BECOME THE MASTER (mini) THIEF!

Can you escape with the loot? Play as the Master Thief and steal as much as you can. Burgle houses in order to obtain some sweet, sweet loot but, be careful not to be caught!.

Your objective is simple, search the area for items which are exchangeable for money. Each level you pass will increase in difficulty. The more difficult the level is the more loot you will obtain.

Avoid the owner at all costs! If he catches you, well, you lose everything! including your money!


Bigger, Better and Harder Levels! + Possible Online Multiplayer!

The more support we have for Mini Thief the more we can make this a great game by expanding the development to push further goals.We have ideas for possible multiplayer modes which friends can challenge each other(excludes android and ios).


Use the sprites and tilesets!

If you are interested in using sprites and tilesets like the ones you see in Mini Thief then this sprites asset pack may be what your looking for. These 16x16 sprites and tiles were used in most of my games and I am releasing them on here for everyone to use.

Check out the page too I make personal custom characters too!

Can i test the game in a viedeo for free

Hi,

on the itch.io store page it states that this game is not available for Linux but you said it was ported to Ubuntu already and there is a SteamOS version available at Steam. I would prefer to buy this game on itch.io rather than another store. So will the Linux version be available on itch.io too? You would make at least one little penguin happy if you do ;)

Greetings,

Nishazzar

Hey thanks for your post! We can take care of that soon for you hopefully if things work out as planned. We can have a look at possibly putting in the next update.

Awesome! *readying my wallet to throw money at you*

will this be coming to mac?

Sorry about the lateness of my response but weare looking into it at the moment we have ported a version to Ubuntu so it shouldnt belong before mac porting

Interesting gameplay mixed with tense moments - becomes frustrating at times, but only in the "trial-and-error-this-is-a-roguelike-suck-it-up" kinda way. Very satisfying to figure out the patterns and get away with all the loot ;)

Great video! Just a heads up, we have updated quite a bit to include more tools, more NPCs, more AI behaviors, and Local Co-op.

Hey! Thanks for watching and thanks for the heads up! I'll definitely check it out! :D

Hello.

I bought the game today.

Meanwhile it's available in early access on steam i cannot download it from here.

I wonder why.

Sorry. I just should have been a little more patient. :)

Hey no problem sorry about the delay

(+1)

So, mind telling us when the game will be downloadable?

(1 edit) (+1)

We apologize about the delay and we are actually waiting on steam so we can release the full game on both sites at the same time. Steam are having problems which is preventing the early access game to be uploaded.


We apologize again and thank all of you for your patience.

Gotcha. Thank you for the quick reply and for clearing it up.

Not a problem. :-)
