Introduction

Spy Mouse is a stealth puzzle game that has you playing the role of a mouse attempting to gather cheese right out from under the nose of pesky cats. The objective is simple, gather the cheese and get to the exit of the level without being caught by the cats or falling victim to other obstacles like mouse traps. Each level has three challenges to complete which give the the game some re-playability beyond just collecting the cheese unscathed. Currently the game is listed at $2.99 in the Windows Phone Store.

 

Step 1: Complete all three goals on all of the levels and get the boss achievements

Play through all of the levels, starting from the beginning, completing all three goals on each level. The three goals do not need to be earned simultaneously so this task is not as overwhelming as it may seem. You will also need to find and unlock all secret and hidden levels as you must complete the goals on them as well. In addition, each of the six boss levels have an achievement that you can earn for gathering all of the cheese crumbs and disarming all the traps. Completing these two tasks will unlock all but the two miscellaneous achievements, "Philanthropist" and "Behind the Scenes," which can easily be earned in a few minutes.

 

Step 2: Mop-up

Mop-up any remaining achievements you may have missed. This should be very few.

 

Conclusion

Spy Mouse offers some unique stealth gameplay in a lonely genre for the Xbox Windows Phone platform. There are not many guides available for the game, so you cant always take the easy way out. With a little patience and dedication, you will have your 200 gamerscore!

Find a secret level

 

This achievement requires that you find a secret level. Secret levels are found on the level selection screen by drawing a path for your mouse to reach their masked location. There are 7 secret levels in the game. Their locations are detailed below. Once you find a secret level, select and load the level to unlock this achievement.

 

  1. 1-S: From the area half-way between levels 1-7 and 1-8, draw a path down.
  2. 2-S: From level 2-Boss, draw a path to the left.
  3. 3-S: From level 3-H1, draw a path down and to the right.
  4. 4-S1: From level 4-7, draw a path up and to the left.
  5. 4-S2: From level 4-9, draw a path straight down.
  6. 5-S: From level 5-7, draw a path to the left.

Find a hidden level

 

This achievement requires that you find a hidden level. Hidden levels are unlocked by entering a crack in the wall. From that room you need to enter another crack in the wall. In this second crack area, there will be an exit that will complete the level for you and also unlock a hidden level once you return to the level-selection screen. There are 5 hidden levels in the game. Their locations are detailed below. Simply unlocking a hidden level will pop this achievement.

 

  1. 3-H1: Load up level 3-2. Go into the crack in the top left corner of the first area by the two crumbs. In this next area, go out the crack in the top left, just to the right of the lantern. In the final area, follow the path to the yellow door.
  2. 3-H2: Load up level 3-8. Go into the crack in the top middle, just to the left of the silver door. In this next area, draw a path directly into the lantern. In the final area, follow the path and exit the yellow door.
  3. 5-H1: Load up level 5-2. Go into the crack in the middle left edge of the room, just below the balloon. In this next area, draw a path directly into the garbage can in the top right corner of the room. In the final area, exit through the yellow door.
  4. 6-H1: Load up level 6-2. Go into the crack just to the right of the safe door. In this exit area, use the chili and enter the crack in the top right corner of the room when the cat is not looking. In the final area, exit through the yellow door.
  5. 6-H2: Load up level 6-8. Go into the crack just to the right of the framed picture of cheese on the wall (right half of room). In the next area, maneuver past the ghost cats and enter the crack in the bottom right corner of the lower area. The crack is concealed in some cob webs. In the final area, enter the yellow door.

Complete 20 levels without being seen by Cats

 

This achievement requires that you complete 20 different levels without getting spotted by any cats. This is probably most easily done on the first two worlds where the levels are rather straight forward and simple. This will unlock while you are attempting to complete all of the goals in the game because there are more than 20 levels that require you to complete them without being spotted. See "Super Achiever" for help to not get spotted.

Have 25 pieces of cheese stolen

 

This achievement requires that you have 25 pieces of cheese stolen and is cumulative across all levels and replays of levels. Certain cats (white ones with black stripes) will be more interested in stealing your cheese that killing you. They will take cheese from those that you are carrying and deliver it to a predetermined locations (shown as a paw print on the floor). The first level that has cats that actually steal cheese is level 5-3. Load up that level. There are 18 pieces of cheese and 3 cheese-stealing cats. Just run around with at least one balloon and as many cheeses as you can carry letting the cats constantly steal the cheese. They can still kill you but they will be more focused on the cheese. This achievement will most certainly unlock while trying to complete all three goals on every level, but use the method above to quickly earn it.

Complete 6-Boss With All Cheese Crumbs Collected and Traps Disarmed

 

These achievements require that you complete each of the 6 boss levels in the game while collecting all crumbs and disarming all the traps. Boss levels consist of a panning screen that is following a white cat that is walking along a set path. You must be quick to grab all the cheese crumbs and also pick up the toy mice and use them to disarm any mouse traps. If the white Cat spots you or the panning screen catches up with you and traps you, the level will be failed. The boss levels are short and have a few checkpoints, so failing is not a major concern. The boss levels are fairly simple and often give you lots of power-ups to use. Once you collect everything in sight and the white cat exits through the large door, draw a path through the same door. If you got everything, the achievement will pop immediately. To actually finish the boss level, you must complete the next room as well (this is not required for achievements).

 

NOTE: You can run into a bit of a glitch during the 6-Boss level which will actually make earning this achievement impossible to do. It has to do with the way the cats spawn and the locations of the cheese. If you run into this problem, reload the level and follow the following advice adapted from a post by gamer Krivcha. Start fresh on the level (pause and hit retry if you are stuck). In the first large room with the ghost cat, collect all the crumbs and then wait near the exit of the room (dont go out). Stand in such a way in the room that the panning screening will push you into the next area. Here you will get a checkpoint. Once you get to the cannon area, run up and let the white cat spot you. You will reload at the previous checkpoint by the cannon. You should now be able to move forward and complete the level without the worry of poorly spawned cats preventing the collection of all the crumbs.

Achieve all three Goals in every Level

 

These achievements require that you complete all three goals in every level of the game, including all the secret and hidden levels. Each level has three goals to complete, which are objectives that you must satisfy. Goals can only be viewed from the pause menu (tap the button in the top right corner of screen while in a level) or in the level completion screen. Example goals are completing a level within a certain time limit, without using power-ups, by only entering holes a given amount of times, without getting spotted, or causing cats to smack into walls. The good thing about goals is that you can complete each one on a separate playthrough of the level (i.e. they do not all need to be done simultaneously). Most of the goals are easy, but a few here and there can be frustrating and will give you trouble. For levels that have safe holes, use them to your advantage. They basically act as checkpoints. For example, if you are working towards the goal of not being spotted and you enter a save hole, exit the hole and get spotted and die, you will respawn back at your save point and can continue working towards not getting spotted. Some levels have two parts (they seem like they should be two levels) and when you enter the second part of the level you will also get a checkpoint.

 

There is no complete guide for the game out there as most guides just show you how to complete the level, which is always simpler and easier than doing so while completing any of goals. Below I have compiled a listing of helpful images, strategies, and videos that you might find useful as you progress through the game.

 

There are XX regular levels, 7 secret levels, and 5 hidden levels, for a total of XX levels. Boss levels do not have goals so dont worry about them (though they each have their own achievement). See "Easy Way Out" and "Explorer Mouse" for the locations of the hidden and secret levels as they contribute to these achievements as well. From the level-selection screen, you can tell which levels you have already completed all three goals on as the dot for those levels will have a blue and white badge on it. Earning all three goals on all the levels will unlock these three achievements.
