TURN. HIDE. CRACK IT.

Safe Cracker is a 1-bit stealth puzzle game made for Playdate.

Turn the crank to find the correct angle and open three locks before the 30-second timer expires. Listen carefully. When the footsteps draw near, stop turning and hide. One careless movement under the searchlight can end the entire job.

Turn the dial. Read the warning. Know when to hide.
