Looking for a quick adventure game? Key & Shield 2 runs in the browser and needs no download. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About Key & Shield 2
The Gorlik Island is still not safe! A curse is covering it with rocks while many of your friends are still locked in their cages. Take your key and shield again and traverse the new island to definitely unlock everyone!
How to play Key & Shield 2
Getting started takes about ten seconds. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. The second run is always better than the first — that is the whole learning curve.

|---|---|
| Mouse | Navigate menus and interact |

Why it is worth playing
