About Pin Rescue
Pin Rescue is a pull-the-pin puzzle about reading a contraption before you touch it. Every level is a cutaway mine shaft full of gold coins, and at the bottom stands a small knight waiting by his treasure chest. Silver pins hold everything in place. Drag one out and whatever it was holding obeys gravity: gold rains into the funnel, water sloshes downhill, lava spills wherever the walls let it. Your job is to work out which pins to pull, and in what order, so that enough gold reaches the knight - and nothing else does.
The elements interact the way you would hope. Water douses lava on contact, so a lot of levels are about rinsing a passage clean before the gold parade marches through it. Boulders plug holes if you drop them first, dam a lava river if you time it right, and flatten the knight if you get careless. Sleeping dragons wake the moment hot lava splashes near them, and a woken dragon does not go back to sleep. Later levels chain pins together with locks, hide bridges among the pulls - some pins are load-bearing and must stay - and mirror earlier contraptions so the trick you learned reads right to left.
Each of the 40 levels sets a gold quota, and finishing with every coin banked and barely a splash on the knight earns three stars. The pin you should not pull is usually the one that looks most inviting.

How to play Pin Rescue
Grab a pin by its glowing ring and drag along its length to yank it out - a short tug springs back, a full pull commits. The banner shows each level's goal, like 14 of 20 gold: get at least that many coins to the knight to win. Lava, drowning, boulders and dragons all end the run instantly, and burning too much gold fails it too. Padlocked pins unlock only after the pin holding them is pulled. Collect every coin with a clean, dry knight for three stars, and beat a level to unlock the next on the 40-level map.
Controls
Desktop: click and drag a pin's ring to pull it, R to retry, Escape for the level map, M to mute. On the results screen, Enter or Space continues. Mobile: touch and drag the ring; the top bar has retry and level-select buttons.
Tips & tricks
- Trace every pin before pulling any: follow what it holds, where that falls, and what it lands on.
- Water before gold - if lava sits anywhere along the gold's path, find the pin that washes or plugs it first.
- Boulders go first: dropped early they seal pits and dam lava, dropped late they crush your own gold run - or the knight.
- If a pin has a padlock, the level is telling you the order; if a pin looks like a bridge, it probably is one - leave it in.
