Greetings and good morning, my dear Hive friends. It is a great pleasure for me to be back here after a short period of absence. Today I want to share with you my opinions about a game I recently discovered in the Google play app store. I am talking about Robbery Bob.
This game caught my attention because it stands out from the others for having a different approach to the usual that we can find. That is, instead of being the good guys, in this case we are the bad guys. I thought it was an interesting premise. Haha.😅
But well, in order for you to get to know it, what better than to tell you all its details. Without further introduction, let's get started.

First, let's start with the story that we will have with Bob (our character) in the game. I can tell you that the story is quite simple and straightforward, since the game is more focused on gameplay than on presenting you with a gripping story.
Bob is a thief who is imprisoned for committing robberies. One day he is helped to escape from jail by a mysterious character. We will get to know him little by little as we advance through the levels of the game.

The thing is that this mysterious character did not get us out of jail for nothing, now we are indebted to him and to pay him we have to commit robberies for him and other characters that we will come across along the way.

And that, my friends, would be the premise of the game. It's a simple thing but it compensates very well with the fun gameplay of the game. But in order for you to get to know it, what better than to talk a bit about it.
Gameplay
The gameplay of the game is quite interesting and adds several things that make it a lot of fun. The key word here is stealth. As I mentioned before, our objective in the game is to rob houses. So, imagine what would happen if you enter someone else's house by making noise and taking things? Well, if that's what you imagine, the police will be called.
In the game the exact same thing happens. We will have to be as stealthy as possible and stay hidden from the gaze of the inhabitants of the house, otherwise they will catch us or call the police. And we don't want that, do we? Haha.😅

Well, in each level, the mysterious character who got us out of jail will take us to a different house and tell us exactly what he wants us to get. In addition to that, we can steal other items in the house and then sell them to buy upgrades in the in-game store. We'll talk about the store later in this post.
But surely, as you can imagine, not everything will be plain sailing, as there will be enemies and difficulties. Among them are the inhabitants of the house, security cameras, police, among others. Each one has its own difficulty levels and as we advance in the game, they will become even more difficult. But don't worry, later in this post I will talk about some strategies or tricks you can use to steal more effectively hahaha.😅

The Controls
The game controls are quite simple, since we will only have 2 buttons. One is an ordinary joystick to move Bob, and the other is a button used to run. But be careful, this has a trick.

First you should know that if you run you will make more noise, which will make it easier for them to find you. In addition, the running function has a limited energy that will take a few moments to be completely restored if it is completely exhausted.
I recommend that you only use it in the most necessary moments, for example, reserve it for when you have been discovered and you must run to avoid being caught.
Bonuses:
In the game, there are 3 bonuses that we can get at the end of each level. For this, we have to complete certain steps outside the main objective that we were given. You should know that if you complete all 3, you will get more money.

The first bonus is to complete the level without being spotted. In my opinion, this is one of the most difficult because there is always the possibility that someone will see you, and it is easy to lose this bonus.
The other is time. Although you can take as much time as you want on each level, you only get this bonus if you complete it in the time given. It's also a bit tricky, as it forces you to make use of the run button, which will have consequences haha. The developers thought it through here.
The final bonus is to steal all the items. This means that you must steal all available items besides the main one you are given as a target. This, so to speak, is the easiest of the 3.
The store:
Now it's time to talk about what I promised you earlier in the post: the store. You earn money by completing each level and getting the bonuses I just talked about. Then, all that money can be used in the store. But what exactly can you buy in the store? Well, there are 3 types of upgrades.
First, there are the permanent upgrades. These are the classic ones: run faster, be more stealthy, endurance, among many others.

The second improvement you can make is to buy utensils. These are of limited use, so when you run out you will have to buy more. Some of them are: strange liquid to make you invisible, rope toy to use as a distraction, donut to entertain the guards, among many others.

And the last category you can get are costumes. Each one has effects on Bob, from being faster to being more stealthy. You must choose the one you like the most or the one you can afford haha.😅

Strategies for success:
Well, now we move on to the section I also promised you: the strategies for coming out on top in each level. Without further ado, here they go:
If you leave the doors open, the people in the house will realize that someone has entered, so I recommend that you close the doors that you leave behind. In case you don't want to be closing the doors and you see that you were discovered, you can hide behind the door. Both strategies are valid; it all depends on how you play the game.
Be observant, as the people in the house often follow a programmed route that you can use to know the best time to enter a room. Some also show their route with dots; it's just a matter of learning it.

Use the boxes. In some places or houses there are boxes on the floor that you can use to hide and get out at the right time. But don't abuse this, otherwise you won't get the time bonuses.
Have fun: What better strategy than using the game to have fun? It's not all frenzy to do it fast for the bonuses; the game is fun enough to play in a hurry.
My opinions:
If I had to give Robbery Bob a score, I'd give it an 8/10. The truth is that it's a very fun game. As you may have noticed, one of the things that I definitely liked is its gameplay, I thought it was innovative, because it's not every day you find games like this that get you hooked.
If I had to miss something it would be that I would have liked to have a little more story within the game, but hey, that's my opinion haha. But if you're still not sure whether to play the game or not, what better than watching the game's trailer? I'll leave it right here.
I also leave you some additional details: The game has 11 chapters and inside a multitude of levels in different areas, not everything will be houses, there are also police stations, laboratories and others.

Well friends this is all for today, it has been a pleasure for me to return after a while. For today I say goodbye but as you know I will be back soon with more. Greetings.
