Since the shower's drape is closed, he can sneak past her with ease. The politician's wife is in the shower, singing her heart out. After ascending a wall to reach an open upper floor window, the little thief finds himself in a bathroom. To accomplish this feat, he must sneak into the politician's house. He's going to return the diamond to its rightful owner. In one scenario, a miner unearths a gigantic diamond but before he can sell it and live a care-free life of luxury, a greedy politician steals it away. In Tiny Thief, the player assumes the role of a little man with a horrible haircut who steals objects of desire, not for personal gain, but to aid people in need. Tiny Thief delivers an immensely entertaining experience that best falls into the rarely explored stealth/puzzle genre.

Ever since I read our magazine feature on Double Fine's upcoming title, Broken Age, I've been looking forward to setting off on an adventure in the vein of LucasArts' classics.īen Hanson, Game Informer's video editor and lover of strange things no one else likes, was quick to respond to my question, recommending I take a look at 5 Ants' game, Tiny Thief. A couple of weeks ago I asked my Twitter followers if they had stumbled upon any fun adventure games for iPhone.
