show up. The introduction of mechanics that break logic that worked in earlier puzzles is a neat way to develop things.

[@buttonasas]

The factorial joke in 2-8 got me!

[@syndere6755]

I find the idea of a door that requires you to not have keys to be funny. Like, oop, my door only unlocks if I chuck my keys across the lawn.

[@iamanoob9747]

7:19 You are right that is the logic. You only have 16 keys to start and each path needs 2 keys therefore a correct solution spends every key

[@StarchieHalo]

Glad to see this game almost immediately gets interesting and evolves the original concept quite well which is hard for a lot of puzzle games

[@electronic_dude4970]

Tyler is one of the few people I watch that are actually good at puzzle solving, it's honestly pretty refreshing to watch.

[@JamesTDG]

0:06 that enter sound made me have a baba flashback

[@nathanpalmiter3260]

The spending every key logic does make sense in that Instance because you have 2 non blue keys for every blue key and there is no way to get a blue key without spending 2 keys

[@BleachWizz]

10:00 - oh man, I mean, there's been some pretty genius puzzles recently. But I don't recall this level of attention for the non options so they'll almost fit but not for a detail. I know it's a characteristic of puzzles, but like "baba is you" was the last time I truly saw attention to this and even so this game is doing it EVERY TIME. Feels like those math tests where the other options in the test are reachable by doing some common mistakes.

for you guys wondering how to do 1-B without assuming spend all keys, count the number of keys you start with; 16. there are 8 branches that force you to spend two so that means you have to spend all keys

so this is i wanna be the guy, but a puzzle game. cool.

[@TheRubySpider]

7:23 the “must use every key” logic was valid, because you had 12 non-blue keys left on hand, and 6 blue keys left to retrieve, each of which required the use of 2 non-blue keys. You could only obtain all of the blue keys by using every non-blue key in your possession, and therefore every purple key.

the layout of this game reminds me of an old game that was on my grandmother's pci played at her house as an 8 year old. i dont remember what it was called but it was winter/christmas themed and involved collecting presents? the level select and the graphics for it remind me so much of this game. love it

[@user-jn4sw3iw4h]

7:20 given how you had to go through 8 paths of 2 locks each (at a minimum) and had 16 keys to do so (so also the maximum) Yes it was a given by the level, not game-principle, that all keys needed to be used. Working from there was completely justified

[@christopherg2347]

3:10 I would say that is the "Turquoise" hue of blue-green. 7:25 There seem to be only a few basic types of challenges: Reimbursing challenge and forward paying. The main lock is reimbursing type. 2 Purple Keys, to unlock 2 Purple Keys. You can simply crack those the moment you get enough initial Purple keys at no loss for the rest of the level. But to be truly a reimbursing type, there must be no other way to get to said key (that is the rule of spending a key, to get the same color key, with the refinement). Most of the blocks are here are forward paying. You get the key literally in front of them. The challenge is to realize when you need to use the key on the main lock first. Unfortunately that seems to be about the biggest Puzzle I can still follow.

[@Goddessllias]

Nice little counting and pathing puzzle game

[@ngolongsl]

Quite a nice game, in 1B, you can actually deduct that you need all the key (not cheesing) by comparing the total keys you have vs total keys needed
