My Arms Are Longer Now Walkthrough Basics
My Arms Are Longer Now is a 2D stealth-comedy heist game by Toot Games, published by Jackbox Games. You play a thief with grotesquely long arms, using reach instead of brute force to bypass security, solve environmental puzzles, and steal valuables while a detective hunts you down. The full game launches on PC via Steam on March 11, 2027, and a free demo is available now.
Since the full level list is not public yet, this walkthrough covers the demo's opening flow and the transferable principles you will reuse in every heist.
Video Highlights:
- Official trailer footage showing the long-arm mechanics in action
- Stealth and security evasion gameplay examples
- The game's comedic 2D art style and heist environments
The full game is not out yet. Anything beyond the demo here is based on officially shown gameplay, so expect details to be refined before launch on March 11, 2027.

Demo Walkthrough: Step-by-Step Flow
The demo teaches the entire core loop in one opening section. Follow this sequence to finish it cleanly.
Get the demo from Steam
Open the official Steam store page, select the free demo, and install it through your Steam library. No extra setup is needed.
Learn the arm controls
Practice extending, positioning, and retracting your arms. Reach interactive objects from a safe distance instead of walking up to everything.
Read the level before moving
Note security coverage, narrow passages, cover spots, and your objective. The layout is part of the puzzle — plan a route rather than beelining to the target.
Approach without drawing attention
Use distance, cover, and timed movement around patrols. Let your arms interact while your body stays out of sight.
Finish the objective and exit safely
Confirm the objective registered, then retrace a low-exposure route out. Do not assume the heist ends the moment you grab the item.
Run through this before calling the demo finished:
Demo Completion Goals:
- Master extend and retract controls
- Complete the first objective without triggering an alarm
- Test at least one long-range interaction through a narrow space
- Find one alternate route around a guarded area
- Exit the level without being spotted
Core Mechanics You'll Use in Every Level
Every walkthrough section in the full game will build on the same five systems. Learn them now and the later heists get much easier.
Extendable Arms
Stretch your arms across long distances to grab, pull, and manipulate objects while your body stays hidden behind cover.
Security Evasion
Cameras, guards, and alarms punish direct movement. Read sightlines, wait for openings, and interact remotely whenever possible.
Narrow-Space Navigation
Your arms reach through gaps and around obstacles, turning confined spaces into access routes a normal thief couldn't use.
Hand Disguise
Disguising your hands (yes, including the sock trick) supports infiltration in areas where your appearance matters.
NPC Interaction
Guards and other characters are part of the puzzle. Their routines and quirks create openings — and comedic situations.
The Detective
A persistent detective pursues you across the story, escalating pressure and shaping how aggressively you can heist.
If you only master one thing before launch, make it long-range interaction from cover. Nearly every safe route in the shown gameplay relies on it.
Stealth Tips for Cleaner Heists
These tactics come directly from publicly shown gameplay principles and preview coverage, organized into a repeatable playstyle.
| Tactic | What to Do | Risk Reduction |
|---|---|---|
| Scout first | Survey security, cover, and objectives before committing | Prevents rushed, alarm-triggering moves |
| Use distance | Interact from behind cover, retract when done | Keeps your body out of watched zones |
| Avoid direct crossings | Route around monitored lines of sight | Fewer detection chances |
| Create openings | Use objects and NPC activity to change timing | Safer movement windows |
| Plan the exit | Pick your retreat route before the final grab | No panicking after the alarm risk rises |

- Stealth route examples and security evasion from official gameplay footage
Lingering after grabbing the target is the fastest way to get caught. Complete the interaction and leave immediately via your planned route.
What to Expect From the Full Release
