Growing up, I was always fascinated with the world of spies. James Bond was my hero, and I dreamed of someday working for the CIA. Well times have changed, and now that I’m older, I am no longer pursuing a life of espionage. Luckily, I now have SPY mouse to relive my childhood dreams on the iPhone. SPY mouse is a cute adventure game for all ages.

The aim of the game is very simple. Playing as a tiny mouse, the user must navigate the room to evade the cat(s) while stealing the cheese and escaping to the mouse hole. There are currently 72 great levels to challenge you, and each level is tons of fun. In each level, users can win three ribbons: one for beating the time limit, one for using a continuous path, and one for not being spotted by the cat.

I loved the cute graphics in SPY mouse. The cartoonish layout makes the game a hit with children; plus, the lack of violence makes it ideal for the young ones. Some of the levels are quite challenging, so the adults who love a good game will find SPY mouse interesting as well.

The game doesn’t end once you beat all the levels. There are currently eleven challenges available. In each challenge, you must navigate around the room, pick up the candy canes, and find your way back to the mouse’s home. In order to successfully complete the challenge, you must earn a certain amount of points. Even though there are eleven challenges right now, only five are available unless you have “Squeak Friends.” Each squeak friend unlocks three more challenge levels.

Just like any good spy challenge, SPY mouse includes a few hidden levels. Now, it wouldn’t be fun if I told you where/how to access these levels, but trust me, they are there and are ready to be found.

The simple gameplay makes SPY mouse easy for everyone to play, but the challenging levels makes it hard to put down. I didn’t like that you had to have a certain number of squeak friends to unlock all the challenge levels, but this minor pitfall does not prevent SPY mouse from being a fun and addictive game.
