How to play Lock Rhythm

A timing game where you catch a spinning needle inside a lit target arc. Every 12 locks you pass a level and the needle speeds up. You start with 3 lives.

Tap when the spinning needle meets the target arc. Each lock changes direction and rhythm; land 12 clean hits to open the safe. Every miss costs a life.

Step by step

  1. The needle spins around the safe. While it’s inside the lit arc, press Space, click or tap the Unlock button.
  2. On a good hit, the lock opens, the needle changes direction and a new target arc lights up somewhere else.
  3. Pressing outside the arc costs a life. If the needle passes over the arc without a press, you lose a life too.
  4. When you level up, you get back 1 life you lost. When you run out of lives, the round ends.

Tips

  • Hits near the middle of the arc earn more points. Successful hits in a row also grow your score.
  • With each lock you open, the arc gets a little narrower and the needle a little faster. Spot the new arc before the needle gets there.
  • You hear a short click as the needle enters the arc. If your sound is on, use that click as a cue.
