Keepsakes

Pack with care, make space for what matters.

In Keepsakes, you play as an adult moving out of their childhood home, surrounded by memories and nostalgic items from years ago. Your task? Carefully drag and drop these items into one small box!

Controls:

• Click and drag objects using your mouse or trackpad
• Press and hold R to rotate items
• Some items may snap or bounce depending on how they're placed

How long is it?

• Estimated playtime: 3 to 5 minutes
• Each level has a timer
• Replay levels to find more efficient or creative ways to fit your keepsakes :)

Design Philosophy

This game is inspired by Tetrominoes, a tiling puzzle where the goal is to fit a given set of tetromino pieces (shapes made from 4 squares) completely inside a given grid. Keepsakes expands on this, using combinations of tetromino pieces to outline the shapes of objects during the level design process, and allowing the player a little wiggle room when placing on the grid.

Things to Keep in Mind

The “Quit” and “Try Again” buttons are currently not functional. We’d really appreciate your feedback, so please leave a comment below! We’re aiming to turn this project into a full-fledged game, so every bit of input helps.

Fun Fact: Tetris was inspired by Pentominoes, a tiling puzzle that used shapes defined by 5 squares instead of 4!
