King of Thieves is the latest game from Cut the Rope creator, now on Google Play

Best known for its Cut the Rope series, Zeptolab recently unveiled its latest title, King of Thieves, for the Amazon AppStore. However, for those who were waiting for an official Google Play release, today is the day.

This time around the game has nothing to do with the cutting of ropes, and instead centers on a thief whose goal is to steal gems and gold from other players. Yes, that means there is a PVP component in this game, as well as 80 single-mode levels. In addition to stealing from others, you have to do your best to keep your own base safe, creating defenses to best protect your stash of gold and gems. In addition to looting and protecting your base, there’s also a crafting element, letting you make costumes for your thief.

The long term goal of the game? Keep thieving and growing your treasure until you find yourself at the top of the leaderboards, where you’ll be hailed as the King of Thieves. As you can tell in the video, this game isn’t meant to be taken too seriously, and while different from Cut the Rope, still maintains a similar vibe and artstyle.

You can get King of Theives free from Google Play, though there are in-app purchases as well. Anyone try this one out yet? If so, what do you think?
