I don't understand how to play, I seem to lose right after I get the key every time..

If it's the second frame of the three-panel strip, then, as another commenter hints, the trick is not to double back. You must complete a circuit around the map. I got frustrated and quit long before trying this until reading that comment, but it (arguably) pays off.

It's the first frame, I read the comments and still I don't understand. The game is too stressful for me, I give up haha

I don't play video games at all so playing a game where I have to figure out the goal. Ugh.
