The Swindle is a fantastic concept. It has a solid core idea, simple but tense stealth mechanics, and an interesting artstyle, all of which should've made it a great stealth games. But like others have said, despite all that, it feels sloppy. I can accept when I made a mistake and lost a level when it's on me, but a large majority of my failures in this game were solely because the game controls horribly.

It really sucks because I found EVERYTHING about this game's concept great, but its execution is just plain frustrating.
