unlabelledView post →A simple pixel-art indie game where you play as a thief and must cleverly avoid guards and traps to rob houses and escape with the loot ✅The stealth system, as the name suggests, is the game's biggest advantage. We sneak around and feel pressure from enemies who can see us, but that's not enough to give this game a positive review ✅Good sound system that can inform us that danger is approaching ✅Simple gameplay, a game for everyone ✅Option to purchase upgrades ✅Option to create maps with…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mini Thief is a small game about stealing as much as you can and not getting caught, and it’s free to keep on Steam for a limited time! And yes, it runs on #SteamDeck: steamdeckhq.com/news/get-min...

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →🎯 Rating: 7/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐☆☆☆ 📜 Overview Mini Thief is a fun, casual stealth game where players take on the role of a nimble thief attempting to steal treasures from various locations while avoiding guards and security systems. The game offers simple mechanics, focusing on stealth, timing, and puzzle-solving. As you progress through different levels, the challenge increases, requiring careful planning and quick reactions. The game's minimalist design and engaging gameplay loop make it an…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not good. It has potential, but it's just a very average game that is riddled with so many game breaking bugs. I had to launch the game over 20 times in the first hour of playing because of softlocks/bugs.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's something so wrong with this game when I try to play it. I am baffled that it has any positive reviews at all! Problems started right off the bat when I played the tutorial. It introduced trip wires but no tool to cut them? Then the tutorial told me when I walked over a "signpost" that I should close doors behind me. So while standing in the room I closed the door, which bounced me to the outside and permanently locked me out. The rest of the tutorial signposts were in there, so I had…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Compared to other games I've played, Mini Thief is a peculiar one. I initially experienced crashes and control problems, but eventually it got easier to handle. It felt like a one-and-done experience until I discovered I was simply playing the same level over and over again. I received the game for free that's the only reason i played it ...to be honest as long as this game is free you could try it for a little fun however i don't recommend buying this game at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was given away free in January 2025. If you got this free, it's mildly interesting for a few minutes. But I can't recommend paying for it. It feels like it's made with RPG Maker and has about as much depth as old flash games. The idea is solid enough, sneak from room to room and steal stuff. But it's very short and full of bugs and the enemy pathing is poorly done for a stealth game. It's not even worth going into detail beyond that.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is honsestly one of the worst games I have ever played. I had high hopes for this game but it genuinly feels like its 2 years from being finished. Story mode is the only gamemode that works properly but even there its terrible with lack of creativity and just terrible experience when playing overall. TERRIBLE GAME DO NOT RECOMMEND EVEN FOR FREE!!!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →unplayable buggy mess enemies getting stuck blocking progress in a level, whcih together with the forced-wipe and forced-replay of previos levels to gain money to rebuy all the mandatory items, make horrible experience
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wouldn't even play this game for free.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Snuck in for a toaster, left with the Mona Lisa and a pet goldfish. Guards ran in circles, I moonwalked out. Spent loot on a bigger bag, repeat. Real life feels nerfed now. 10/10 would burglarize again.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice little game with multiplayer
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short, smart, and super fun. It's like sneaking around in a cartoon — puzzles are clever, and it doesn’t overstay its welcome. A hidden gem
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s a minimalist 2D top down stealth game where you rob houses while dodging owner AI it’s a simple low stakes time killer that’s fun for a few minutes though the repetitive levels and buggy MS Paint style graphics make it feel like a student's first coding project. Its still a good game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It doesn't even work, terrible quality menu, controls for the menu are inconsistent. Although the music actually BANGS. might be issues on my side, tried all gamemodes to play with a friend and it didn't show any signs of working.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →City back 3 is literally impossible to complete. It includes a STUPID dog that ends every single run, a ridiculous amount of tripwires, THREE CAMERAS THAT MAKE YOU UNCOMFTARBLE and the frequency of when a third guard comes. FIX THIS STUPID LEVEL, DEVS!!!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mini Thief is a tiny stealth game that feels like someone took old-school burglary gameplay and turned it into a fast, casual indie experience. The idea is simple - sneak into houses, steal everything that isn’t nailed down, avoid getting caught, and escape before the owner finds you. It’s straightforward, easy to understand, and surprisingly fun in short sessions. What makes the game enjoyable is the constant tension once the homeowner starts patrolling the area. Early on you’re casually…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You like stealth game? Play this game! You like Metal Gear (MSX)? Play this game! There's no combat/ no way to knock down NPC but you can lure them with trap. It's short game but i had fun with this game 7/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I went into the game expecting an easy 100 percent but the game really surprised me.The level design gets harder and tends to make us think on how to approach that level.The prison level was the one i found most challenging. Overall it was a fun ride to finish up this game although it took me around 14 hrs. Not everyone's cup of tea but no harm in giving the game a chance.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pretty fun ngl dont expect nothing god tier good but expect something that you can relax to
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DIDN'T TRY WORKSHOP OR ONLINE MODES The game has three difficulty tiers for each level in the story mode and the AI and bugs are just nonstop in tier 3. I couldn't finish one level because everytime I would go hide somewhere, the npc close to me would get stuck in a walking animation and never leave. Beyond annoying, this and the fact that the game is structured around completing the same levels over and over to grind cash just made me bored and angry. The first difficulty tier is good…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →📦 First of all, to avoid blaming it for the difficulty, use the safe in the store to save items, and don't forget about the ability to sneak so that the guards don't "see you through the walls". It's a very small and technically simple game, but quite fun. Of course, there are minor game-breaking bugs and it can be harsh at times, but it's initially aimed at trial & error and replayability. Enough equip, a short campaign, a built-in level editor, co-op. Wish it was bigger and better, but what…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't like this game because if you fail one mission, you lose EVERYTHING you've acquired so far and you have to start ALL OVER again. To me that's extremely demotivating, just let me repeat the level I failed, instead of removing everything I've bought in the shop.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game for collection only
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game needs update and fixes with the sprite tiles with the flashlight but looks quite ok.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is top for my money, but I got it for free. The pixel house robbery is wildly addictive at different difficulty levels, running away from security, stealing money with kents and all kinds of bonuses I advise you to try the demo version, who is too lazy to buy it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As other people have said, the game is really buggy. Enemies would get stuck running in place and wouldn't move unless you provoke them which got myself caught a lot of times. Also even after completing the required task for an achievement, the achievement wasn't awarded. At least I got the game for free.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unplayable imo. Bugs everywhere, not recommended even for free

unlabelledView post →It's fine, I can't say anything positive or negative about it. Game is just good enough to pass the time, but not very enjoyable.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mini Thief, developed by Stranga Games and TommahGames and published by GrabTheGames, is a compact stealth-oriented indie game that builds its appeal around simplicity, quick sessions, and a playful take on burglary. It doesn’t attempt to simulate stealth in a deep or realistic way; instead, it focuses on a streamlined loop where players sneak into houses, grab valuables, and get out before being caught. The result is a game that is easy to understand and immediately engaging, though its…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In general it's not good, at most okay. It works as a simple formula, but it lacks any fun quality that makes me want to continue playing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An indie stealth game where you can create your own maps, as you should, because there are very few pre-built levels. All in all, if you like stealth games, you should give it a go...on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excellent puzzle game to try to navigate yourself through different levels and challenges, you either have to avoid dogs, cameras or guards depending on the level.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →could have been an interesting game, turned out into "how to bore someone in under 2 minutes challenge", crazy stuff author, did Diana construct this game off cheap socks in Ukraine?Either way, i did not like it. Give me my money back you whimp.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →tbf it has good enough puzzles so you can play a day or 2 but thats all, later levels can be challening
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting but seems grindy with little reward - the strategy is probably to farm low levels for cash and then buy the gear you need to pass a normal level and then repeat for the next level. All items bought are 1 time use and lost upon being caught. Would have been less annoying and grindy if you kept them until used. Too much work for little reward given have even level 3 has cameras, wires and a dog, let alone the levels after that one - no chance to complete any of them at all without…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is essentially just a portfolio piece. Seems like a developer who just wanted to get experience publishing their game to Steam, tried to garner some interest, or just wants to show something off for game dev interviews. Not much content, the levels are completed very fast usually before the owner ever arrives, and you don't really even have any reason to make use of any of the shop items. Can't be mad because I received this for free, but not worth your time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →God forbid you actually try to beat all the levels on the hardest difficulty, some levels have zones that will freeze guards at your only exit, so you lose instantly, its even better when that zone is your only method of not being seen. The game doesn't tell you but the guards can also hear your footsteps, I didn't realise this for too long. It is funny that you can hug the wall and freeze guards who are suspicious, but that's probably the only time I had fun, ultimately its a bit buggy but its…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gameplay is fine. The music was good though but it was extremely repetitive. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3424139266
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →6/10 Great concept, though it's very buggy. (I'd would recommend waiting to buy this game on either a major sale or when the bugs get fixed. It is playable but can be frustrating). Various number of issues... - cop/police getting stuck in place, blocking your path so you inevitably can't do anything, so you just lose. - Backing out of a game that you've accidentally gone into makes you lose your safe, just adds unnecessary time, making me go back to an easier level to grind back enough cash…
