About the game

Loop Thief is a heist puzzle played in ten-second time loops. In the first loop you control one thief. When the loop ends, time rewinds and a second thief appears, while the first one replays every step you took, exactly as you made it. Get the loot out of the building in four loops or less.

Your past selves are your crew. A ghost standing on a pressure plate holds a door open for the next thief, and some doors need two ghosts at once. Guards patrol and lasers switch on and off, so timing matters as much as the route. Getting caught simply restarts the current loop. Fifteen heists in all, each remembering how few loops you needed.
