How to Play Stealth Inc

Learn the core mechanics of Stealth Inc! Master ledge grabbing, crouching, and the essential slingshot jump to navigate tricky levels and find hidden collectibles.

Alright, let's get you started with the absolute basics of how to actually play Stealth Inc. Think of this as your quick-start guide to not immediately getting yourself vaporized. We'll cover the main moves you'll be using constantly.

Ledge Grabbing

You'll find that most ledges in the game are grabbable. This is super important! Once you grab onto a ledge, you can do a few things: hang there, pull yourself up (just press 'up'), drop down (press 'down' or your crouch button), or jump off. To jump off, you'll want to press in the opposite direction you're facing to 'reach out', then hit jump to go where you were aiming. Be careful though – if you're moving too fast or misjudge a jump, you might not grab the ledge properly and could fall to your doom. It happens to the best of us!

Crouching

Crouching is your best friend for staying hidden and getting through tight spots. Hold down the crouch button, and you can move left or right to sneak through narrow gaps. The trade-off? You move slower while crouched, so pick your moments.

The Slingshot Jump

This one's a bit more advanced but absolutely crucial later on. If you press the jump button while moving upwards on a lift, you'll get a massive boost from the lift's momentum added to your jump. This lets you reach heights you wouldn't normally be able to. While you might not need it right away, mastering the slingshot jump is key for tackling later levels and finding all those sneaky hidden Helices.
