STEALTH GAMEPLAY
Superior stealth is the key to Tom Tom success. When
you’re out to steal treasure, the best approach is to
sneak up on it, especially when there are Guard
Sweepers around. It’s hard to sneak past those vigilant
cats, but it’s all part of a Tom Tom’s normal day!
So how do you get past the Guard Sweepers? There are
plenty of ways for a tricky pig to do it:
Stay out of sight! Sneak around corners, creep
along walls, keep a low profile by crawling—
whatever it takes to avoid detection.
Take cover! Hide behind anything big enough to
keep you from being spotted. Crates, low walls,
and other kinds of cover will keep you safe from
the Guard Sweepers’ searchlights.
Wait for the right moment to move. Guard
Sweepers are creatures of habit. Keep an eye on
them, and you’ll figure out how and when to make
your move. For example, sometimes they take a
break to stretch, or the little dummies turn to
salute their leader or go inside to report. That’s
your chance to sneak right past them!
Distract the guards’ attention. One way is by
turning off the lights—while they’re checking the
switch, go on your way. Or you can fire a rocket to
excite the guards, who will investigate while you
sneak past. You get the idea!
Disable Time Sweeper surveillance cameras or
lights. The cats have cameras watching for your
approach. If they detect you, they’ll attack! If
you’ve got a ranged weapon, then use it to destroy
the lights or the camera.
Keep yourself and your weapons quiet! Of course,
shooting cameras or guards makes noise, and that’s
another way to get caught. It might be good to go
to the Shop and buy a silencer!
Don’t forget your Space Controls! They provide
ways to disappear from one place and reappear in
another, or to become invisible and move around
without the guards knowing you’re there. For more
information on Space Controls, see the next page.
