Description

Cop & Thief is a clean, bite-sized puzzle game about cornering a clever thief on a grid. Every cop move counts — plan your route, cut off the exits, and trap the thief before they slip away. 100 stages across 8 themed packs, from gentle warm-ups to brain-bending duo chases.

Age Suitability: Everyone 13+ — non-violent, family-friendly puzzle gameplay with no objectionable content.

In-App Purchases: Fully playable for free. Optional Kreds packs (5 Kreds / 20 Kreds) are available in the Shop to purchase additional hints. Hints can also be earned in-game by clearing stages and exchanging coins (100 coins → 1 hint).

Privacy & Terms: https://sublevelgames.github.io/terms_of_service/

AI Disclosure: AI tools were used to assist with code generation during development. All visual, audio, and font assets included in the game are properly licensed for commercial use and distribution.

How to Play

How to Play
- Move a cop each turn by tapping it, then tapping where to go.
- The thief moves right after you — automatically, always toward an exit.
- You win when every thief is trapped with no way to escape.
- Walls block movement. Exits are the thief’s goal — don’t let them reach one.
- Stuck? Use a hint to see the best move.

Controls
- Tap a cop to select it. Valid destinations will light up.
- Tap a highlighted square to move the selected cop there.
- Tap the same cop again to deselect and pick a different one.
- Hint button — preview the next optimal move. Get hints from the Shop (coins or Kreds).
- Reset button — restart the current puzzle from the beginning.
- Back button — return to the stage or pack selection screen.

This could be a good game - if you spent more time creating good levels. They current levels appear to be random and/or AI generated and are too easy. Spend the time to make good levels.

Nice proof of concept - but up the difficulty.
