Unshakable in its mission to make you laugh, Tiny Thief’s tireless sense of joy makes it the perfect fit for audiences of all ages. After months of grim titles in the vein of The Last of Us, this buoyant iOS/Android puzzler isn’t a breath of fresh air it’s a welcome, rewarding pick-me-up instead. You often feel like it would be impossible to fail, for example, given that the solution can usually be arrived at quickly enough by blindly messing on with everything in your path.īe that as it may, however, these failings don’t manage to hide just how delightfully cute Tiny Thief can be. Most conundrums can be solved through simple, mindless fiddling, and the lack of any logical planning undermines what is otherwise an enjoyable experience. Even if some levels are a little too hard considering what’s come before (though you can consult the notably free hint book when stuck), a bigger flaw might be found in the criticism that it’s all a touch easy.

You might lure said sheriff away with sweets until he falls into a barrel, for instance. Each stage presents a seemingly straightforward problem for players to solve – be it stealing the queen’s perfume, saving a cat from an evil sorcerer or filching the sheriff’s piggy-bank – but the trick is in utilising myriad items scattered about the level in order to make that possible. Cheerfully so, at that.Īs the second Rovio Stars project (established to uncover hot new development talent), Tiny Thief is something of a curio when taken alongside other App Store/Android games. It’s a cheesy line, but one of the most precious things that Tiny Thief steals is your heart.Īn eye-catching blend of quasi-point-and-click adventuring and Where’s Wally, it’s all too easy to be caught off guard by this charming (if unusual) game that refuses to stick with tradition.
