For Starter, works well on Steam Deck! (just have to set the buttons right)

In Time Thief you play as this cute thief named Bunny moon and your task is to steal different items for your ultimate goal...no spoilers!
You do this by sneaking around multiple floor buildings and not getting caught by the guards or other random people populating the area.

The game features cute and lovely characters and pixel art, many references to other games and fun gameplay. Even though at times the game is hard adn requires some problem solving, it never felt like it would get to your nerves, trying again is easy enough.
Bosses also break up the usual gameplay, each boss has their own gimmick and are very interesting and fun to figure out how to beat them.
You can also buy items to help you out in your runs!

And now where the game could certainly use some work.
-No fullscreen mode, you have to play in a window unless you force lower resolution on whole screen. Interestingly enough Steam Deck stretches window games to full screen so there it works very well, however its playing in non native resolution and resorts to pixel doubling in some horizontal rows, so the image is not perfect.
-Randomness, while it keeps the game fresh by switching the item locations and the people going after you, it also randomizes the difficulty... Sometimes theres a detective, ninja, sniper and guards all going after you, sometimes its only the guards, so each run is not same difficulty wise, this is especially bad if youre going for higher ranks.
-Not much time to stealth. Often the time limit is pretty tight which understandably keeps you moving, but if you wanna sneak and not get caught, it pretty much means you are gonna run out of time or at least lose on your score. Sometimes guards also keep walking around closed areas you wanna go to a bit too hard so you just HAVE to WAIT and the timer just dosent have much space for that.

But overall I had fun with this game and loved the art and characters. And I think it was the moneys worth.
So, I recommend you give it a try!

Time Thief is a very poorly made 2D retro pixel side-view stealth/action game where you have a limited amount of time to run through a building, steal stuff and get to the exit. There's guards, so you must evade them by hiding in various places like lockers and things. It's a fairly simple and shallow experience, with a technical implementation even worse than the shallow and uninspired game design.

From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.

A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result.

There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics.

The implementation here is of such poor quality, the developer couldn't work out how to make the game display in fullscreen, it only runs in a window.

Bewilderingly, while the game includes limited audio controls, you can't turn off the annoying background music (you can set it to 20, 50 or 100, but not 0!!!), so you'll need to alt+tab out and stop the music using the Windows sound mixer. This is obviously not okay and it's unclear why the developers couldn't get such a simple basic feature done properly.

The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers.

Some of the defects in the game can be attributed to the choice of using the Clickteam Fusion game engine/toolset - the "No-Code" construction kit that "Anyone can make games with!!". Including, you know, people who aren't game developers. Which is a problem. This is a very poor quality toolset sometimes used by amateur developers as it's free (so they don't have to pay for GameMaker Studio) and doesn't require advanced game development skills, but unfortunately has very limited capabilities (it's arguably worse than GameMaker Studio). Just as you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, you can't make a great video game if you use a terrible engine.

These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.

The poor quality of this game is reflected in the general public reception. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players. That's right, only 2. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in the game is to be expected. Gamers just didn't take this low quality game seriously, and for good reason.

Time Thief has the farcical price of around $5 USD (truly an attempt at theft), it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam.

Note: Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not count towards your Game Collector counts, achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.
