Bob the Robber

As a lighthearted, browser-based romp, Bob the Robber is an appealing mix of stealth and puzzle-solving. Tasking you with helping Bob to ‘secure’ valuables as an in-game new-age burglar during levels without being detected (encouraging you to think like a real-life burglar), this game loads up over 100 levels of increasing difficulty for you to solve. Successfully sneaking past guards and navigating traps is a lovely cocktail of adrenaline and quiet triumph. It can be taxing enough for a free-to-play game that it makes you hit the brakes and plot a course.

Other players praise the game for the entertainment factor and the absence of disruptive ads, an ever-present plus. “Challenging at times but really fun!” it’s said. and comments on our site reflect this sentiment with words like 'good'. The pleasure stems from the exhilaration of the heist — sneaking through the shadows, breaking into safes and avoiding security cameras.

But even though the game is mostly fun to play, that doesn’t always mean that is not repetitive as you keep going. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing for everyone, but if you’d prefer to mix things up, it is something to consider. And just for fun, why did the thief take a shower? Because he needed to make a clean getaway, obviously! With every level, you’ll convey that smooth criminal even sneakier.

Overall, Bob the Robber is a solid time waster that has just the right amount of challenge to keep you engaged and clicking all the way to the end but don’t expect it to be a wheel reinvention of browser games.
