Stealth games are awesome. Hiding from The Man, skulking in shadows, the thrill of infiltration. But why do they have to be so... slow?

That was the question that spawned Stealth Bastard, the fast-paced, nail-biting antidote to tippy-toed sneaking simulators that the world had so desperately been craving. Now, building on the ideas sketched out in this unholy marriage of deft, wall-hugging stealthiness and insane break-neck platforming, we're proud to bring you the bigger, better, shinier Stealth Bastard Deluxe.

Armed with only your wits and a pair of top of the range Stealthing Goggles, it's your job to sneak your way through a deadly facility that's determined to extinguish your fragile little life. With no weapons and no armour, being seen means instant death. Stay out of the light to avoid the attention of deadly security robots! Leap like a lusty salmon to avoid those zap-happy lasers! Think fast as the walls close in around you! Only the fastest and sneakiest will make it to the exit without being mangled by the facility's security systems. Will you be among them?

Stealth Bastard Deluxe is the commercial version of the free prototype Stealth Bastard: Tactical Espionage Arsehole. Just like the original title it is a platform game based around stealth. The player controls a clone inside a facility and needs to complete levels by remaining undetected. Cameras and robots with lasers can generally be avoided by staying in the shadows. The clone's goggles are green when it is safe, but they turn red when in danger and that usually leads to instant death. There are blind hunters who only react to sounds and levels filled with floors that produce noise when pressured. Just like titles as Super Meat Boy levels are generally not meant to be completed in a single go, but require multiple tries to figure out the patterns.

The puzzle elements require quick timing and the manipulation of switches, teleporters and doors, along with platform jumping and pushing objects. Terminals can be hacked to progress, but this takes time and often requires the clone to lure a sentry away. This version introduces new types of gadgets such as a camouflage suite (limited, charged invisibility), deploying a regular decoy or a sonic decoy, antilight and teleporters. The 28 version of the original game are replaced by 80 levels that are entirely new. They are set inside a facility divided into distinct areas. Just like the original game a level editor is included to create and share levels. Custom levels created with the original version are carried over.
