The last lock was difficult, but hey nice and cozy game, really liked the music and the lock picking part. It confused me at the start only being able to lock down one, but in the end it was a nice mechanic.

Despite its unexpected twists, the game has simple and easy-to-understand rules. It was really fun!
The lock mechanic was very unique. Most of them were pretty easy (I could just hold up+right), except for the last one, where I actually needed to use the "ctrl" button.
Music was good too, but the graphics could use some work (it's a game jam though, so completely understandable).
Good job!
Great game... why couldn't the bat fly though? >.<
nice game
I enjoyed playing this game. Good job!
So happy to indulge in my childhood love of picking games. I enjoyed the platforming part, but doing it twice each time was a bit cumbersome. Iwas glad to be able to play a cozy burglar game :p PS: I liked how you could insta jump when reaching a platform with the jump key pressed!
This game is so sweet and endearing! I love the goofy MSPaint art style and the lockpicking mini game is done really well! The music has such a lovely chill vibe too! I'd love to see more of this!
Nice game! I think you can make the locking mechanism more difficult because I managed to do all the puzzles without using the "ctrl" key.
Cool game ! The lock picking mini game is fun and I really enjoyed the music. Good job :slight_smile:
I really liked this game and think the lock picking mechanic was really interesting, especially for something done as part of a game jam. I could see it being a good starting pointing for some more complex puzzles with some extra mechanics. I did actually find the last one quite tough! Overall a nice, fun, chill game with a really cool mechanic. Nice job.
I loved the lock picking and ways to find how to do it, I think it was very compelling and cool, I also went for a similar art style but less good imo. Still cute artstyle and great concept, I was surprised about the amount of "levels" and locks you made in such little time
My KPIs were on point playing this game!
The locks were a it frustrating in how sluggish the pick handles, I did manage to get them all in the end more by raking over the pins rather than picking. I like chill music and the big grins on the customers once you give them their items.
The lock picking was both fun and challenging (a rarity for lock picking minigames). Nice music and fun concept!
