About Candy Heist
Candy Heist is a turn-based stealth puzzle from developer nyxalium, set on a Halloween street where every porch holds a bowl of treats and at least one homeowner who would rather you left it alone. Each level asks the same thing: gather all the candy and get back to the gate unseen. Nothing advances until you act, so you can study patrol routes and plan for as long as you like. Wind-up spiders are your main tool for creating an opening — send one rattling along the path to pull a homeowner away, then slip past. If someone turns to look at you, freeze inside your ghost costume until they lose interest. Twelve porches await, opening with a gentle introduction before mixing in patrols, noisy leaves, planters and a limited supply of decoys. Mistakes stay cheap: you can undo any move, even after you have been caught, and once you escape you can chase the target move counts. Keyboard, mouse and touch controls are all supported, best scores are saved on your device, and the music begins after your first input, with a sound toggle covering music and effects.
