This is definitely a winner in my book and everyone should really go out and get Tiny Thief. Overall, this is a very good game coming from 5 Ants and Rovio. In fact, it’s very hard to put down and I spent hours on it last night trying to 3 star everything and I still haven’t accomplished that yet. Yes, like Angry Birds you can try to get a perfect 3-stars in each level which means you’ll most likely be playing through each multiple times like I did. Each level has bonus side missions of finding hidden objects which allow you to 3-star every level. Like other Rovio games, this isn’t a game where you just shoot through the levels once and never play them again. There is a lot of puzzling involved and it makes the game very fun. When you get further along in the game, you will need to find certain objects that need to be found in order to trigger actions like finding an ax to cut a rope or finding a key to open a door. If you check out the video below, you will get a very good idea of how the game will play.

Depending on what the situation calls for, tapping on items will be context sensitive. For instance, tapping on a ladder will bring up a climb up icon or a climb down icon depending on the situation.

Tapping also engages certain actions if you tap in the right areas. You move your character around by tapping at a point and he will move there. It’s hard to tell in the trailer videos, but the game itself is all tap based. What makes this game really cool though is the gameplay. Character designs are awesome and will appeal to both young and older players and the animations for everything in the game are wonderfully done. I would even say that these level of visuals rival even that of something Nintendo would have created. There is a certain level of cute attached to it with visuals that are very colorful, animated, and whimsical. 5 Ants does a fantastic job with all the graphical elements in the game. Since this is a Rovio published game, you expect some level of greatness from it even if it’s developed by someone else. You’ll need to get creative to avoid detection in this fun and unique puzzler with elements of a hidden objects game. This usually means to avoid being seen by guards or the people you are stealing from and snatch what you need to end each level. The game centers around stealth based puzzles in which you must help the tiny thief accomplish his goals. Tiny Thief is a new puzzle solving adventure game from developer 5 Ants and published by Rovio Stars.
