Each level takes place on a static, unmovable screen. You tap anywhere on the screen to move where you want to go, and a button appears as you pass certain objects, signaling you to tap your Android screen to interact with the object. These simple controls make for an intuitive playing experience as you guide your small swindler stealthily through the objectives of each level, which stay pretty consistent: distract the guards, sneak past them, and steal up to three items. Each stolen item (or each time you recover your ferret companion) grants you another star. Like the perennial mobile favorite Angry Birds, you can earn up to three stars in each level.ĥ Ants does a great job of varying the difficulty required to solve each puzzle in Tiny Thief, but like many point-and-click adventures, you’re often able to complete a level using the brute-force method of tapping random objects all over the screen. It’s not the most efficient way, and it’s akin to the Wii Remote cheats posted all over YouTube. Sure, you can trick the sensors into thinking you’re actually doing yoga while you’re sitting on the couch, but that’s kind of missing the point. The game is easy to pick up and play for any level of gamer, but you’ll have a different experience, depending on your level of patience.
The short levels make each level feel like an isolated episode or skit. Quite often, your interactions with objects you’re not meant to interact with (quite yet, at least) are accompanied by humorous animations – I grew particularly fond of half mounting a horse before repeatedly getting kicked back by the animal. Sneaking around, hiding in barrels, and crawling through pipes is fun, but the pace of the game is very slow. If you’re looking for a fast-paced, nail-biting adventure, this isn’t it.
