How to get past lock seven
Watch the zone, not the pointer. Your eye cannot track something moving that fast. Fix your eyes on the gold and tap as the pointer sweeps in.
Tap early. Your finger takes about a fifth of a second to act on what you saw. On the fast locks, tap just before the pointer reaches the gold.
Expect the reverse. The dial changes direction after every lock. Take one full turn to read the new direction before you commit.
Use the rhythm. Each lock has a steady speed. Count one lap, then tap on the beat of the second.
Questions
How does the game get harder?
Each lock spins about 26 degrees per second faster than the one before and its gold zone is six degrees narrower. Lock one is 72 degrees wide. Lock ten is 18.
Is there a way to save my progress?
Your best run is saved in this browser. There are no accounts and nothing is sent anywhere.
Can I play with a keyboard?
Yes. Press the space bar to start and to stop the dial.
