## Description

Cop &amp; Thief is a turn-based grid puzzle where your job is simple in theory and tricky in practice: trap the thief so they can&#39;t reach any exit.<br>Each level is a small map with cops (that&#39;s you), one or two thieves, walls, and exits. You move one cop per turn, then the thief moves automatically — always looking for the shortest path out. Corner them, block their route, and close off every escape.
