The Locksmith

For better experience, play in FULLSCREEN and with HEADSETS.

About:

You are the one and only Locksmith in town. Only you can find the lock that matches with the key. But be careful, a wrong lock will burn you up.

Help Notes:

• Match the key color with the lock color. Also you need to face correctly towards the lock to unlock it.
• Burn other color locks in the furnace by jumping. When you jump, the furnace door opens and the locks will fall in the furnace and burn. You can also double jump to keep the furnace door open for long.
• As the game will progress, you will see new colors getting added in the game. Also, the speed of the locks will increase.
• If you hit a wrong lock or even a correct lock but in a wrong direction, the furnace door will open and you will be burnt in the fire.
• Some colors are very close to each other, for example, light green and dark green. So be careful while matching them.
• Regarding points,
  • A correct match gives you 50 points
  • If you burn a wrong color lock you get 10 points
  • If you burn a correct color lock you lose 100 points
• Below is a reference list to compare your high-score:
  • Below 500 - You can do better!
  • Between 500 and 1500 - Good
  • Between 1500 and 3000 - Excellent
    
  • Between 3000 and 5000 - Brilliant
    
  • Above 5000 - You are a PRO!

Controls:

• A or Left Arrow Key - look left
• D or Right Arrow Key - look right
  
• W or Up Arrow Key or Space - jump/double jump
  
• Enter Key  - to start
• Esc Key - to go back/quit

Jams & Themes:

• Trijam #286 (Forced to make a move):
  • As the locks will move towards you, you will be forced to make a move ie. either jump/not jump and/or move left/right.
• Swap Jam #4 (Key):
  • The entire game is based on keys and locks. You need to find the correct lock to insert the key.
• MixJam 16:
  • Make a game using 3 prompts generated by MixJam Generator. My prompts were:
    • Online - The game can be played online
    • Singleplayer - The game is a single player game
    • Hi Score - The main screen of the game will show the Hi Score

Why Multiple Jams?

You might ask why I participate and submit games in multiple jams at a time. The reason is, it gives more exposure to my games and also makes it more challenging for me to develop a game based on multiple Jam themes and rules.
