The story of Tiny Thief followed a childlike Robin Hood, that stole from enemies such as the sheriff, pirates and bakers. The solving of puzzles normally required stealth, so players need to act cleverly.

Rovio discontinued development of Tiny Thief and removed it from app stores in February 2016.[2]

Gameplay

In Tiny Thief, the goal was to steal a certain object placed in an area of the level. Players control a thief by tapping on an accessible area. Players could guide the thief into a ladder, door or anything other paths to access more areas. Players could also let the thief pick up objects to help with the mission. Some levels required stealth, so if a guard or a person saw the thief, the level would restart to a certain point. The game used the three-star rating format. The first star was earned by picking up hidden treasures, the second one was earned by stealing the key item, and the third one was awarded when the thief's pet ferret is found.
