Ratings and reviews

Really cool game for lockpicking enthusiasts, I've recently gotten into the hobby so I'm glad to have this to kill time when I can't do the real thing. The info and methodology is actually pretty solid, sure there are a lot more kinds of locks, pins and tools irl but the ones presented are the more common ones. I haven't gotten to the challenges as of yet, but the ability to see through the lock robs a lot of the fun from the process and the controls are very sluggish, but overall a nice game.

It's a pretty good trainer, but I find the controls maddening. You try to move it from pin to pin and it's so slow, then it won't move to certain pins even when going under all the pins. It does help to visualize binding pins, the binding order, the importance of varying tension and I like the variation of security pins, but the controls man. The controller is killing me.

I'm just starting to explore lockpicking and this was a very useful guide. The time limits offer a fun challenge and the difficulty progression is good. I just wish the pick was easier to control and rotate. The joystick kind of makes it glide, which makes it annoying to position the pick, especially in the non-see-through levels.
