Firemint’s SPY Mouse: Impressions
Downloaded SPY Mouse(99c) today.. A long time in the making, this is Firemint’s first release post their acquisition by EA (to be honest, that never struck me until I saw the loading screen).
This is best described as a line-drawing stealth puzzle game. You control Squeak, the mouse, by drawing a line on the screen just like in Flight Control. The objective is to collect all pieces of Cheese in a level, while avoiding cats who patrol the area.
Playing through a couple of levels in the game was certainly addictive – each level features 3 badges you can earn – for completing the game within a time limit, or avoiding being spotted by any cat and so on. And the graphics certainly look great.
Definitely worth the 99c asking price, considering there are about 70 levels here. Hope there is more content in the future though, like in Angry Birds. And definitely hope there’s an iPad version in the works too.
Here’s a short gameplay video:
