This Android game is a remake of the legendary Jewel Thief game made by Paul Ligeski from ServantWare in 1991. Ported to Switch using SwitchGDX.
The National Museum is in a tissy. The country's jewel collection has been stolen and scattered all over creation. Your mission is to travel to far away places and steal back the jewels from their unrightful owners. As you leave your mother wishes you well and reminds you to be careful...
You can follow me on my development blog for the latest news on this and other projects of mine.
App now available on Google Play Store.
Watch the promotion video showing in-game footage.
Collect all jewels as fast as possible and avoid guards and borders. You get extra men when you collect jewels.
Tip: Use only one finger to move around.
The more you tell me, the better my apps get. Please use the comments on Google Play Store or visit my website to post feedback.
Your privacy is really important to me. The only permission that this app requires is internet access (android.permission.INTERNET). This is needed for the highscore list to function.
To build for PC or Switch, the crypt directory needs to be sourced from an APK of the game and placed into the assets directory.
