Daddy Was A Thief' Review - A Decent Little Time Killer

"Daddy Was a Thief is a cute endless platformer, a casual game which is no less than Subway Surfer"



An unhappy end for a Dad down on his luck who goes to extraordinary lengths to provide basic needs for his family. You play the role of Daddy who has just robbed a bank, and jumped to the adjacent building, and must escape through as many floors as possible(trust me it never ends). It's more or less like an elevator escape with no car escape at the bottom floor as u see in James Bond movies. Swiping down will make your way through the ground by crating a hole, while swiping up will jump... although you don't really need the jump unless there is a missile strike or u have to get in a Bath tub.




Every floor will either have a occupant (be they cop,or old lady), and piece of furniture,a bath tub which will accelerate you through couple of floors and destroy everything which comes on its way  or the shrink ray, which will shrink you the more you let the ray to fall on you the tinier you get and you have to double your efforts to make it through the floor to avoid the deadly stinger missiles being fired at the building in order to take you down.

As the game passes you will often find yourself getting stuck between objects, such as a refrigerator and a desk, or even against the level geometry itself. It is so bad in some instances that all you could do was wait for a missile to take you out. Like any other games some power ups are also available like UFO and rockets. Infact you have specific achievements like Subway Surfer and Temple Run which can only be unlocked using coins which you can earn by dashing into the furniture or jumping over the cops and the old granny.

At the end I would summarize with two cons :- 
  • A really happy song to whistle along to when playing.
  • Kind of a new take on Elevator Action.

Subway Surfer Mumbai

Subway Surfer,needless to say is an immensely entertaining game. It can keep you glued to your screen for hours all together.

Like most endless runner games, there's a almost the same plot to Subway Surfers. You run, trying to dodge capture and obstacles, swiping up to jump or down to slide. Swiping side to side lets you switch between tracks as you run. Along the way, players collect coins, which can be used for power-ups, but those same power-ups are also sprinkled along the tracks and you can even buy some through some in-app purchases.With time the pace of the game increases making it difficult to control your character.



The game is getting very popular as soon as it has received this latest update. The game has been shared regularly on the social networks but these days it is going viral among Indian users.As the game has recently got an update and the game is now in the city of Mumbai (India).






Though the game play is just same but trains are now modded to go with Indian feel.
Now you have to dodge Delhi Metro and Mumbai Local.Even the policemen is now a pot bellied havaldar with a thick moustache.


Subway Surfers started world tour almost a year ago which brought many updates related to major cities of the world. I’ve played Paris, Moscow,Japan part.
Every new version of the game brings in some new characters, one free character and brand new graphics inspired by the real city train transport system.

This version has got a new character named Jay which you have to unlock and graphics inspired by the colorful streets of Mumbai. In this version of Subway Surfers you’ll be running through the streets of Mumbai and y will surely love it.
The main concept of the game always remained the same with every new version only the theme is bit tweaked. The game is still an endless running game in which you need to run through the streets of Mumbai to get around and put up a highest score and compete with your facebook friends.
