Lockpicks-11
Originally made in 72h for Ludum Dare 57 with the theme "Depths"(although we were thoroughly inspired by the controversial contender "doors"), with everything from sfx, music, art, and programming, all recorded, edited, drawn, and/or typed by our two-person team.
You've been thrown into the depths of a heist.
Help our thief prove they're not out of their depth when it comes to lockpicking their way to freedom. To what length will our burglar go to nab a precious prize from the depths of the treasure vaults? How many doors deep did they land themselves this time? Did our pilferer even consider the depth of trouble they'd be in if caught in the act? All qualms aside, I guess they're knee-deep in it now!
Puzzle your way through the collection of lockpicking minigames that stand between you and a heist well done.
If you're out of your depth, here's a puzzle guide. It contains spoilers, you've been warned.

A great puzzle game but... i didn't really understand rockpile that much
Nice and a very niche concept
Cool game and add more to this

Very cool game, I wish there was more of it. I'd pay money for an expanded version with some meta-puzzle/"metroidbrainia" elements, like learning secret codes you can enter into certain doors to unlock more doors or otherwise manipulate the game. It would give this game some depth that would quickly make it my next obsession ;)
It's very well done as is, though, great job!
Hey Dear Gaming Mates, there is 99% off on the Game For Elites, the most expensive game.
It’s a great opportunity to join elites and compete with Billionaires for only 100$

Ideia fantastica e muito bem feito.
A delightfully satisfying little game. I do like the variety of different door puzzles and the art (both visual and auditory) style!
This rocked. No fluff, just amazing execution.
cool idea, i am invested now lol
quite cool and awesome look
Fun short little game! I was able to figure out all the locks without hints so I think the premise of each one is pretty understandable.
I guess all my time wasted on sudoku while in class paid off! Completed all doors! super cool :D
Unlocked all the doors!!!! Super sattisfying af! <3
This is so cute. I really enjoyed collecting all the doors! Sudoku is difficult ;-;
good =D
This game is really fun, but you should get more time for solving the puzzles, other than that, it's really cool.
Suggestions:
Very nice game!
Two hardest puzzles:
Phone riddle and combination lock (until you notice the fingerprints)
really cool!
feedback: the door made of stone runes needs less time to crake
love it
good puzzles
I love the limited color palette!
i love the wordle-adjacent door
HELLO! I am looking for games to feature on the front page of my upcoming video game website! If you are interested, you will be given full credit. please dm colegurthy on Discord if you would be willing to
This is brilliant, every lock is such a clever challenge! If you love games that test your brain and your patience, check out my impossible troll game called LOSR. Let's see if you can break through my traps: itch.io https://gameprompt.itch.io/losr
I like the game BUT I WISH there was no time limit by being chased. Like I just wanna chill and do ts for fun
Half agree with this. There should be a mode without time limits that you unlock after finishing the game once.
It's fun to figure some of them out under time pressure, but I spent a bunch of runs just trying to get the mastermind (last one I didn't clear). Would have been nicer to be able to try without the pressure for sure.
Exactly. I would find it nice if the lode was unlocked straight away, since why not? Plus I‘m sick rn, so it would have been really nice to play this game in a chill way
What an impressing little nice puzzle game very nice
Genuinely so impressed by the puzzle designs, how easy they are to understand within the time limit but also just challenging enough to be a fun experience.
this is SUCH a cute little game, the music, the puzzles (fishing door my beloathed ;A;) love what y'all do <3
fun!
It has lots of replayability and unique puzzles with random variation.
I love it!
A little gameplay, a little critique ;)
Gooooddd
not bad not bad
Guide to each type of lock if anybody is really stuck (I would recommend trying to solve them yourself first):
Music note door: Plays a pattern, visual cues as well, repeat the pattern
Wooden door, bronze lock: click on tiles to reveal them, find pairs of icons
Electronic: Look for fingerprints, code is only the numbers with fingerprints on, there are two of the number where the fingerprint is smudged
Rotation lock: Buttons rotate each loop, make it so the symbols on the left are adjacent then click enter
Wooden door, stone archway, visible hinges: sticky note gives hint to four letter word, each letter links to number on phone, enter that code and hit enter
Metal Gate: It says what to do in the thing, basically just click all things which the category above applys to
Fishing door: Click buttons to raise region, keep ball in region for long enough, don't have to worry about decreasing
Bomb on door: Basically just wordle, orange is not in word, yellow in word but wrong place, green is right please
Fully rock with symbols: Each rock moves bar along a certain amount, click multiple to get it to the line
Wooden door, stone archway, can't see hinges: each button moves player in speciic direction, but is randomised, collect all diamonds
Wooden door, no specific features: Sudoku, no numbers same column, row or box
Police Car: Randomised one of any of them above
how do I do the cop car?
I beleve the cop car is a random lock
Oh yea cool
