I really had fun playing this game. It was so unique with the lockpicks and good difficulty curve. I could play this for hours for sure!!

I loved the art and music. Even the fun event in jail is such a nice touch. Well done!!

This could be on for a winner! The core lockpicking mechanic is genius and the progression system is perfect, being able to buy more advanced lockpicks. There's a real sense of mastery to the gameplay. I love that when you get caught, you have to lockpick your way out of jail. Nice touch! Also, each area has a distinct feeling with it's own look and music. Overall, fantastic entry, well done! :)

Thanks for playing, and glad you enjoyed it!  With my limited playtesting with other people I was worried the advanced picks were too hard, so I'm really glad to hear you engaged with them =).

My initial punishment for failing was just a bit of dialog saying they took your loot, but once I had a town level, it seemed breaking your way out of jail was too good to pass up :D

cool interpretation of the theme, and the core lock picking mechanic is an awesome idea! Meets puzzles with “timed” mini games due to the guards, so it still has some tention even when you are inside the small pick window, adding cool tension to the game itself!

Graphics wise the game has a lovely artwork to it, the transition is smoooooth, would love a smidge of animations added, but nothing deal breaking here.

Music and sfx are cool, we have a volume slider/setting, what is not to like here!

Superb job, well done!

The jam just ended and people are just getting started, hopefully more ratings will come later =).  Glad you enjoyed it, and got into the lockpicking!  Glad to see some familiar faces around here too =).
