About Block Bandit
Block Bandit is a turn-based heist puzzle. Each time you take a step, the guards take a step. Stay out of their flashlight beams, grab the loot and reach the exit. Escape with all the loot in as few moves as possible to earn 3 stars.
Block Bandit is a stealth puzzle where every move counts. Each time you take a step, every guard takes a step too. Guards carry flashlights, and if you are inside a beam you get caught. The game shows where each guard will look on the next turn, so you can plan your path around them.
Grab all the loot, then reach the exit. Finish a heist with all the loot in as few moves as possible to earn 3 stars. If you get caught, you can rewind 2 moves and try again. Every heist is checked by the game to make sure it can be beaten, so there is always a way through.
