Dont let Master Spy sneak past you
I could use a lot of words and phrases to describe Master Spy that, when I read them in a game’s description, tend to put me off. Retro. “Hardcore”. Brutal. Platformer. Balaclava. And yet I enjoyed it so much that I almost pitched a review a few years back. It’s tough, for sure,

New Easier Novice Mode - Now Live!
You've spoken, and we've heard - Master Spy has a new, easier Novice Mode! In this new Novice mode, we went through the code of almost every enemy and obstacle and reduced speeds and increased delays to try to create a less demanding, but still challenging game mode. We also spot

Hi all, we have a new build up in the test branch for Master Spy with a new easier Novice mode, and we'd love to have your feedback! (see below for how to test it out)
The New Novice Mode
In this new Novice mode, we went through the code of almost every enemy and obstacle and reduced speeds and increased delays to try to create a less demanding, but still challenging game mode.
We also spot checked a lot of the more demanding screens of the game, and removed or substituted obstacles that were more on the extreme side for this mode.
Additional Game Updates
The old novice mode is still intact as Operative Mode, and is still the default mode.
We also used this as an opportunity to review checkpoint placement, and we've added over 20 more checkpoints throughout the game (for Novice, Operative, and Level Select).
Additionally, we've added options in the pause menu that allow you to switch between Novice, Operative, and Narrative modes on the fly! This is so if anyone gets completely stuck on a level, they can switch to an easier difficulty just for that level so that they can continue to progress through the game. Do note that if used this will add the word "MIXED" to the final score screen next to the name of the game mode.
How to test out the new Novice Mode (you must already own Master Spy):

In your Steam Library, locate and right click on Master Spy
Select "Properties"
Click on the "Betas" tab
In the dropdown under "Select the beta you would like to opt into", select "test".
No beta code is required. You can now close the properties window and the update should automatically queue up for download.
