More about this game
Your goal is to steal three gems from the vault and bring them safely back to the start. Hold to sneak forward during the safe phase. When the warning phase begins, you must release your movement and swipe to match the requested pose. If you are still moving or in the wrong pose when the scan phase starts, you lose one of your three hearts. The game ends when you secure three gems or run out of hearts or time.
Tips
- You must completely release the sneak input before swiping. If you are holding the move button, your pose will not match.
- The safe movement phase gets slightly shorter as you progress through the 30 stages, requiring faster reaction times.
- You move at a different speed when carrying a gem back to the start, so adjust your timing accordingly.
FAQ
- How do I unlock new outfits?
- You earn stars based on how many of your 3 hearts remain at the end of a stage. Accumulate stars to unlock outfits like the Raccoon or Superhero.
- Why did I lose a heart?
- You lose a heart if you are still holding the sneak button when the scan phase starts, or if you haven't matched the exact pose requested.
- How do I grab the gem?
- Once you reach the vault on the far right side of the screen, a grab button appears. Tap it to pick up the gem.
