About Keel (Yuki Games)

Keel is one of a set of small free browser games by Yuki Andersen, alongside Ballast, Bearing, Floe and others. It is about your eye for space rather than words or numbers: a full daily gauntlet takes about a minute and needs no account.

The five rounds are Center (tap where a lopsided scatter of dots would balance), Split (drag a vertical line until a blob has equal area on each side), Mirror (tap where a dot lands when reflected in an angled mirror line), Size (resize a circle until it covers the same area as an irregular blob) and Mid (tap the exact halfway point along a winding path). There is no timer; you adjust, then press Lock In.

The daily rounds are seeded by the date, so every player sees the same scatters and shapes, and you get one attempt at each. Each round scores 0 to 100 with partial credit for near misses, and your result is the average, with a five-square trail to share. Afterwards you see how many players ran the gauntlet in the last day and where your score ranks.

A practice mode lets you drill any single skill up a 12-level difficulty ladder, and the game keeps streaks, a seven-day chain, lifetime accuracy per skill and an XP rank, all in your browser. It suits anyone who likes estimation games and wants a quick daily test that works in any language.

Tips

• Center: start from the densest clump, then shift toward far-out dots, which pull harder than they look.
• Split and Size: compare weight, not width; thin tails and spikes add less area than they seem to.
• Mid: curvy stretches hide extra length, so the halfway point moves into the wigglier half.
