TickLock

TickLock is a tactile puzzle about a brass padlock, a chain of enamel rings and the clips that hold them together. Every turn clicks into place like a dial, and every solved level ends with the padlock snapping open. HOW TO PLAY ⢠Rings hang from the padlock, linked by clips. ⢠Turn a ring until its gap sits on a clip, then let go: the clip springs open. ⢠A ring with no clips left drops away. Drop every ring and the padlock opens. ⢠Geared rings turn together, in opposite directions. ⢠Bolted steel rings can't be grabbed. Turn them through the rings they're geared to. ⢠Each 15° click costs one tick, and every level has a tick budget. Hard levels leave little room, so think before you turn. MADE TO FEEL GOOD ⢠Detents that hold, then snap to the next notch, with layered haptics on iPhone. ⢠3D mechanical-keyboard keycaps that tilt toward your finger, bottom out and spring back. ⢠Every sound is synthesized: ticks, gear chatter, clip snaps and the final unlock. ⢠Most iPads have no haptic engine, so on iPad the sound and visual detents carry the feel. 60 LEVELS, ALL SOLVABLE ⢠Every level is verified solvable by a solver. ⢠Each level has a par: the fewest ticks the solver found. Can you open the lock at par? ⢠Undo any move, hold Restart to start over, and ask for a hint when you're stuck. ADS AND REMOVE ADS TickLock is free to play and supported by ads. ⢠Occasional full-screen ads: after every few cleared levels and after a long run of undos, with a cooldown in between. ⢠Rewarded ads are always your choice: watch one for another hint (the first hint in each level is free) or for +10 ticks when you run out. ⢠A one-time Remove Ads purchase turns off full-screen ads. Rewarded ads stay available as an optional bonus. ⢠Already bought it? Tap Restore in Settings. ALSO ⢠English and Korean ⢠iPhone and iPad, with a layout made for iPad ⢠No account and no sign-in. Progress and settings stay on your device. ⢠Plays offline. Ads need an internet connection.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hoop Loop at none against TickLock's 1. Hoop Loop also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
