Bob The Robber is a stealth-puzzle platformer where the shadows are your greatest ally and timing is everything. As players step into Bob’s quick, quiet footsteps, they must sneak past guards, dodge cameras, outsmart lasers, and collect hidden loot inside multi-layered buildings.
Core Gameplay
At its heart, Bob The Robber is a stealth game. The core mechanics revolve around
- Shadows: Hiding spots that help Bob disappear.
- Patrol patterns: Each guard and camera follows a predictable loop.
- Silent movement: Staying quiet is essential—noise may get you caught.
- Puzzle interaction: Locks, fuse boxes, and robots require timing and precision.
Each room is a mini-puzzle: where to stand, when to move, and how to avoid detection.
Objective
Every level has the same high-level mission
- Infiltrate the building without being detected
- Collect loot, uncover hidden evidence, and disable threats
- Escape safely before the alarm reaches its limit
Controls
- Arrow Keys: Move, climb stairs, and navigate corridors
- Up Arrow: Interact, pick locks, open doors, and hide instantly
- Spacebar: Disable robots when close enough
- Mouse: Used during lock-picking and fuse-box puzzles
These intuitive controls make the game easy to learn but challenging to perfect.
Level Design
Five Levels With Rising Complexity
Bob The Robber features five carefully crafted levels, each one adding more layers to the challenge. Early levels focus on simple movement and guard evasion. Later levels introduce stacked routes, narrow passageways, complex patrol patterns, and multiple hazards working together.
New Hazards
As players progress, they face a variety of new threats
- Security Cameras: Sweep rooms and trigger alarms instantly
- Guard Dogs: More perceptive than humans and harder to evade
- Laser Systems: Require fuse-box puzzles to disable safely
- Smart Guards: Move quickly, react instantly, and can ruin a run with one catch
Each new hazard forces players to rethink their approach and sharpen their timing.
