About The Swindle
Pull off daring heists in randomly-generated steampunk buildings, hacking systems and grabbing loot before police arrive, all while upgrading your skills and gear between jobs from your airship base. Race against the clock to steal enough to sabotage Scotland Yard's all-seeing AI before it ends your criminal career forever.
The Swindle is a steampunk cybercrime caper about breaking into buildings, hacking their systems, stealing all their cash, and quickly running away again before the police show up.All the buildings you’ll be robbing are randomly-generated, so you’ll never get the same level twice.
Meanwhile, from the safety of your rickety airship up in Outer Space, you can modify your thief with new skills, tools, and all manner of advanced technological horrors, allowing you to take on bigger buildings with better security, for gargantuan rewards!
Have you got what it takes to pull off The Swindle?

EXTREMELY GOOD so good in fact, I had pirated the game before. but i enjoyed it so much that i deleted my pirated copy and then bought the game to support the developers. lovely game 10/101 found this helpful
A little buggy but it's fire1 found this helpful
Play addictive & highly enjoyable game as a master criminal who starts off with his own airship but with an inability to hack cash machines or run / jump properly1 found this helpful
I love this game, I keep playing it once in a while since every level changes. It can be a hard game to beat but that makes it more of a challenge and more fun to play. Also great music and steampunk style ♥1 found this helpful
Cool idea, creative aesthetics, conceptually fun. However, it's a high-stakes stealth platformer with unrealiable controls. About a third of my deaths didn't come from a failure of skill, but from jumping or clinging to walls randomly not activating for whatever reason (I have some 10ish hours offline).1 found this helpful
Very fun
