LIL THIEF is a portrait stealth puzzle game built around short, tense heists. Study the layout, watch patrol routes, avoid camera vision, manage noise, steal the target, and make it to the exit without triggering the alarm. Each action advances the simulation, so every step matters. What is in the current version: Campaign progression with chapter and level unlocks Daily Heist with a fresh seeded challenge Procedural levels designed for replayability Turn-based stealth with clear risk and reward Guards, cameras, light and visibility pressure Noise-based enemy reactions and search behavior Vents, switches, lockpicks, and loot extraction Star rating based on speed and stealth Short sessions in portrait orientation If you like stealth games, puzzle games, and compact tactical runs, LIL THIEF is built for quick replays and cleaner routes.
A Tiny Realm

Place hex tiles. Watch a tiny kingdom take shape. Hex & Hearth is a cozy puzzle where every tile you place fits ā or doesn't ā against the edges of its neighbors. Roads connect to roads. Rivers flow into rivers. Walls march along castle ridgelines. There's no timer breathing down your neck. No ads cutting your flow. Just you, the hex grid, and 50 hand-crafted little worlds. WHAT YOU'LL BUILD ⢠50 puzzle levels across 5 themed packs ā winding country roads, river deltas, coastal harbors, scattered island chains, and finally a full castle pack inspired by Carcassonne, Krak des Chevaliers, and Mont Saint-Michel. ⢠Bridges over rivers. Watchtowers on hills. Bailey walls around keeps. ⢠Villages with cottages, taverns, market squares, and the occasional cannon. HOW IT PLAYS ⢠Pick up the next tile in your queue, rotate it, and drop it where the edges match. ⢠Early levels teach the language; later puzzles open up into full sandboxes where you place tiles freely. ⢠Get stuck? Undo, restart, or step away ā your progress is saved. ⢠Times are tracked. Beat your best, climb the global ranking. WHAT MAKES IT QUIET ⢠No ads. ⢠No energy meters or "wait two hours for hearts." ⢠No microtransactions. ⢠Plays offline. ⢠Portrait. One thumb. Five minutes or an hour ā you set the pace. LOCALIZED ⢠English and Portuguese (pt-BR). Made by a small team who wanted to ship a puzzle game their grandmothers would actually finish. We hope you do too.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LIL THIEF at none against A Tiny Realm's shown. A Tiny Realm's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
