About Halt The Heist!

✦ AI summary

Halt The Heist! is a 4-player online asymmetrical heist game where one team of Thief and Hacker work together to steal a diamond and escape while the Guard and Surveillance team hunt them down using cameras, hacking tools, and detective work. What sets it apart is the unique split-screen gameplay where each team has one player navigating the museum while their partner operates from a computer terminal, creating intense coordination challenges and information warfare as both sides race against time.

A co-operative multiplayer "Thieves vs. Guards" game about halting, catching and make it out with the loot!

There are no available servers and no player population. This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] This is an attempt to make a simple 2D retro pixel "heist" minigame, where players are either thieves trying to steal a diamond, or guards trying to capture the thieves. The story involves players working together in teams to accomplish the heist or stop it, navigating a museum environment …

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Games like Frostpunk for anyone who misses the Book of Laws more than the cold: the sequel's factions, a besieged house, beaver droughts, a drifting ark and the template it came from.
