"Hey, he's escaping!"
Carlos Burdt[src]

Sneaky Escapist, originally named the Sneaky Ending in the flash version of the game, is one of three endings to the game Escaping the Prison.

It is the middle ground of EtP, being harder than "Lawyered Up" but much easier than "Badass Bust Out".


Plot

Retrieving a File from the mysterious cake Henry received from the guards, he locates two ports of exit from the cell.

  • [X] Window - Henry saws off a metal bar obstructing the window opening. He climbs into the opening, but then falls to his death outside the prison. (Message: Protip: Look before you leap.)
  • Cell Door - A metal bar which makes up part of the cell door is sawed off by Henry using the file.

Henry leaves his cell while holding the bar, alerting Rupert Price. The police officer then charges at the escaping prisoner, leaving Henry limited time to act:

  • [X] Timeout - If time runs out, Rupert kicks Henry to the ground knocking him out. (Message: You've got the reflexes of a statue... Hint: You can defend yourself by tapping the alert.)
  • Click! (left) - Henry uses the metal bar to whack Rupert Price down to the ground.

This alerts Dave Panpa.

  • [X] Timeout - If time runs out, Dave Panpa uses his taser on Henry, which causes him to drop the metal bar. (Message: Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you! There's another guard coming!)
  • Click! (right) - Henry uses the metal bar to attack Dave Panpa before he is able to use his taser on him.

With both police officers down and out, Henry heads to the elevator, but two police officers (Str8 Shoota and Carlos Burdt) who were already on it notice him escaping. Henry then locks himself in a closet, where he finds two objects:

  • [X] Belt of Grenades - Pulling off a grenade from the bandolier, Henry briefly opens the door and chucks it at the officers, intending on blowing them up. However, the grenade bounces back into the closet before Henry closes the door, and explodes. (Message: Uhh... I don't even know what to say about that one...)
  • Chair - Henry uses a chair to enter a vent above him. The vent is two-way.
    • [X] Left - Crawling to the left, Henry overhears several police officers in a meeting about more donuts. Soon after, the underside of the vent collapses, bringing Henry right into the meeting. The officers immediately apprehend him. (Message: Fatty.)
    • Right - Crawling to the right, Henry is able to reach the roof of the prison.

Henry locates a wooden crate on the roof. Inside, he finds a tool which would help him escape from the high-rise penitentiary.

  • [X] Rope - Henry uses a rope to descend to the ground, but the friction between his bare hands and the rope eventually rope burns him and Henry drops to the ground. He is able to survive the landing, but is soon killed when he is struck by a speeding money truck. (Message: This seems awfully familiar...)
  • [X] Parachute - Henry straps on the parachute and drops from the building. When he attempts to deploy it, all that comes out are a bunch of random objects. Falling flat on the sand, Henry survives, but is immediately killed when a bowling ball stored in the "parachute" slams into his head. (Message: I think that was just a regular backpack. See what happens when you assume?)
  • [X] Jetpack - Henry attempts to use the jetpack to fly out of the prison, but the engines initially shorten out. (Message: Wow...That was the lamest things I've ever seen. The animator must have gotten REALLY lazy or something. I mean honestly that was probably the dumbest FAIL I've seen in this entire game! (movie!) So anyway, what do you think about the game (movie) so far? Enjoying it? It's taken quite a while and as I'm typing this it has yet to be completed. I doubt you'll be able to read this far down unless you figure out a way to pause or do some other sneaky thing. Laaaammmmeee!) After an initial fail screen, the jetpack begins to propel Henry into the air; however, he is unable to control his course, and ends up crash-landing in the exact same cell he was locked up in while the bar is being replaced. (Message: It takes many hours of Jetpack training before you're able to operate one.)[1]
  • Plungers - Using a twin set of plungers, Henry is able to scale down the wall of the prison safely and stealthily.

Now a free man, Henry runs off into the sunset, and far away from the prison he once was locked up in.

Trivia

References

Worms

After firing one of the grenades and ducking into the door, Henry shouts "What the?!" before the grenade explodes. This could be a reference to Worms and how a worm will usually scream if a bomb lands next to him. Notably, Worms is one of PuffballsUnited's favorite games, and all the sound clips from Crossing the Pit were taken from it.

Breaking the Bank

The armored truck Henry gets run over by after using the Rope option appears to be the same one that drove him inside The Bank, and therefore, to his arrest. According to PuffballsUnited, the fail message is a reference to the Shovel in the legacy version of BtB, which ended with Henry getting hit by a train.

Coca-Cola

A bottle of Coke can be seen falling out of the "Parachute" when Henry falls down.

Shoop Da Whoop

Clicking on the sun in this ending causes it to grow eyes and a mouth and shoot a laser while going BRAAAAAGH! This is a reference the popular Shoop Da Whoop meme, which originated from an edited image of Cell from Dragon Ball Z. Shoop Da Whoop would later appear in some fashion in every other Henry Stickmin game and is almost always found by clicking on the sun (or the moon in Fleeing the Complex) in an ending.

Notes

  1. Fake fail message: "Wow... That was the lamest thing I've ever seen. The animator must have gotten REALLY lazy or something. I mean honestly that was probably the dumbest FAIL I've seen in this entire movie! So anyway, what do you think about the movie so far? Enjoying it? It's taken quite a while, and as I'm typing this it has yet to be completed. I doubt you'll be able to read this far down unless you figure out a way to pause or do some other sneaky thing. Laaaammmeee!" In the remastered version, the old fail sound still plays on the fake fail, and every time it said "movie", it gets replaced with "game".

Easter Egg

During the end credits for the Sneaky Escapist" pathway, Shoop da Whoop is hidden in the sun. Clicking the sun reveals his face, after which he fires a laser at the fleeing Henry Stickmin, and died, having the Achievement "BRAAAGH!". There will appear the "Next" button which leads to Stealing the Diamond episode.
