GDC: Agent Squeek Hands On

Firemint has today announce Agent Squeek, the next  iOS game from the creators of Flight Control and Real Racing…

The game will launch in 2011 and promises to deliver Firemint’s usual quality, polish and addictive gameplay.

You play as Agent Squeek, a dashing and debonair undercover mouse, in a spy-inspired tale of intrigue, stealth and misplaced cheese! You must outsmart felines foes and crack fiendish challenges! Sneak, sprint and strategize in your quest to save every precious piece of missing cheese.

Update:

During the hands on with Firemint, Matt and I played through 9-10 levels of their newest game Agent Sqeek.  The smooth gameplay and visuals show that Firemint wasn’t wasting time during their 2 year development of the game.  The goal of the game is to collect wedges of cheese from a house, and then make your escape through a mouse hole.  The player does so by drawing a path with their finger for Agent Squeek to follow.  Unfortunately, getting the cheese isn’t always an easy job.  There are numerous cats who are always vigilant on putting a stop to your cheesy rampage.  Once spotted, a cat will charge and try to eat you.  Agent Squeek must use power-ups, as well as multiple mouse holes to outwit the cats, get the cheese, and then make like Michael Jackson and beat it!

Even after 2 years, Firemint isn’t sure of a release date or a price.  Their idea of a “product in development” seemed nearly finished to me.  I only played the first “world,” which ended in a boss level.  To get clues of the boss’ dastardly plans, Agent Squeek must defeat levels and collect pieces of blueprints that eventually reveals a super weapon that is used in the boss level.  These blueprints also give hints on how to beat defeat each boss.  So far, the game is looking great. We hope to have more on this promising looking game soon. In the meantime, Firemint have set up a Facebook page for the game here
