Guide to Half Inch Heist for iOS: Tips, tricks, hints, cheats and strategies


Half Inch Heist is a new puzzle esque game for the iPhone and other iOS enabled devices. The whole goal in the game is to steal a diamond and to try and withstand everything that the game throws at you, from missiles to smashers to moving walls and even boss characters. The longer you go, the higher your score will be and the more coins you will have the chance to earn. Read on for some tips and tricks for Half Inch Heist!

Dealing with the missiles and the homing missiles is extremely easy. Simply drag the diamond left and right slowly across the bottom of the screen. It doesn’t matter how quickly you drag the diamond as the regular missiles will not home in on you. The homing missiles will, so drag the diamond from an area near the turret to an area that is far away from it.



When the first boss character comes up, drag the diamond to the very corner of the screen to draw the little homing missiles toward you. Then draw them away from you by quickly switching to another corner of the screen. Keep repeating this until the boss opens up his green spot, and then attack him.

For the second boss, draw the homing missiles toward the little robots that are surrounding it, and use the missiles to blow up the robots. Make a hole just big enough to fit the diamond through so that you can attack. Similar strategies exist with the other bosses as well so simply figure out when you can attack, and then do it.


If you swipe quickly enough across the screen, you can actually cause the diamond to go right through missiles, walls, smashers and other obstacles, due to the frame rate of the game. You need to swipe very quickly to make this happen, though. You will be able to tell if you swiped quickly enough if the diamond is slightly behind your finger and it appears to be very rapidly teleporting from spot to spot as opposed to just sliding and being stuck under your finger.
