In this game you must control a jewel thief using the mouse, trying to catch all the gems that exist in the stage, but beware: dangerous guards are lurking! You must avoid enemies, diverting them quickly. In the early stages you will feel at ease, everything seems easy. But over the level of difficulty increases progressively ... Enemies are faster, larger, more stealthy, increasingly will be harder to avoid them!<br /> Our adventurer begins his search in a museum, steals amethysts, chests of gold at the end of the rainbow, escape from scorpions and camels to get opals in Egypt, passing through big cities where he is chased by cars and helicopters, to enter into secret chambers and find sapphires - and encounters with poisonous snakes and mummies - the beach where you will have to avoid the almost invisible water medusa, facing dragons to get lava rocks until finally entering the dense forest and reach Machu Picchu, where they will face the last challenge! Can you pass all levels? Jwltief 1.0.0 new Jwltief
