About

Spy Mouse was a video game developed by Firemint for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. The game was originally released in August 2011 by Electronic Arts. Shortly after being launched, it quickly became the most popular app on the iOS App Store. On May 4, 2015, this and many other old titles were shut down by EA.

After the release of iOS 11, all 32-bit apps, including Spy Mouse, can no longer be opened and will prompt the user to uninstall it, and in late 2020, the servers for downloading the resources for SPY Mouse on Android were shut down. The game however can still be played as normal on devices with it pre-installed and on iOS 10 or earlier.

Gameplay

Mr. Squeak, also known as Agent Squeak, is a spy mouse trying to get as much cheese as possible while avoiding various cats, who will chase or harm him if he is spotted. The player uses line-drawing (similar to the game Flight Control) to direct Agent Squeak through the levels. Players travel along a path by each building as they play each subsequent level.

Cheese will slow the player down, causing them to be more vulnerable. If any one of the cats happens to catch Mr. Squeak, he will be defeated, and the player will have to start over the level or the part of the level they were on.

Reception

The game has been rated 4.5 stars on Gamezebo and was listed as #4 on their Best iPhone Games of 2011.

On Touch Arcade, the game was rated 5 stars.
