Play Overview
Robbery Bob (2015) is a stealth burglary game where you play an ill-fated robber trying to sneak through different houses to steal valuables. Also known as Bob The Robber and Burgle Buddies, play involves directing Bob safely through houses to steal things and avoid police and residents. It stands out for young players because of the simple hide-and-sneak fun with the added jeopardy of getting caught.
Bob is a burglar intent on changing his ways. Unfortunately for him, however, he's forced into a few final jobs before he can escape the criminal life. Play is viewed from overhead where you can see houses and other buildings. You carefully direct Bob to sneak past security guards, residents and sleeping dogs in his quest for loot. Along the way, you use ninja-like skills to hide in some tight squeezes and avoid detection. You work through levels, from seemingly ordinary neighbourhoods to secret labs and high-rise skyscrapers. The aim each time is to steal everything without getting spotted and then escape.
The result is a simple and fun robbery game that's been popular with young players for many years. It's a test-your-luck game of not getting caught, but finding the right moment to sneak in, grab loot and get out.
