action game that\u2019s like a cross between the sliding block puzzles from Zelda dungeons, mixed with the parts of Zelda games where you have to sneak past guards.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on all current consoles, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n<p>Your thief can zip quickly up, down, left, or right, but he won\u2019t stop until he hits a wall or a tile on the floor that has a footprint on it.\u00a0 You must use your limited move set to figure out how to get all the coins in a room and open the exit to the next level.\u00a0 But all the while, the police are patrolling the area.\u00a0 You can see their path and their line of sight, and if you get caught by them, you must start the level over again.<\/p>\n<p>The game features minimalistic graphics, but I did like the jazzy music.\u00a0 It starts out pretty easy, but gets difficult very quickly, after level 10 or so.\u00a0 Aside from that, my only other problem was that the line of sight for the police seems to extend farther than what you think, and they can even catch you if you zip behind them close enough.\u00a0 So it\u2019s a bit misleading.<\/p>\n<p><a
