Our Expert Score
Beat Sneak Bandit is a rhythmic revelation. Simogo has created something truly special here—a stealth game where every single movement must be in sync with the beat of the soundtrack. It’s a brilliant fusion of genres that feels completely native to the touch screen. You play as the Bandit, trying to steal back all the clocks from Duke Clockface, and the only way to move is to tap to the rhythm.
The puzzles are deviously designed. You have to time your sneak past guards, trapdoors, and security cameras, all while the music keeps a steady pulse. The art style is gorgeous, with a 60s spy-flick aesthetic that is oozing with style. It’s one of the most creative and polished games on the App Store, and it will have you bobbing your head while you solve its brain-bending puzzles.

Tips & Walkthrough
Watch the environment! Everything from the guards' footsteps to the swinging pendulums moves to the beat. If you are unsure of the rhythm, look for the visual 'pulse' on the screen or listen for the steady bass line.
Gameplays
To change direction, simply walk into a wall on the beat. The Bandit will turn around automatically, allowing you to backtrack or wait for the perfect moment to sneak past a camera.

Q&A
While not strictly required, headphones are highly recommended to catch the subtle rhythmic cues that are essential for the more difficult levels.

Make sure your ringer isn't silent
Wed Aug 30 2017 Alnson885I originally published a one-star review that complained of no sound, even though my volume was maxed, my ringer was maxed, and I could play other audio just fine. It was fixed by switching off the vibrate switch, which I didn't realize was enabled. When the game says "sound must be switched on," it means it. I'll update this review with my impressions later.
Satisfying challenge
Tue Sep 12 2017 TrentVanoThe 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.
One of my favorite classic games
Fri Sep 01 2017 thederekmastI'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.
One of my favorite games!
Sat Aug 24 2019 personalmusicmixerThe 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!❤️❤️❤️
Sequel?
Sat Feb 13 2021 SYCAMOREGRAD2025I 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!
Thank you devs

The best
Wed Aug 16 2017 PathockMakes all other rhythm games look like pong.
Back to reality
Sun Nov 25 2018 Funky Chunky MunkeyAlright, 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.
