Keel: Sprint

A timed take on the cargo-balance game: every dropping container both fills the hold and shifts the ship's weight. Clear the required number of lines as quickly as possible, but a careless heavy side will heel the deck over and end your run before the finish.

• Race to clear the set line target
• Slot and rotate falling cargo to complete rows
• Keep both sides balanced to avoid a fatal list
• Beat the target without tipping to win

• Desktop: Left/Right arrows move, Up rotates, Down soft-drops, Space hard-drops
• Phone & tablet: swipe to move, tap to rotate, swipe down to drop

• Hard-drop confidently, hesitation is the real enemy in a sprint
• Keep loads roughly symmetric so you never stop to recover balance
• Set up easy multi-row clears to burn the target down quickly

The same original cargo-stability idea as the rest of the Keel family, cut down to a time trial: reach the line target as fast as possible without ever tipping.

Speed and balance are natural enemies here. Every fast decision is a placement made without full consideration of trim, and the ship keeps the consequences.

That is the sprint's whole argument. Given unlimited time the problem is nearly always solvable; the mode exists to find out which parts of your judgement survive having no time to check them.

Keel: Sprint is an original arcade puzzle combining falling-block line-clearing with a balance mechanic and a race format, a free, fast browser game in the Keel series.
