Detailed Game Introduction

Pick a Lock is a minimalist rhythm‑timing game: a dial sweeps around a lock, and you must tap exactly when it passes highlighted markers. Later locks add multiple markers, tighter windows, and reversed sweeps, rewarding calm focus.

Gameplay Strategy & Walkthrough

1. Count rhythm: Lock into the dial’s beat; tap on the beat rather than by eye alone.
2. Peripheral vision: Watch the next marker while tapping the current.
3. Noise control: Mute distractions and keep a steady posture for precision.
4. Recovery: If you miss, reset your cadence before the next marker.
5. Late‑tap bias: Slightly late taps are safer than early in many builds.

Controls Guide

• Tap/click when the dial overlaps markers; some variants support key presses.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: I’m always early — fix?

  A: Add a tiny delay to your internal count; try “one‑and‑tap” instead of “one‑tap.”

• Q: Markers stack fast.

  A: Focus on the next one only; don’t mentally hold more than one future target.

• Q: Does FPS matter?

  A: Stable framerate helps; close other apps if timing feels inconsistent.
