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.

this is a really good and accurate game but it's a bit stiff. I also really like how there are no ads only if you have a skill issue and can't get 3 stars. One major issue is that on my device I don't get haptic feedback which makes some of the later locks really hard and you're basically blind the whole time without it.

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.
