Robbery Bob pits your wits and stealth against the Boys in Blue.

Think you’ve got a bright future as a wanted criminal? Well, how do you know unless you try? No, no, don’t worry: you won’t have to turn your back on your ideals or your family. Instead, you just need to keep an eye out for Chillingo’s Robbery Bob, a stealth action game that’s coming to iOS.

Robbery Bob

Robbery Bob is the story of Bob, a slithery criminal who needs stacks of loot to pay off his debt. The game goes with a classic cops-and-robbers theme that will remind you of your childhood games in more ways than one. The title’s top-down graphics grant you an eagle’s-eye view of the action, so all you need to do is help Bob sneak from room to room as he gathers the good stuff. Easy-peasy, right?

Well, THE MAN isn’t just going to sit back and let you get away with it, unfortunately. There are cops, traps, and guard dogs at every turn, so you have to sharpen your wits and use the terrain to your advantage if you want to collect the goods without landing in the hoosegow. Luckily, there are also lots of power-ups on hand, which helps mix up the action. Here, doggie doggie. Want a pork chop or a biscuit? It’s your choice!

There’s no release date set for Robbery Bob just yet, but stay with Gamezebo for more information on—cheese it, it’s the cops!
