A solid tiny puzzle game. I think you did a great job of using the limited color palette. It would have been nice to be able to use the 'd-pad' (arrow keys) to move back and fix mistakes within the time limit.
I wasn't expecting to play a lockpicking puzzle game in this jam. Neat concept. In the best way possible, this reminds me of educational PC games from the late 90s/early 00s for pre-k and kindergarteners, in which they had to match shapes and sequences. If you cutesied-up the artwork and took away the timer, that's essentially what you would have. Great job with this.
Nice game, takes a while to finish though. Obviously getting repetitive after a while but would integrate nicely into a bigger game (for instance, a game about running from a wizard). The sounds seem a bit quite, but that's where my volume control excels :P I missed music though.
I didn't really see the secondary theme much in it, but it's a great game nonetheless.
this was challenging, managed to get through all the locks w one heart like a marathon man XD
The simple and small gameplay loop keeps you playing until the end, well done.
Fun and nice graphics! Felt good when I could zip through a challenge quickly
Super cool game, was definitely taking it easy with my first two lives and had to focus up on my last one. Fun gameplay loop that keeps you playing till the end.
Very fun! I made some early mistakes and then got dialed in and finished with around 63000.
Very addictive and the sfx give the good brain tickles. Would play again. And probably again.
