Rookie Rook
Broke, principled and full of terrible ideas. Build sentences from word blocks and watch them come to life. No strength needed here, no sword, no good intentions: just look carefully, move the right piece and watch everything else come crashing down.
About the game
A penniless rogue makes his way through sheer wit and mischief. In Rookie Rook you solve each level by building sentences from word blocks (verbs and objects) to sneak in, create a distraction and grab the prize without anyone noticing.
Inspired by Tiny Thief and the Spanish picaresque novel (Lazarillo de Tormes, El Buscón).
