Bob the Robber is a stealth puzzle game where you guide a sneaky thief through guarded buildings full of traps and secrets. Each level is a small puzzle: you have to work out where the guards look, which paths are safe and how to reach your goal without being spotted.
What makes it fun is the mix of patience and quick thinking. A plan that looks perfect can fall apart when a guard turns around, so you learn by trying, failing and trying again. Levels are short, which makes it easy to play a few between classes or during a free period.
How to play Bob the Robber
Your job is to get Bob through each level without being caught. Guards patrol the area, traps cover parts of the floor, and there are secrets to find along the way. Watch the guards first, learn their pattern, then move when the path is clear.
The game shows in-game prompts as you go, so the first levels double as a tutorial. Follow the hints on screen and you will pick up the basics within a few minutes.
Controls
Bob the Robber is played with the keyboard. Use the arrow keys or WASD to move Bob around the level. Follow the on-screen prompts for any extra actions the game asks you to do in a particular level.
Click inside the game window once it loads so the keyboard input goes to the game and not to the page.
Tips to get better
Stand still and watch before you move. Most guards repeat the same route, and ten seconds of observing saves a lot of restarts.
Do not rush. Stealth games reward careful steps, and a slow, safe move is usually better than a fast risky one.
Look at the whole level for traps and unusual objects. If something looks out of place, it is probably part of the puzzle or a secret.
If you get caught, think about why. Often the fix is just a different timing or a different route, not faster reactions.
