How to play
In FIELDLOCK you slide an electromagnetic rig around the rim of a chamber and switch between PULL and PUSH to guide a core to the exit. No hand can touch the cores, so the field does the work. The Vault beneath the city has broken its lock, and its cores have scattered into the deep chambers. Each chamber is a handcrafted physics puzzle, and the developer says glass breaks, shields bounce, gates need a charge, and currents move things. Faster routes earn up to three marks.
Controls explained
On touch or mouse, drag along the rim to move the rig and tap the dial to switch between PULL and PUSH. On a keyboard, the arrow keys move the rig, Space switches PULL and PUSH, Enter confirms, and Esc pauses. Switch the field mode before you commit to a move, because the core responds to whichever mode is active.
Tips
- Watch what sits between the core and the exit before you move the rig. Glass, shields, gates and currents each react to the field in their own way.
- Switch to PULL to draw the core toward the rig, then reposition the rig so the pull carries the core along the route you want.
- Use PUSH when the core needs to travel away from the rig, and keep the rig on the rim so the field stays lined up with the chamber.
- Gates need a charge, so plan the order of your moves around them rather than rushing the core straight at the exit.
- Faster routes earn up to three marks, so a clean line through the chamber is worth more than a slow, safe crawl.
FAQ
What is the goal in FIELDLOCK? Guide each core to the exit of its chamber using the electromagnetic rig. The developer says faster routes earn up to three marks.
Can I play with a keyboard? Yes. The arrow keys move the rig, Space switches PULL and PUSH, Enter confirms, and Esc pauses. Touch and mouse controls are also available.
What kinds of obstacles are in the chambers? The developer says chambers include glass that breaks, shields that bounce, gates that need a charge, and currents. Each chamber is a handcrafted physics puzzle.
FIELDLOCK runs free in your browser, so you can open a chamber and start moving the core without installing anything.
