About Ball Thief vs Police
Ball Thief vs Police is a 2D platformer where you play as thief and you have to collect bags of money while avoiding the police and spikes. You have only 5 lives to start with. There are 8 levels to play and the difficulty increases as you proceed. Controls: Use "WASD" or "Arrow" keys for player's movement. Use "W" or "Up" arrow key for double jump.
How to play Ball Thief vs Police
There is very little to learn before your first run. Keep a hand on the arrow keys / WASD; everything else is listed in the controls table. Landscape layout: give it the fullscreen button on desktop, or rotate your phone. The second run is always better than the first — that is the whole learning curve.

Why it is worth playing
The appeal here is the loop: a short round, a clear result, and an obvious idea about what to do differently next time. It works as well on a phone on a bus as it does on a desktop.
