Trilby: The Art of Theft - Mission 6, Trilby Rank, 3:57

Well, so much for the whole "might be a while before I post another one" thing :)

And now, after playing my favourite level, I move on to my least favourite level. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice change of pace the first time you play it, but it's probably the hardest level in the game. And it features something way worse than that button mashing sequence from mission 4 - that inane addition problem at the start of the level which you have to repeat everytime you mess up. Calling it a puzzle wouldn't be right - it's just punishment for failing the mission. Punishment in the form of addition. Bad Yahtzee. Bad.

Trilby: The Art of Theft is a new game by Zero Punctuation author and prominent Indie Game designer Yahtzee. You can find out all the details here:

i dont understand the part of the codes how am i suppose to crack it?

I really suck at puzzles so it would be great if you could tell me

[ChaoticHarmonyEcho]

Just add all three numbers together.

[Tilanol]

Do the outfits do anything or do they just look cool?

[ChaoticHarmonyEcho]

Some of the later ones are very useful - if you get an overall A ranking in all the levels you receive the "rain suit", which makes you invisible in mid lighting and allows you to hide in full light by wall hug. And apparently you get one for Trilby Ranking the bonus level that removes the end level conditions, allowing you to trigger as many alarms as you want letting you use the tazer whenever you want.

Nice job.

[ChaoticHarmonyEcho]

Thank you!

So, have you gotten the welding minigame yet? Isn't it ace? :)

[rossmallo]

Nope. Just press up when you get in the car.

[TheGangVideos]

They're on drugs

[Arsheerek]

You mentiouned overall A ranking in all levels, you mean, all levels separate or 8th heist with 1-7 levels. And did you managed to complete 8th heist with lazy sunday?

[Jonatron101]

I must have never got that skill.

Does it have a vague description?

[dungeondude]

you're supposed to get the electrician skill

[chanchan773]

meh, maybe Yatzee will make another and make it better.

[RyanandBran]

You have to write it down or memorise it. It's a gameplay flaw.

[RyanandBran]

It's not difficult, it's irritating.

[VGatsV]

What's the MATH question anyway? I'm just given three numbers.

MATHEMATICALLY ILLITERATE CHILDREN CAN NO LONGER ENJOY TRILBY!

[Evidemment]

Those are irrelevant. The focus of the game is stealth -- avoiding being seen. Whether the jumping or wall-hugging is well-animated on a 2D pixelated game doesn't concern me. You fall from greater heights in Portal, and no one minds.

What bothers me is the focus of the game -- stealth -- is poorly represented when someone can see you in bright light and watch you go through a door, and not immediately call an alarm. Don't get me wrong, it's still a great game, I just hate that part of it.

[radishrancher]

I'm surprised you haven't commented on the guards passing between you and the wall while wall-hugging. Not to mention Trilby is constantly dropping from the ceiling, sometimes from multiple storeys up. You'd think that'd be a bit noisy... or lethal. Oh, and have you noticed he can see several rooms at once? It's like the guy's got x-ray vision or something! Games aren't supposed to be a perfect reconstruction of reality, they're supposed to be fun.

[radishrancher]

If you mean the "menace to society" suit, you only need to Trilby rank missions 1-7. I've got it and I haven't managed to get a Trilby rank on the bonus level yet (I keep missing loot...).

Also, rain suit + into shadow is pure ownage.
