Known bugs:
- On Firefox (and playing within the Itch.io app), music volume settings won't apply until after you've entered a heist for the first time, or manually reload.
Tips:
- A full playthrough will probably take about a half hour. After you've managed to buy some advanced picks and use them, you will have seen most of the mechanics of the game.
- The advanced lockpicks give much larger bonuses, and are rewarding to master. However, if they're too difficult, you can open any lock with the 2 basic picks (always on the far right of your kit).
- The time limit doesn't start until you've been spotted by a guard, or successfully open a chest.
- More guards spawn from the main entrance (far left) as the time limit advances.
- If you see a guard's light on the mini-view while lockpicking, run, run away!
- Game autosaves whenever you finish a heist, feel free to come back later!

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 tension 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!
