Curve Studios, the indie developer behind <em>Fluidity </em>and the newly-on-PC action-platformer <em>Explodemon</em>, have just released their retro stealth game <em>Stealth Bastard</em> for free.</p>
<p>
Described as a mashup between <em>Metal Gear Solid </em>and <em>Super Meat Boy</em>, <em>Stealth Bastard</em> features 28 levels of 2D sneaking goodness. Even though you’ll occasionally wind up waiting for a robot or camera to turn away from you, the levels do move briskly. They’re also relatively short, which means having to retry one after failure rarely feels like a chore. And you’ll need to replay them several times if you want to nab a good spot on the leaderboards.</p>
<p>
The slick SNES-era retro aesthetic suit the stealth-puzzle gameplay well, with bold lighting schemes dynamically transforming the levels as you progress. Instructions pop up on walls à la the most recent <em>Splinter Cell</em>, though they’re a bit more fourth wall-breaking than Sam Fisher’s inner monologue.</p>
<p>
<em>Stealth Bastard</em> is a shockingly robust package for the low price of zero dollars. It even features a built-in level editor, and user-created levels are already available for download. The only major bummer is that its release is currently limited to Windows. That said, assuming you don’t mind seeing an ad for <em>Explodemon </em>upon exiting the game, you should give <em>Stealth Bastard</em> a try pronto. </p>
