Metal Gear X is five screens of stealth action inspired by the Metal Gear Solid games, complete with avoiding cameras and spotlights, using cigarettes to see security lasers, and on-site procurement. This mode was an enormous roadblock, no thanks to some squirrely code and collision detection -- it's a crapshoot whether some cameras will see you or not even when hugging the wall, and it took me far too long to realise you could shoot out the spotlights instead of having to weave between them...!
You seem to acquire the cardboard box upon entering screen 4 or 5, which I assume is how you get the gas mask -- I just cheated to get it because getting to that point was already tricky enough (the camera and lasers on screen 2 are shockingly precise obstacles), and the thought of having to backtrack was too much. Still, neat ideas, even if the execution is a bit wonky.

Super Raynio Kart is standard Clickteam vehicle engine fare, though it does have decent enemy AI and even weapons to play with. I beat the mode totally on accident, making it perhaps the easiest mode in the game!

Arcade Mode is a wave-based survival mode, with enemies flooding in from all corners and increasing in number and variety with every wave. Weapons and score items spawn in random locations at consistent intervals, but often in the range of the fiery border... or in plain view, but I can't see them in time because the arena is such an eyesore. I could never get past wave 12 despite all my efforts, but I'd like to see what people's high scores are!

I've never been able to figure out if the Cheats screen functions properly or not -- beating the side modes claims new cheats are unlocked, but despite the instructions I can't seem to change anything in there or in-game. The Closet appears to be just for fun as far as I can tell, with no bearing on gameplay.
