What is Safu?

Safu is a safe-cracking roguelike for Playdate where the crank is the safe dial. Turn slowly, listen for the click, pull the handle.

Rob a whole 8-floor bank on one shared clock. Every third safe is a boss that bends the rules, every boss hands you a perk, and once the vault is open the run keeps going in endless mode. Lupin mode swaps every perk for a cursed one, and a seasonal leaderboard tracks the best heists.

How to play

  1. Turn the crank

    The crank is the dial. One turn of the crank is one turn of the knob, with a tick on every detent.

  2. Listen for the click

    A loud K-CHIK! and a shake mean a sweet spot. Reverse direction and hunt for the next one.

  3. Go steady

    Turn too fast and the tumblers fall back. Turn too slowly and the clock runs out.

  4. Pull the handle

    Find all three spots, then press Down to open. Pull too early and you start over.

  5. Beat the bosses

    Every third safe is a boss that bends the rules. Beat it, then pick 1 of 3 perks.

  6. Crack the vault

    Clear 8 floors on one 3:00 clock. Every crack buys back time, and the vault opens into endless mode.

Safu gameplay: the crank turns the dial, three sweet spots click, and the handle opens the safe.
