Midas Crutch

Midas Crutch is a puzzle game built around transforming obstacles into gold. Instead of simply removing what blocks your path, you push the transformed objects into useful positions to find a way out. Midas’s lost totems provide another thing to watch for while exploring. The free browser version is accompanied by a Windows download. Its credited team combines code and design by Mors with pixel art and sound from several collaborators.

Examine the obstacles between you and the exit. Turn suitable obstacles into gold, push them into place, and use the resulting arrangement to progress. Look for Midas’s lost totems along the way.

Keyboard and Xbox controller are listed as supported inputs. Use the game’s displayed prompts for movement and interaction bindings.

Consider where a golden object needs to end up before pushing it. Look for totems while studying the route to the exit.
