About

TickLock

Features
Read full description

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.
