Tiny Thief 2013

Is it still worth playing?

A stealth puzzle game developed by 5ants and published by Rovio Stars in 2013, first for mobile devices. You tap the screen to move a weaponless thief through scenes full of guards and bystanders, stealing items while avoiding being seen. You cannot act while someone is looking at you, so you wait until they turn around, and the solutions to the puzzles are often funny, such as unleashing a bear on a hapless circus performer or getting the better of greedy politicians. Each level scores you with a three star system for the items you collect and the hidden extras you find. The levels are short and cleverly built, which still makes it suited to a few minutes of play at a time.
