A puzzle game for the ZX Spectrum
You are a notorious burglar, pickpocket and safecracker. You have just left prison and you are looking for a job. A job that would involve using your skills, of course :)
After some search you have eventually found something worth your effort. A well known bank is holding a highly valuable deposit of cash and gold bullion in a big, steel safe.
Nobody has ever broken into that kind of safe and its manufacturers claim it to be impenetrable.
Show them that they are wrong!
You need to crack the safe's protections and break into it.
The safe is protected by three independent mechanisms:
Lose too much time while cracking each of the mechanisms and they will catch you! Beating each puzzle must be done in a limited number of moves.
At any time you can press X to quit the game and return to the menu screen.
There are six levers on the safe door.
Each lever has a knob of different colour.
Levers must be set in the correct position. The position is known to you as you "borrowed" some notes from a drunk bank employee in a pub.
Use action key to change your chosen lever and direction keys to move it.
Plan your movements wisely as there is a limited space to replace the levers' positions.
There are five reels and five buttons beneath them. Pressing buttons makes the reels rotate.
Reels depict different symbols. You know from your notes that five symbols of the sun must be set to unlock the mechanism.
Use left and right to switch between buttons and action key to press buttons.
As you were unable to obtain the safe key, you must use your lockpicks on the safe's lock.
You have two lockpicks. Use the action key to swap the lockpicks and direction keys to move the currently chosen lockpick.
There are some pins inside the lock. You can push top pins up and bottom pins down with your lockpicks if other pins don't block your way.
Pushing a pin triggers another pin to move. If any of your lockpicks is in the way of the pin, it needs to be taken back to avoid being broken.
However, if your first lockpick pushes some pin and the triggered pin is blocked by your second lockpick in its topmost or bottommost position, the triggered pin will get stuck in its topmost or bottommost position.
The stuck pin won't move if you take back the lockpick which blocks it.
You can "free" the stuck pins by pushing them up or down appropriately.
There are two types of pins - normal pins and master pins. Normal pins and master pins look different.
There are only 3 master pins in the lock, each of a different colour. Pushing a master pin will trigger all pins of the same colour as the master pin. They will move and get stuck in their topmost and bottommost positions.
To crack the lock you must make all the pins become stuck.
Crack all the protections and the safe contents will be yours!
