Anyone else playing this? So far I've played on Vita only, but will probably try it on PS3 tonight. I'm not clear on if the saves sync somehow or not. Hopefully so, as otherwise I'll stick to playing on Vita (which it does play great on). It's a great, albeit pretty challenging, game. I finished the main levels in world 2 last night (not the 2 extra levels) - the "boss" level in world 2 was super tough!

Stealth Inc is a fast-paced stealth platformer featuring brutal hazards, ruthless enemies, fiendish puzzles and red pixels galore. Jump, sneak, and be chunked through 80 levels. Will you make it out alive?


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! And once you've defeated these deadly chambers (or they've defeated you), create your own fiendish death-rooms in Stealth Inc's fully-featured level editor!

Purchasing this content entitles you to both the PS3™ system and PS Vita system versions!

Yeah I'm up to world 5, played it all on my Vita, though I'm pretty sure it is cross save, I think there is a sync save button right in the top corner when you start up the game.

The game can be tough at times but I haven't really gotten too stuck yet.  I was surprised how little stealth actually plays in the game.  Feels like a puzzle game with very light stealth elements.  Which is fine but not what I expected.  

 
The stealth is in the use of shadows and, generally speaking, avoiding being spotted by lasers, robots, etc. It definitely is more of a puzzle game than anything, though. Getting S rank on many of these levels is going to be tough.

I have never played a cross-save game. Thanks for the tip about the sync save button. I will look for that.

 
I don't think I'm going to go for all the S-Ranks.  They pretty much require a near perfect run in every level, which means lots of replaying and memorizing levels.  I'm just not patient enough for that anymore haha.

 
I'm stumped by level 3-8. Did you get to that yet? Did you figure it out? I can't figure out how to get the bottom terminal hacked. A spoilered solution would be sweet. :) I used a level skip and went on, but I'd like to check that one off.

 
You have to get that walking robot all the way down to the bottom of the level, where the lower terminal is.  You do this by creating platforms for him to walk on, then remove them so he'll fall.

Once you get him to the bottom, step on the button near the bottom right of the screen, that stops the thin blue line above the robot.  Wait until it's exactly lined up with the walking robots pace and jump off.  Now the platform above is permenantly closed and you're in the dark so you can easily hack the bottom terminal while the robot is walking the other way.

Hope that made sense, let me know if it didnt.

 
Me too.  I wish it was a little longer.  I guess I could go back and S-Rank all the levels to increase replayability, but I'm just not patient enough for that.  

 
Kinda pissed I missed the preorder deal on this because the game looks fun and you guys seem to have a good time. I know its only 2 bucks off I missed, but I still am letting it hold me back (plus all the cool stuff I still got to get to on my Vita).

Before the Play titles actually released, I thought on release week, Plus members would still have access to the discount for the respective games. Disappointed that is not the case. I don't like to preorder games before impressions can hit, so I didn't jump on any of the games this year. Oh well, guess I will wait for them to go on sale again sometime.

I 100% agree. I was disappointed when I saw the 20% off was only for the week before release. There's always a concern that the game is going to be a clunker since you have to commit to buy before you get to see any impressions. Luckily Stealth Inc already had several positive reviews from its PC version so that helped. I took a gamble on Cloudberry Kingdom and that paid off. I'll be grabbing Ducktales too, that one is easier to preorder since it's a remake of an old game.

 
Grabbed Stealth Inc and Cloudberry today. Played a bit of both, but not that big of a fan of Stealth Inc. just a meh puzzle platformer.

However, Cloudberry is a fantastic platformer. Was very surprised to find out the first chapter alone was 40 levels. However, the challenges are a lot more fun than story mode by far if you ask me. (At least from what I played of story mode thus far.)

Story mode's difficulty in Cloudberry has a very slow incline.
 
I finished the game (well, the main 64 levels) last night! I thought it was a fantastic game. And I went back and started trying to S rank the levels in world one. I am not sure if I'll do all the worlds, but going for S-rank is fun, and at least in some cases is a puzzle of it's own. It's not always obvious how to get the S-rank. One important thing to note: it appears that you can't S-rank a level if you use anything other than the standard clone. Similarly getting all the items is a puzzle of it's own too.

I'll definitely be getting the DLC at some point. Sorry you didn't enjoy it as much as I did, Stryder. Maybe it will grow on you? Or maybe not. :)

I didn't get the pre-order discount either. I'm probably going to buy Cloudberry on Xbox because I have points there and we are short on cash. Plus I was able to try the demo on Xbox. That is one thing I think sucks about the PS3/Vita - you don't get demos for all download games. :( If I knew that Cloudberry was going to be cross-buy once the Vita version was out I'd be more inclined to spend some cash on the PS3 version. As it stands there's no guarantee of that and I might was well use some of my MS bucks that I already have so I can play it now without spending any cash.

 
Tonight I finally decided to try it on PS3. So I sync to cloud on the vita and then sync on the PS3 ... and all my progress is there *except* for S-ranks. Wha??? Even the found cards or whatever they are are there, but not the S-ranks. Well that sucks. That's what I've been working on. Anyone get those to sync? If this doesn't work then I'm stuck playing on Vita. Which isn't terrible, mind you. Still, I'd like it to work.

I noticed that all the level ranks are "0". Hopefully this is just a bug they can fix.

Got all S ranks in world 1 and unlocked that extra level. Only tried it once and then starting looking for the Helixes. Some of them are easy enough, but I sure can't find the one in 1-3. There's at least one youtube video on where it is, but I'm trying to find it without that first. But I'm close to giving up. :)

I emailed their support to ask about the cross-save problem, but I'm not sure it's the right email address. It's for Stealth Bastard (PC version). May not be the same team. Maybe they can point me in the right direction in any case.
