## In short

Coilkeys is a 3D tower-drop game in a tall, phone-style column. Drag left and right to turn a tower of round piano-key platforms so a ball of music notes drops through the gaps, through 45 levels with changing colors.

**How to control it:** Press play and pick a level. A ball of music notes bounces on the top platform of a tall tower made of round piano-key platforms. Drag left or right with the mouse or your finger to turn the tower and line a gap up under the ball so it drops to the next platform. Red sections stand out against the white keys. When you reach the bottom a screen says the level is complete; the home button at the top goes back to the level list.

## Tips

- Keep turning the tower. In two games without a drag, the ball was still on level 1 after 60 seconds.
- Drag in both directions: in our tests, alternating drags finished level 1 in two of three games within 110 seconds.
- Look for the next gap before you drag, so each turn is a short one.
