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 involves Henry trying to escape the prison in discreet.

Plot

Retrieving a File from the mysterious cake Henry Stickmin 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. This however alerts Rupert Price, who charges at the escaping prisoner, leaving Henry with little 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...)
• Click! (left) - Henry uses the metal bar to strike Rupert, knocking him unconscious.

The strike alerts Dave Panpa, who also rushes towards Henry.

• [X] Timeout - If time runs out, Dave 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, killing him. (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. Henry barely survives the fall, but is killed shortly afterwards 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. 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.)
• Plungers - Using a twin set of plungers, Henry is able to safely make his way down.

Henry runs into the sunset after making his escape.

Trivia

• Clicking the sun in this ending will reward you with the BRAAAAAGH achievement.
  • This is referenced in the goodball fail during Stealing the Diamond, and the Easy Achievement in Fleeing the Complex.
• Despite being called a "Sneaky Escapist", Henry is still noticed by everyone who appears during this path.
• If you fail on the either Quick Time Event, you go back to the first one.

  • John Farn
  • John Grits
  • Johm Barley
  • Jon Sascachawean

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.
