Rescue Pins

Which pin do you pull first? One wrong move and the boys stay trapped, get skewered, or fall into a pit. Time to think.

You know those puzzles that look simple until you've restarted the same level twelve times? Rescue Pins is exactly that. The setup is always the same: a couple of boys are separated by walls, spikes, lava, or other nonsense, and a handful of pins are holding everything together. Click a pin, it slides out, gravity kicks in, and you hope the boys find their way to each other. Pull them in the wrong order and one of them gets impaled, drops into a pit, or gets crushed by a block. It's a one-button brain teaser that punishes you for being too confident. I remember a level where two pins were stacked vertically with a boulder above the boys. I pulled the bottom pin first, thinking the boulder would roll away. Nope—it rolled sideways and crushed both of them instantly. The correct move was to pull the top pin, let the boulder drop onto a seesaw, and then pull the second pin to launch it over the gap. That kind of 'oh, duh' moment is what keeps you going. The early stages are warm-ups—almost too easy. Then around level 15, the game stops holding your hand. You'll get pins that trigger chain reactions, timed elements, and boys that need to cross moving platforms. Each level has one correct sequence, but finding it feels more like experimenting than solving a formula. If you get stuck, you can restart instantly with no penalty, which is dangerous because you'll tell yourself 'one more try' for an hour.

A simple puzzle game! Remove the pins in the correct order. Bring the boys together. It gets harder as you progress through the stages.

Pull pins that release blockers or hazards first, not the ones directly supporting the boys. Study the whole layout before touching anything—one wrong pin can trigger a chain you can't undo. Try pulling pins in the opposite order of what feels obvious; sometimes the boys need to fall before they can rise. If a level has multiple boys, figure out which one has the most dangerous path and free him last. Watch for hidden pins off-screen; scroll or zoom out if the level seems impossible. Don't feel bad about restarting—there's no timer, so take your time and test ideas one by one.
