Robbery Bob has a "mixed or average" score on
Metacritic. The gameplay was received poorly. In a
TouchArcade review, Brendan Saricks felt that its sneaking mechanic went from "real strong" to "a repetitive room-by-room hunt". while AJ Dellinger of
Gamezebo thought they were "pretty fluid". Although he thought the dialogue was "cringeworthy", Dellinger found that the story was "intense", writing about the crimes Bob commits.
Robbery Bob art style was met with criticism. Luke Larsen of
Paste magazine described it as "tacky", presented through "cartoonish antics" and "forgettable characters". Dellinger said the
graphics mostly consisted of smoothed "pixels from the '90s", and he stated that the plants were "drawings from kindergarteners". ==Sequel==
