Ball Thief vs Police 2

Outrun the cops, grab the ball, and chain double jumps across rooftops before the cuffs snap shut.

I kept restarting the same level just to nail a clean double jump over a dumpster while a cop grabbed at my heels. That's the core loop of Ball Thief vs Police 2 — you're a nimble little thief, the ball is your prize, and the cops are never far behind. The controls feel tight, especially once you realize the second jump isn't just extra height; it gives you a quick air dash that can slide you under low barriers or over tight gaps. The police AI isn't dumb, but it's predictable in a way that's actually fun to exploit. They'll commit to straight-line sprints, so cutting corners and hopping onto ledges breaks their pathing for a half second — just enough to slip past. The levels get trickier with moving platforms and narrow alleys, and stealing the ball often triggers a faster chase. I found myself holding my breath on the final stretch because one mistimed jump sends you right back to the start. If you like simple arcade platformers that punish you fairly, this one scratches that itch. It's not a long game, but the replay value comes from beating your own best time and finding the cleanest route. Just don't get cocky with the double jump — I've faceplanted into walls more times than I'd like to admit.

Use "WASD" or "Arrow" keys for the player's movement. Use "W" or "Up" arrow key twice for double jump.

Save the double jump for mid-air corrections, not just extra height — it can pull you out of a bad landing. Circle around cops instead of outrunning them in a straight line; their turning radius is wider than yours. Grab the ball early, but if two cops corner you, drop it and reset. The ball respawns, your run doesn't. Use ledges and crates to break line of sight. Cops lose track briefly, giving you a free dash to the next gap. Practice the double jump timing on flat ground before attempting risky rooftop jumps — the second jump has a shorter arc.
