Not a bad game at all, this one. The burglars are very intelligent at the higher levels. Read Review

"Look out, investors! Your local bank is being robbed!"
Manoeuvre the bank manager around the building, collecting money bags and returning them to the vault. Dodge the ever-chasing robbers or bop them on the head with a hammer. Look out for the time bomb and get the cup of tea. Very addictive and fun to play.
The game is set inside a bank. It consists of floors linked by ladders. It is the end of the day and the money bags are scattered around the bank. You control the bank manager and it is your job to return all of the money bags to the vault at the bottom-left of the bank. But you've got troubles. Four nasty burglars have broken into the bank and are determined to catch you so that they can get away with the money!
Another problem is that at random occasions, the burglars plant time bombs and you've got about ten seconds to reach them and defuse them before they blow up. A cup of tea will appear at random and for bonus points you should go and be refreshed.
There are also hammers in two corners of the bank and, once you have collected them, you can knock out the burglars and they'll stay stunned for a random time. You cannot carry a hammer up or down a ladder and if you knock out a burglar so that he falls on top of a money bag you cannot pick that bag up.
To pick up a money bag, drink the cup of tea and defuse the bomb all you have to do is walk over the objects. To drop a money bag, you need to walk into the vault.
You get five points for each bag successfully deposited and also for defusing a bomb, drinking the tea and knocking out a burglar. After you have collected all the bags in the bank, a small cartoon will occur and then the bank opens for a second day. This time the burglars are more determined and chase more intelligently. Also, there are more money bags to collect and the burglars set more time bombs.
To put your initials onto the Hi-Score ladder, use the cursor keys to position the cursor in the correct position and press RETURN. It's up to you to protect the bank's money!
Good luck!
