Heist: The Best Indie-Action Game You'll Never Play

Trapdoor, the indie developer behind sci-fi blaster Warp, has revealed a video prototype for cancelled project Heist, an impressive-looking side-scrolling action game.

"This is a demo we developed in early 2011, the game was destined for XBLA/PSN/PC," reads the video's description. "We wanted to make a side scrolling game about stealing stuff/cool gadgets. We took it further but eventually cancelled the project. What you see is running in Unreal."

The game features all sorts of mechanics from running and jumping to anti-gravity boots and disguise-rays - it looks brilliant.
