About Speed King

Speed King is a bite-sized action puzzle set in a blocky castle. Each level is a single courtyard seen from above, surrounded by walls and moats, with the king at one end and the exit at the other. Guards patrol, drawbridges swing, and hazards fill the gaps between you and freedom. Levels are over in seconds, so the game is about finding the clean line and then running it faster.

It suits short sessions and touch play. There is a timer on every level, and beating your own time is the real goal once you have seen the exit.

How to Play Speed King

1. Look at the courtyard layout and spot the exit.
2. Move the king along the safest path, timing gaps between patrols.
3. Avoid guards, water and traps; a hit sends you back to the start.
4. Reach the exit to finish and record your time.

Controls

• Arrow keys or WASD: move the king.
• Swipe or drag: move on touchscreens.
• R: restart the level.

Tips and Tricks

• Wait a second at the start to watch the guard patterns before you move.
• Straight lines are fastest. Only turn when you must.
• Water and gaps are instant fails, so hug the inner walls on narrow bridges.
• Replay early levels for time once you know the layouts. That is where the high scores are.
