Our Expert Score

94/100

Beat Sneak Bandit is a rhythmic revelation. Simogo has created something truly special hereβ€”a stealth game where every single movement must be in sync with the beat of the soundtrack. It’s a brilliant fusion of genres that feels completely native to the touch screen. You play as the Bandit, trying to steal back all the clocks from Duke Clockface, and the only way to move is to tap to the rhythm.

The puzzles are deviously designed. You have to time your sneak past guards, trapdoors, and security cameras, all while the music keeps a steady pulse. The art style is gorgeous, with a 60s spy-flick aesthetic that is oozing with style. It’s one of the most creative and polished games on the App Store, and it will have you bobbing your head while you solve its brain-bending puzzles.

"It's rare to find a game that does something so original so well, with every element of gameplay and design falling into place. Simogo has pulled it off with Beat Sneak Bandit. In my books it's a must buy, and such a shame it would be to miss out." - TouchArcade

"It's impossible not to fall in love with this funky little number." - Videogamer.com

"Quick to get into but devilish in the detail, Beat Sneak Bandit makes all the right noises, and in what's already a strong year for mobile gaming, this is the best iPhone game I've played." - Eurogamer

"Every now and again though, a game comes along for iOS that knocks you for six, and re-ignites your passion for not just iOS gaming, but gaming in general. Well, Beat Sneak Bandit is one such game." - Touchgen

"It's an unlikely mix for sure, but Beat Sneak Bandit's smart blend of puzzling and beat-matching proves to be an ingeniously crafted delight." - Pocketgamer
