For a century, they ruled with an iron hand and a stone heart.

Your mission, Thumbs (Intergalactic Safecracker Extraordinaire), is to retrieve the treasures they hid in special safes.

Get all the blue buttons to the correct locations and you open the safes, retrieve the treasures, save the universe and your true love. Allow one of the red buttons to touch a target and *KABOOM*!

I hope that you enjoy playing this game. It was a lot of fun to make.

Thumbs was an original idea. I was thinking about the swipe behaviour on the iPhone and how neat it would be to design a lock like there is on briefcases. You know the ones I mean: there's four dials with numbers on them, and you spin them around. When you get the four number combination correct, the briefcase opens.

And, wouldn't it be super cool if you could not only spin these dials up and down but also side to side? And wouldn't the coolness factor just double if there were, like, explosions? Thus was born the idea for Thumbs.

It has taken me an entire year to develop this game, from inception to being published.

Have fun with Thumbs. I hope you like it.
