Source catalog Release Keys of the Cays APWorld v0.0.10.0.1

The 30 network checks comprise 25 island clears and five seeded key locations. Five Key items are placed locally; only the 25 non-key rewards enter the shuffled pool. The release defines two additional progression item names that its item-pool function does not use.

Actions and milestones that can send a check to your multiworld.

30 locationsDefault marks checks from configurations selected by standard options; the generated set can still vary with logic and seed.

Playing with others

One treasure-hunting game per Archipelago slot, sharing items with live or asynchronous multiworld participants. This listing does not claim shared-island co-op, offline progression or durable browser-save recovery.

Known scope and limitations

  • This is a browser game designed for Archipelago, not a mod for another commercial title. The public APWorld is 0.0.1, with Archipelago 0.6.7 as its declared minimum. The browser game is hosted separately and does not have a matching downloadable version tag in the reviewed repository.
  • The generator installs keysofthecays.apworld, creates a player YAML and generates the room. Players open the author's itch.io game, select Connect to Archipelago and enter the host, port and exact slot. The author documents archipelago.gg hosting; solo play still needs an Archipelago room.
  • No offline standalone mode is advertised yet. Asynchronous means returning to a hosted room at different times, not a guarantee of disconnected check delivery. Browser save durability, cross-device recovery and all browser/server combinations have not been independently established here.
  • Restarting an island changes its buried treasure layout. The author reports fixes for temporary disconnects, keys after server-collected checks and goal reporting in the July browser updates. Those are maintainer reports, not Panludia runtime test results.
  • Use the itch.io instructions rather than the APWorld's placeholder documentation. This first public world retains unused tutorial code and tests; their presence is not evidence that the listed game features were tested or that extra mechanics work.
  • Panludia verified the published APWorld's bytes, manifest, item pool, regions and rules, and reviewed the author's public game description and setup. The separately hosted game code and a complete connected playthrough were not inspected or executed. This is a documented listing, not a security certification.

This integration is maintained independently of Panludia. Downloads are provided by its maintainer. Contact the maintainer through the linked repository or support channels.
