About
Jewel Thief was a game created by Paul Ligeski of ServantWare in 1991, credited by this remake for its original design, sprites, and backgrounds. This is an Android re-implementation of Jewel Thief built with the libGDX framework, reusing the original game's sprites and backgrounds. Players collect jewels scattered across levels while avoiding guards and borders, using single-finger touch controls.
How it differs from the original
The author describes it as a re-implementation for modern hardware using the original game's sprites and backgrounds rather than new artwork.
Getting started
The app was distributed through the Google Play Store and needs only internet-access permission, used for the online highscore list; movement is controlled with a single finger.
