Plan the heist. Crack the code. Pick the lock. Shear Line is a game of locks, safes and break-ins. Slip past the guards on a blueprint, work out a safe's code from the notes left on it, sort a lock's pins until every chamber breaks on the line, and then pick it by touch and by ear. THREE GAMES IN ONE VAULT • Inside Job: a heist you play one move at a time. Guards see the node they face, patrols walk their beat, cameras turn every two turns and lasers blink. Reach the vault, and take the diamond for the third star. • Safe Code: every safe comes with notes. A green lamp is a right digit in its place, an amber lamp a right digit in the wrong place. Three digits at first, then four and five, safes that take a digit twice, and safes where one note lies. • Pin Stacks: lift a pin, drop it in another chamber, and get the brass below the line and the steel above it. Later a gummed pin moves once and then sticks. AND THE LOCKS THEMSELVES Hold to lift a pin, listen to it climb, and let go the instant it reaches the shear line. Too early and it drops. Too late and it jams. Spool pins drift, and a dial is cracked by listening. 90 LEVELS, THREE BELTS Nine stripes of ten levels. Each stripe opens with a new idea, has a hard level halfway and ends on a boss. Every thirtieth level earns you a belt: White, Yellow and Orange are in the game today, and more are on the way. SHORT LEVELS, FAIR LEVELS • One thumb, portrait • No energy and no lives, nothing to wait out: a retry is one tap • Every puzzle has a solution, checked before it ships • Three stars a level, a chest every five levels and star chests on top • Stuck? Undo is free, and an X-ray shows the way A NEW SHIFT EVERY NIGHT The Night Shift deals one fresh board every day, the same for everyone: a heist, a safe, a stack of pins or a lock. Keep your streak, clear three daily missions and open the Night chest. THE VAULT RUN An endless chain of doors that only gets harder. Three jams and the run is over. How deep can you go? MAKE IT YOURS Picks, keyways and gloves that your stars unlock, from brass to meteorite, and finishes you can only earn: a keyway for every belt, and a master pick for 90 stars. PLAY IT YOUR WAY • Built for sound and haptics, and playable with the sound off • Short sessions or long nights • Works offline Shear Line is free to play. It shows an ad between some levels (never in your first session and never after a failed attempt), and you can choose to watch an ad for a reward that is named before you watch. Optional in-app purchases include a one-time Remove Ads, which ends the ad breaks and makes every ad reward free. Loot and boosters are for sale, but every level can be opened without spending. ## Is Shear Line safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess Shear Line. ## Is Shear Line legit?
