What If Lockpicking Was A PUZZLE GAME? - I Wanna Lockpick 

I LOVE LOCKPICKING!!!! I LOVE STEALING AND PILFERING AND PILAGING AND THIEVING AND “BORROWING”!!!!!

I hope you enjoy the game! I will note that this game's OST was hand picked from a variety of sources (credited in the Game Info + Credits readme file), so there will likely be parts of the game which trigger a copyright notice. That aside, best of luck on your future lockpicking endeavors!

7:18 To get all the keys, you need 16 keys. You are given 16 keys. This means every key you get must be spent. You can solve it the way you did from there.

16:15 The joke behind 2-8 is that it feels wrong to use 24 pink keys on a 24 pink door and master key a 2 pink door rather than the other way around, but it's the only way to solve the puzzle.

10:44 I love how they mentioned specifically that they can also be called gold keys to stop the pedants from saying "It's not a gold key, it's a master key!"

Oh god. This is vaguely reminiscent of Tyler running through Patrick’s Parabox and trying to explain his actions.

22:40 A comment on multiple blanks in a row - it looks like it's just the level designer having a joke, but it's actually so you can't pass using master keys.

Now I want a game that's a basically a lock picking lawyer simulator

What an interesting take on a 'i wanna be the guy' type game

Never in my life would I have expected you out of all people to play an I Wanna Be The Guy fangame! I've been playing those for years and they're so much fun :)

I hope you enjoy this game and make it a full series! I don't wanna tell any spoilers but there are a lot of great mechanics and gimmicks in this game! You're gonna laugh at some of the mechanics introduced too in the later worlds!

thank you editors for highlighting what Tyler was talking about; while I probably would have been able to follow it regardless that just let me visualize his thought process a lot easier!

The factorial joke in 2-8 got me!

As to that blue key puzzle, you can use the "must spend every key" because you start with 16 keys and use two per blue key.

I have seen countless flash games with the same concept. This one goes way more in depth than any of them ever have, but I was never a fan of these. So while I would never want to play this game myself, even if I don't even want to try and comprehend the solution, it's still enjoyable to watch Tyler explain them .

Fantastic editing on this video to visualize your thoughts as you talk through your solving of the puzzle.

And we're reminded once again how good Tyler is at logic and puzzles.

I find the idea of a door that requires you to not have keys to be funny. Like, oop, my door only unlocks if I chuck my keys across the lawn.

Thank god you're playing this, you're the first person I've seen post a video on it who has the capacity to actually think and observe their current situation...

I like the development of "I lose nothing" logic here. Like, first we see this applied to the whole "spend an X key to get an X key" thing: if you can get to X key without unlocking that particular gate then you may end up with more keys. Then it gets applied to the idea that you should collect as many keys as possible as soon as the no-key gates show up. The introduction of mechanics that break logic that worked in earlier puzzles is a neat way to develop things.

as some one who apprenticed with a locksmith funny enough this games logic feels like lockpicking or "pin prodding" to find the right sequence to open a lock , also as to how a master key works irl is that its got an extra tooth/hight that hits an overseer pin that basically overrides the lock and or allows for the lock assembly to be extracted for maintenance/ repining i know the lingo i picked up isnt totally correct , but regardless id recommend checking out "the lockpicking lawyer"

7:19 You are right that is the logic. You only have 16 keys to start and each path needs 2 keys therefore a correct solution spends every key

Thanks so much for playing this! This is my favorite puzzle game. It has amazing logic with, imo, zero extraneous factors except the long walks from Point A to Point B. Hope you like it!

great editing in this video, made your thought process really clear. thank you

the sound of breaking the locks is top tier satisfying

The spending every key logic does make sense in that Instance because you have 2 non blue keys for every blue key and there is no way to get a blue key without spending 2 keys

Tyler is one of the few people I watch that are actually good at puzzle solving, it's honestly pretty refreshing to watch.

Incredibly happy to see you play this game! Good luck with future puzzles, they are incredibly good but also i've proved many to be impossible, which only the best puzzle games, like baba, can do haha. 1-B does use the "all keys have to be used" logic, it's like a mine counting argument in minesweeper: there are 16 doors you have to open at minimum, and you have 16 keys, so you can't open extra and all keys have to be spent!

Glad to see this game almost immediately gets interesting and evolves the original concept quite well which is hard for a lot of puzzle games

0:06 that enter sound made me have a baba flashback

10:00 - oh man, I mean, there's been some pretty genius puzzles recently. But I don't recall this level of attention for the non options so they'll almost fit but not for a detail. I know it's a characteristic of puzzles, but like "baba is you" was the last time I truly saw attention to this and even so this game is doing it EVERY TIME. Feels like those math tests where the other options in the test are reachable by doing some common mistakes.

Loved the editing! Keep up the great work!🎉

through all of your videos the editing has been increased to lvl 9001 ITS OVER 9000 (great job editors)

Your puzzle content is easily my favorite. Enjoyed seeing you flex your logic muscles.

What a neat game. Love how many awesome and unique puzzle games you show us! Thank you!!

Super appreciate the captions and highlights on screen! It speeds up the comprehension and makes the video a faster and more satisfying pace.

Nice, first icely and now you have picked up this game. Glad my two favorite puzzle game channels have touched this great game

Had a lot of fun (re)playing along. Hope you continue playing it.

I love Iwanna games! Thanks for showing them off!

This game was so cool to watch. Is it on steam? Just saw the description. Damn but at least we can watch you play it.

The difficulty really ramps up in the later game. Glad to see you try it

The editor did insane on this video!

7:21 - maybe some math with combinatorics and linear algebra would work

Wait a goddamn minute, this is an I Wanna Be The game, I know that sprite and that godsdamned jump sound.

for you guys wondering how to do 1-B without assuming spend all keys, count the number of keys you start with; 16. there are 8 branches that force you to spend two so that means you have to spend all keys

We need a full series!

Just wait untill the Lock Picking Lawyer finds this. He will be unbeatable.

Missed the puzzle games so loving this man

Enjoyed this, looking forward to more.

the layout of this game reminds me of an old game that was on my grandmother's pci played at her house as an 8 year old. i dont remember what it was called but it was winter/christmas themed and involved collecting presents? the level select and the graphics for it remind me so much of this game. love it

this is one of an amazing games played by one of an amazing guys with one of an amazing genres

Top notch editing on this one.

Yooo you actually played lockpick! This game takes a bit to pick up the pace, but damn does it have some dastardly puzzles and mechanics later on

I recognize the sing from area 2. Swimming while it rains by lifeforms. Good tune

I'll admit that some of the puzzle games you feature often stump me for so long that the frustration outweighs the fun. (That's my experience with Baba Is You, for example.) This game really hits the sweet spot though!

Finally a puzzle game, thank you much!

i can never escape from i wanna be the guy

wow, I'd love to see more episodes on this game!

Tyler with them good uploads frfr I can’t sleep till i see the daily vid!

7:23 the “must use every key” logic was valid, because you had 12 non-blue keys left on hand, and 6 blue keys left to retrieve, each of which required the use of 2 non-blue keys. You could only obtain all of the blue keys by using every non-blue key in your possession, and therefore every purple key.

YOOOO I loved Icely's series on this, glad to see it here :) This game gets crazy haha

This looks really cool.

As a colorblind person, I have no idea what's going on in this game.

I was not convinced by the thumbnail nor by the title ... But this game look great !I actually want more.

Thanks for the video!

The character and the name of the game is a reference to "I wanna be the guy"

I wanna be the lockpick

I very much want to see the golden master key get replaced with a gun. The true master key for any lock.

Did not think i would ever see an "I Wanna ..." as a puzzle game, that's cool revelation

man I can't imagine how the creator make the level solving it is hard, but making a workable hard puzzle is at least as hard if not way more

inb4 the game starts throwing kamilia corners to you at mach speed

I like how he tries to appease the comments by calling the teal keys blue-green but doesn't question calling the pink key red.

this entire game: i spent the key to get the key

I just wanna say this game's music sounds amazing

I know this comment won’t be seen but I’m mildly colour blind and it makes it difficult to follow which keys open which locks if the editors could increase the saturation just a bit on at least the green and red locks especially it would make following the game so much easier, please like so Tyler sees 👍

oh thisll be a good series

The sound used when you enter a level is the same as sound used in baba is you when you enter a level i think

so this is i wanna be the guy, but a puzzle game. cool.

I feel like everyone is going to point out the Baba is you noises, but you also have the I Wanna Be The Guy jump noise, and that makes me happy :)

Nice little counting and pathing puzzle game

23:48 Oh no it's my number theory class

Here from icely puzzles. You will LOVE the future levels!... Or hate.

I'm so glad you decided to play this game, Tyler!

I hate that I see the thumbnail and immediately think of Limbo

Ok, that sound that happens when you go through the door is totally the level transition from Baba Is You!

Wow, I just started playing this today and now I see your video on it. What are the odds?

I can't believe Tyler is playing an I wanna be the guy fangame (even if it's just a puzzle game)

first world song : Reedz, by Ocularnebula second world song : Swimming While It Rains, by Lifeformed

15:39 "AN GREEDY 24 KEY DOOR"

I love how the game has lockpick in the name but there’s no lockpicking,you just use the keys to open the doors

wow, an I wanna be the guy fangame on your channel. this is a huge step

Quite a nice game, in 1B, you can actually deduct that you need all the key (not cheesing) by comparing the total keys you have vs total keys needed

7:20 given how you had to go through 8 paths of 2 locks each (at a minimum) and had 16 keys to do so (so also the maximum) Yes it was a given by the level, not game-principle, that all keys needed to be used. Working from there was completely justified

The way your brain works is just so impressive 😂

3:10 I would say that is the "Turquoise" hue of blue-green. 7:25 There seem to be only a few basic types of challenges: Reimbursing challenge and forward paying. The main lock is reimbursing type. 2 Purple Keys, to unlock 2 Purple Keys. You can simply crack those the moment you get enough initial Purple keys at no loss for the rest of the level. But to be truly a reimbursing type, there must be no other way to get to said key (that is the rule of spending a key, to get the same color key, with the refinement). Most of the blocks are here are forward paying. You get the key literally in front of them. The challenge is to realize when you need to use the key on the main lock first. Unfortunately that seems to be about the biggest Puzzle I can still follow.

Tyler on 1b the reason using all the purple keys is forced was because you had exactly 16 keys and 16 locks to break

as a colorblind person, this was incredibly confusing. still enjoyed it, that's the power of tyler.

This game seems pretty interesting, love me a good mind bender.

oh man are you in for something, this game gets DEEEEEP

I love this game! Also, when are you going to finish Baba Is You new adventures?
