Cog Theif is a Trolley Game.
Introducing the Game
You can play Cog Thief alone or with a group of friends. The game is quite hard to play alone though so bringing some friends along to play with you is recommended. As you start the game you will find yourself in a field of the playground with some unprotected money barrels. Your job is to try and protect these barrels and stop the cogs from stealing them all away. If you look closely at the barrels you can see that they are valued differently. That means you could decide to focus all your energy on protecting the most valuable barrels while letting the cogs steal the less valued ones. The cogs move in fast and if you don't have a full team of toons it will be a lot harder to defend all the barrels.
To move around the area you use your arrow keys. In Cog Thief you can also move diagonally by pressing two arrow keys at once. As the cogs approach you can defend yourself by pressing CTRL and throw pies at them. The more barrels you manage to keep safe - the more beans you and your team will earn. But even if you do lose all the barrels you can still earn a reward since you get points for how long you are able to keep them away too.
As the cogs approach the barrels you have to be very careful so that they don't touch you. If a cog walks into you, you will be kicked up into the air and have a very rough landing. Being kicked into the air takes a lot of valuable time and by the time you land again the cogs may very well have stolen several undefended barrels. So if you can't hit the cog with a pie before it reaches a barrel it might be a better option to get out of the way and move on to try and defend another one instead.
As with the other trolley games Cog Thief is harder when you play it in one of the later playgrounds. More cogs will swarm in on you and the area you have to defend can be bigger. The reward of course is higher - but the likeliness of success is much smaller.
Toon Tips
