Sneaky Sneaky is a gorgeous looking stealth action game that’s just landed on the App Store. It’s part Zelda, part Metal Gear, and has more than a few tricks up its sleeve.

You play a hooded thief who has his loot spirited away. You need to travel through a series of levels, re-stealing your rubies and dealing with the monsters and guards that block your path.

Things start off pretty simply. You can see the field of vision of your foes, and you need to keep out of it and make your way to the exit.

Then you get a sword, which you can use to fight enemies. Hide in a bush or a hay stack and you can pop out for a simple one-hit kill.

Get spotted and the game becomes a sort of turn-based battler. You’ve got a set number of hearts, and if they’re chipped away you die.

In later levels you get a bow that lets you deal with monsters from range, but you need to top up your arrows by lopping down trees.

You can set traps as well. Popping some meat down to lure a guard away, then stabbing him when his back is turned.

Everything is presented in gorgeous cartoon visuals, and the simple tap-to-move controls work wonderfully on touch screen.

Sneaky Sneaky is out right now on the App Store, and it’ll set you back £1.99 / $2.99 to pick it up. We reckon it’s definitely worth that as well.
