Fun game! I actually liked it so much that I submitted it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30866681

The map gets a bit hard to read for the 3-emoji rooms, though. Screenshot (spoilers!): https://i.imgur.com/4yDGeN8.png

I also nearly lost because I didn't go back after getting the gold key, but that might be on me, haha.

Thank you :)

Yeah, I didn’t realize at the time that up-to-date emoji support wasn’t universal, even on the latest OS versions. The “extra” emoji are a result of your system not yet supporting some of the symbols used.

I chose emoji more carefully in my next game, a demo of the excellent interactive fiction game Counterfeit Monkey originally by Emily Short:

And a more jokey game of Pac-Man:
