Only push.
This port and Hotline Miami on Vita are so quick to instantaneously reload and reset... it's great. I haven't gotten hooked on trying to leaderboard like this since Motorstorm RC. Only thing I wish is that there was a friend score filter.
I still have #1 in a lot of the 2-X levels, and I thought I set unbeatable times in some of the 1-X levels, but I was pushed back down today. I think when more people pick this up, there will be crazy completion times.

I have this on Steam from a bundle a while back, I should try it, looks fun!
It's 9.99 in the EU but the DLC is free.

Yeah, I sometimes have to throw it on flight mode when I'm trying to play Pinball Arcade somewhere with no wifi. It speeds up the process, but it'd be nice if it just stopped the check completely.
Yep. Stuff like this and Hotline Miami really nail it. If youre going to have a reset heavy game, make it so that the resets arent even noticeable. They get it so right.
Super Meat Boy did it too.
Whats even better on this one is if you hit the select button it will reset the stage completely. Its good for me because the moment I die I reset it because I want to ace the levels as much as possible first time through, though there are a few building up that I just could not ace on the first go.

Yeah, I've only complete the 1-1 to 1-9 and 2-1 to 2-9, but 2-8 and 2-9... I had to just screw up and try to figure out by going through it to completion before trying to reset and get it perfect piece by piece.
I imagine everything else in the game is about to get ridiculous.
Same question. I found the helix in 1-1 & 1-3 but nothing in 1-2 despite the small size of the level.
Oh, and something about the vita version for the developpers if somehow they read this topic: let the fu**ing of us play offline tranquilly. I play in the subway this morning, I start a level, connection attempt, I finish a level 1mn later, connection attempt, new level, connection attempt...It's not the only game to do that, and that just plain stupid.

Go to Settings and turn on Airplane mode. Should also save up some battery power I believe.
I don't want to have to change my Vita conf each time I'm out/back home. Some games manage that perfectly: after a failed attempt, they keep you offline until you choose (via the option menu, etc...) to connect again. It's just good sense.
No wonder... I went back to get S-rank in the first area using the camouflage clone. I was wondering why I was only getting A-rank
Yes, there is a helix on every level even thre locked stages

Were they not allowed to call it Stealth Bastard on the store?

Looks interesting, but an awful lot like Monaco and that's putting me off somewhat.
Has anyone played both? Are they at all similar in terms of gameplay?

Totally different games. Stealth inc has nothing to do with bank robberies, has no MP or different classes. It's a stealth based puzzle game.

Thanks. Hmm, looks like I've just found my next game purchase.
As is mentioned above, Monaco is a multiplayer topdown stealth/action game, while Stealth Bastard/Inc. is a singleplayer sidescrolling stealth puzzle/platformer.
Agreed. I tried both PS3 and vita versions and preferred the vita one in this case.
Also, i finished the 2nd world yesterday and had a lot of fun. Can't wait to continue. A nice suprise and a neat puzzle/platform game.

The Teleporter Chambers DLC is also on Vita.
It was $7.99 for PS+ members in NA through pre-ordering, and the DLC is free in EU for the first week. I have it on Steam already, but I bought it on PSN and am finally playing it... a lot.

Thanks, the screens in the OP threw me a little as looking almost identical to Monaco, but having watched some gameplay footage, I can seen it's very, very different. Bought on the Store, now I just need to start the download when I get home and hope it doesn't eat up too much of my time tonight.
One last question, how does it compare to Mark of the Ninja?
I think its pretty different from MOTK. This is a stage based stealth puzzler/platformer with an emphasis on speed while MOTK is more of a traditional stealth game that emphasized the slower, methodical approach..or at least thats how I approached that game.
"Stealth, Inc" is so dumb but "A Clone in the Dark" is awesome. Id actually prefer it if they just called it that.
I like how its a play on "Alone in the Dark". At least thats how I see it.
I dont know why they added "Stealth, Inc". Didnt they have a user suggestion contest for it? I wonder who came up with that.
Me too but it is a perfect portable game.
A few times now, I got stumped and I sat there staring at the screen and wonder wtf Im supposed to do. Minutes later, the solution jumps out and you feel like such an idiot.

Thanks. Sounds great. Now I really can't wait to get home and play it.

Bought for the Vita!
The instant restarts is essential on these type of games, fortunately Velocity Ultra is the same in that regard.
Played through the first 8 tests last night. very enjoyable and I can see I'm going to spend quite some time with it. Another game that fits the Vita perfectly.

This game is pretty cool on PC. It is entirely a puzzle platformer though. But it is a seriously sharp and snappy one.

Yeah yeah, I know that feeling, where the lack of load makes it feel more like a "fun game!" and less like a real experience that you've got to deal with even if things go wrong and a whole lot less like a chore...
I've already been kicked out of almost every leaderboard on sector 1 and 2 =(
UK price in OP is incorrect. Actual price is £7.99
Might hold off for a while if there are 2 more DLCs coming already. Maybe a full pack at a reasonable sale, looks good though, will be sure to want all of it.
Guess I'm spoiled by the sales. PSN and PS+ can be good but whenever steam sales hit... Civ V Gold for 50p less than vanilla stealth inc... I've put in about 30 hours already.
Unfortunate timing hah, for all new digital games really.

Picked this up yesterday and loving it. I've only played through the first three areas (not bothering to S rank anything just now), but it's already pretty tough!
I assume you need to complete each area with each costume to unlock the next costume for use in that area?

Don't forget you get the current DLC for free if you buy within the first two weeks.
I'm not sure, because I've been unlocking them while S ranking missions and I've been using the default suit this whole time.
I unlocked the second suit (
) after beating the first boss but noticed it wasn't available to use, so I went back to the first area and I could select it there. Same now for the second and third areas.
I assume the same is for each subsequent costume, but I haven't actually gone back and used it yet so I'm not sure.
