Definitely Sneaky But Not Sneaky

Major features added:

• Added Grappling; when behind another character, if you have a one-handed melee weapon, press in the right stick (or middle mouse) to grapple them. Grappled characters will be held in front of you and can be used as a shield. You move slightly (10%) slower when grappling. Press the grapple button again to release them or melee to... release them ;)
  
• Added level timer to keep track of best level time
  
• Added 4 rankings per level you can beat by getting faster times
  
• Reworked the shop costs and $$$ system by awarding 4 money per level rank
  
• Added setting: camera type - 2D. This camera type allows the camera to stay centered on some maps (I highly recommend trying this option! There is a hotkey [F3] in the controls)
  
• Bullets now collide with each other. Bullets have health equal to the number of objects they can penetrate. Bullets with higher penetration will beat smaller bullets
  
• Bullets can detonate active utilities
  
• Added the Extras menu. Extras are basically game settings you can change for different game modes/modifiers. You have to unlock extras by beating certain levels with specific loadouts:
  
• Added extra: gravity
  
• Added extra: time (this is my favorite extra)
  
• Added extra: horde mode
  
• Added extra: chaser
  
• Added extra: enemy off
  
• Added extra: player ammo
  
• Added extra: explode on death
  
• Added extra: blood type
  
• Made another pass through all levels to make them look nicer and play better
  
• New theme: stormy forest theme
  
• Added weapon: sticky pistol - shoot small sticky pellets onto surfaces then detonate them all when you reload
  
• Added weapon: frying pan - like the knife and sword had a baby; single kill melee weapon but can deflect and even block bullets!
  
• Added utility: temp shield - spawn and grapple a knife enemy
  
• Added mod: smart bullets - after a bullet kills a character, if it has any health left, it will redirect toward the nearest enemy
  
• Added mod: grapple master - while you grapple a character, they get armor (+2 health)
  
• Added mod: speed up - your movement speed is increased (+15%)
  
• Added new environment object: books - these will tank 1 bullet health and explode into pages
  
• Added new environment object: TV - some enemies might be watching the TV too closely
  
• Increased movement speed
  
• Removed sprinting
  
• Silenced pistol enemies now spawn with a grappled knife enemy
  
• Changed utility controls behavior: left/right inputs now strictly mapped to left/right utilities
  
• Utilities now have a L/R letter under them to display what side the utility is on
  
• When all players die, text saying "NOT SNEAKY" will now appear in large text and flash so it is extremely obvious you have lost. There is an option to turn this off in the settings
  
• Removed 1 level directory from each difficulty (24 levels total). Developer: I felt like there were levels that were either too similar to one another, or did not play well. Removing them hinders the difficulty curve from flattening out. The new features hopefully should be an even trade for this removal!
