About the Game

Glowkeeper is a puzzle game about manipulating elements. By the light of fireflies, link and dissolve elemental forces to construct bridges, break through obstacles, and traverse a glowing, interconnected world.

Features:

  • Over 80 puzzles, built around an intuitive linking mechanic that’s easy to grasp, yet builds upon itself to create layers and layers of challenge.

  • An open, interconnected world with multiple paths to explore. If you get stuck on a puzzle, there’s always another route to take!

  • A gentle difficulty curve with approachable puzzles for everyone, and plenty of optional challenges and secret tunnels for you to discover the history of this dim-lit world.

  • A carefully-designed hint system that nudges you toward a solution while still letting you experience the thrill of a eureka! moment on your own.
