Press release:
Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK –14 December 2020.
The Irland-based indie games developer Out of Tune Games are today very happy and proud to announce that their competitive action multiplayer game “Crooks Like Us” is coming to Steam in March 2021.

Furthermore, Out of Tune Games has also just announced that the alpha version of “Crooks Like Us” is now available via itch.io (you can play the game free via your web browser).

Crooks Like Us is a funny, chaotic online multiplayer game where you get to steal everything you see by taking simultaneous control of both the thieves and the room you are actually robbing.

In Crooks Like Us you will have to carry as many items as you can to your getaway van before time runs out. Balance a higher stack to get more points and use gadgets to mess with other players.

“We’re keen to get streamers playing the alpha of Crooks Like Us”, says Mal Duffin, co-founder at Out of Tune Games.

“We’d love to incorporate their feedback into the beta due at the end of January, and ultimately into the final release”.

Crooks Like Us has just set up a new Discord channel where people can join to arrange times to play with other players, and also give feedback on the game.

Features:
– Control both your thief & the room
– Users can plan and place elements in the level before a match starts
– Two distinctive ways to play simultaneously
– Help or hinder other players
– Absurd, comical and non-violent
