"It's rare to find a game that does something so original so well, with every element of gameplay and design falling into place. Simogo has pulled it off with Beat Sneak Bandit. In my books it's a must buy, and such a shame it would be to miss out." - TouchArcade
"It's impossible not to fall in love with this funky little number." - Videogamer.com
"Beat Sneak Bandit is polished, challenging, wholly original and a heck of a lot of fun. It’s a great example of how presentation, control and design can come together to create a cohesive and extremely fun package. Don’t miss it!" - IGN
"Quick to get into but devilish in the detail, Beat Sneak Bandit makes all the right noises, and in what's already a strong year for mobile gaming, this is the best iPhone game I've played." - Eurogamer
"Every now and again though, a game comes along for iOS that knocks you for six, and re-ignites your passion for not just iOS gaming, but gaming in general. Well, Beat Sneak Bandit is one such game." - Touchgen
"It's an unlikely mix for sure, but Beat Sneak Bandit's smart blend of puzzling and beat-matching proves to be an ingeniously crafted delight." - Pocketgamer
"You'll be hard pressed to put this game down until you've 'clocked' it entirely - a must have for all iPhone gamers." - Appspy
"A true work of art, in so many ways. It's smart. It's challenging. It's gorgeous. But most importantly, it's fun - dizzying, dreamy, and delightful fun." - Gamezebo

8 of 15I'm so happy this has been updated to new phone sizes as well as 64-bit. This is one of my absolute favorite games; it was one of the first to take a one-tap style of gameplay and make it really good. The rhythm puzzle mechanics, the music, the art style: All of it is delightful. Get it and enjoy.
A favorite classic ios game of mine. Awesome sound, amusing gameplay, cute graphics. All around great rhythm game.
Something wrong with this game it doesn't work
Alright, so the devs saw the game wasn’t working on XR and fixed it. So I’m here to fix that one star into 5. Game is one of a kind and needs to, at least, be experienced once. Good to have it back and playable.
The good: Clever level design. You can make the game as easy or hard as you want, because it's up to you how many collectibles you go after each level. It's hard and yet not frustrating , a balance that few games are able to achieve. The bad: Very little really. You could say that the music isn't the greatest.
The graphics are great! The levels are challenging! As long as you can step to the best, then you are able to sneak your way to the end. I find that even though I have best all of the levels, I’ll go back and replay them for fun. My only comment is I want more!❤️❤️❤️
I wouldn't have got it if I knew you had to have sound on. Dislike the whole idea of moving to the beat. Waste of money.
I absolutely LOVE this game! It’s so unique. Nothing else even remotely comes close to its gameplay! I wish there is a sequel planned. I know it’s been nearly a decade, but is there any hope? I’ll pay double!
