Crooked Frames: Art Heist

You're an art thief with one weakness: you can't walk past a crooked painting. Sneak through the museum at night, level every frame you pass with your thumbs, and get the target out before the guard turns round. STRAIGHTEN IT, DON'T GET CAUGHT Hold the frame and ease it level. Get it dead true and it clicks into place with a sparkle and a tip. Leave one crooked and the itch grows until your hands reach for it on their own. Every frame is a little gamble against the guard's rhythm. FREEZE WHEN HE LOOKS Guards wander, doze and turn round. Hands down and stand still, and you're just another statue on a plinth. Learn each guard: the night watchman, the sergeant who looks twice, the old guard who nods off and the slow rookie. THREE MUSEUMS AND ONE BIG SCORE Start with a quiet training night, then rob the Impressionist Gallery, the Floating World of Japanese prints and the Old Masters, with wire-hung frames that swing back and modern art hung upside down. Steal every target and the last job opens: the Great Wave itself. 99 REAL PAINTINGS Every painting is a real public domain masterpiece, from Van Gogh and Monet to Hokusai and Vermeer. Level one perfectly to add it to your catalogue, and hang every target you get away with on your hideout wall. THE FENCE AND YOUR RANK Sell your loot to the fence and spend it on disguises (a cat suit, cleaner's overalls, a guard's uniform, a velvet jacket) and gear (a spirit level, soft shoes, cotton gloves, a stopwatch). Take on side jobs for extra cash. Climb from Pickpocket to Legend, and the fence pays more as your name grows. STARS, NIGHT SHIFTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS Earn three stars a job: get away, stay unseen, make every click perfect. Clear a museum and its night shift opens, with more guards and more pay. 16 achievements on Google Play Games. Short runs, one thumb on each side. Free, with a small banner ad under the game. No video ads and nothing to buy.

The first public release of Crooked Frames: three museums and the Great Wave to steal, 99 real paintings to level, disguises and gear at the fence, night shifts and 16 achievements. Thanks for playing!
