Locke & Pick

Backstory

Syra Locke's Tumbler Charm can see inside any lock. And her pet moth, Pick, can get into the keyhole to click the pins. Together, they must advance through a maze of danger to defeat the demon droids and save Syra's baby brother.

This game was developed in 72 hours for the Winter Melon Jam 2023. 

I wanted to make a first-person shooter controlled with the usual mouse and keyboard, but you unlock doors using your phone.

The idea was a bit too ambitious for such a short jam, haha. But I did get the core gameplay working.

Instructions

• WASD to move, SPACE to jump, SHIFT to crouch
• Left click to shoot
• Ammo count is on your gun ... get more ammo from the gift boxes
• When you encounter a door, scan the QR code to send your pet moth into the keyhole and do his magic on the lock. Pick will need to PRESS AND HOLD the symbols in the order you see on Locke's Tumbler Charm.

Next steps

This is mostly a tech demo at the moment. In the single level, you can explore a map and shoot a few badguys. You can unlock a couple of doors, too.

In the future I hope to finish it! I had an actor do some great voice work that I didn't manage to get into the game. And I started coding a scary boss you can fight at the end. Alas, time ran out.

Thanks for checking it out!
