The guide

Overview

Hero Rescue Clone is an addicting logic game in which your mission is to help a hero get a lost treasure. To do so, you’ll have to figure out how to make the treasure fall through the castle’s rooms to your hero. If you’re a fan of puzzle games and are looking for a new game, check out this Hero Rescue and enjoy a fresh take on a classic puzzle. Although Hero Rescue has straightforward gameplay, it gets harder and harder to find solve the puzzles as you beat levels. The game begins in a castle, which is divided into sections with pins. Each time you pull out a pin, everything in that section will fall. To win the game, pull out the right pins to make all the castle’s hidden treasures fall toward your hero.

What it's like to play

A typical puzzle session starts slow. You look at the board, work out what the rules actually are, and make a tentative first move. Then the pattern clicks and the next few stages go quickly, until one stops you cold. That rhythm, easy then stuck then easy again, is the whole appeal. Most sessions last ten to twenty minutes before you reach a natural stopping point.

How to play

1Study the board before touching anything and find the pieces or tiles that have only one possible place.
2Click or tap a piece to select it, then click where it should go; most puzzles let you undo a wrong move.
3Clear the easy parts first so the remaining options narrow down on their own.
4When you are stuck, step back and look for a rule you have not used yet rather than guessing.

Why it's worth a go

Rescue the Hero rewards patience more than reflexes. Nothing punishes you for taking a minute to think, and the moment a hard stage finally gives way is worth the wait. It runs free in your browser with no download, so it is easy to pick up for a short break and leave again.
