Agent A, your new mission has just arrived from headquarters. As usual destroy this transmission once received. This mission is of the utmost importance so get to it effective immediately.

MISSION:
Ruby La Rouge. Known enemy spy and perilous predator has been targeting our secret agents. Your mission is to find and capture this vindictive vixen. She’s been on our radar for some time now, however intel revealing her motivations is unclear.

We need you to follow Ruby, then locate and infiltrate her secret lair. Once inside it is imperative that you uncover her plans.

From the creators of Tasty Tadpoles comes ‘Agent A: A puzzle in disguise’, a spy themed puzzle game for smart phones, tablets and erm… Shoephones?!

You play as Agent A, your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to infiltrate the secret hideout of Ruby La Rouge and apprehend or neutralise the target.

Explore a labyrinth of perplexing puzzles in this quirky game of cat and mouse that’ll have you wondering whether you’re the cat… or the mouse!!

Notice something strange or out of place? Making mental notes and observations (like a good secret agent) will aid you in solving tricky puzzles later on. As you explore Rubys secret hideout, collecting objects and using them cleverly is crucial in unlocking a trail of puzzles leading you ever closer to your target!

Agent A features:
* Stylish 1960’s inspired art
* 15 rooms to explore, 30 inventory based puzzles and 20 puzzle screens

Updated on June 26th, 2017, but new chapters still haven't been ported. I am going to keep subtracting stars because the next chapters haven't been ported to Android yet, but exist on iOS. I'm not pleased with that turn of events. However. I love the visual style, the voices are perfect, and everything except the thumbprint-scanner puzzle (yak-hak) is fair & logical. That one puzzle, though.. Wow, I almost took away a star because of it, but managed to get it done after taking a break from the game. Anyway, great job!!!!!

The story was more interesting than the puzzles. The reflex driven puzzle at the end was random and unnecessary. I guess the developers tried to add a level of difficulty and extend my playtime by 5 minutes in a not so fun way. I enjoyed the beginning but by the end it seemed like a chore. I would only recommend this game to novice puzzlers due to its simplicity. If you're looking for a challenge, it is not here. If you're into visual novels, this may be the game for you.

Sylvain Dicaire June 25, 2017

Really enjoyed the game although it bugged me when what had been a great puzzle game turned into a game of ability when using the hacker kit. I managed to break through after numerous attempt but I still hate that part. Also, many times I was taken back to the previous view without my clicking on the back arrow. The game control and playability are not very intuitive and do not always work the way one would expect but other than that, the game is absolutely perfect. I loved it.

Paul Winstone February 18, 2017

A late 50's, early 60's visual style puzzler. Some clever & occasionally original ideas that kept me fairly occupied; a good price too. It loses stars for 3 reasons, though. The irritating yak-hak puzzle which after around a couple of 100 attempts, I still couldn't do, not having a map to easily find the area u want, instead of wandering everywhere looking for the right room, & on my Moto G, the inventory area is positioned at where I exit, sites, emails, apps etc. & was therefore constantly exiting the game when selecting from it.

Corey Martin December 28, 2016

Great, but could be a little more 4.5 out of 5 I really like the first part of this game. Insomuch I was highly anticipating the next part to be released. My chief knock on first part was that there was a little bit of blasphemy about the "God of water" comment. I also wish that there was a little bit more character development and story. However since they do a much better job than the non dialogue stories of escaping games I thought this was definitely a big improvement against competition . Also I like the cell animation and the voice overs.

Melissa H January 7, 2017

Got this on whim and I was absolutely delighted by this puzzle game! It seems a sort of "escape the room" game but rather than escaping or blindly clicking around you are trying to pursue someone. The only reason this hasn't received full five stars is because of the "to be continued" ending, which in turn is apparently a step up from what I gleaned post-purchase. I loved the artwork, the voice actors were great, and I had fun for about an hour from start to finish.

Have wanted to play this since PAX AUS 2015 Just finished Agent A: A puzzle in disguise. I played half way through this game at PAX last year but it only just became available for Android. Now I don't normally recommend mobile games but this one reminded me of Carmen San Diego and other old school 90s puzzle games that I played as a kid. Anyhow the art is really quite pretty and the game runs so smoothly for a mobile game. It's a Melbourne based game company too... And yeah they did a fantastic job. I loved it and I can't wait for the next part!

Cassie Francis November 14, 2016

Fantastic! It's great to have a puzzle game with logical answers! The gameplay was smooth and engaging, very responsive and I really like that you do not have to solve any mathematical puzzles to progress! (I hate those types!) The only thing I would say is that I would have loved some puzzles which utilised gyroscopes to find an answer or to view something hidden for example. Either way, it's a great game! Keep up the fantastic work because I am so excited for the next chapter! :D

Chrystal Miller November 3, 2016

Awesome game! It's clever and challenging without being overly difficult and frustrating. It also has a really nice look and feel to it. A lot of times these kinds of games can be dark and cluttered but this one is very clean and crisp. I think my only complaint is probably that I finished it so quickly. Not that the game itself was too short, I just couldn't put it down so I finished it in one sitting. It's very well made and completely worth the price. I can't wait for the next one! Great job, guys! Keep em coming!

Elias Gatsis November 11, 2016

A very well polished game. This is one of the most polished games I have ever played on android.The graphics and sound compliment the spy theme very well and are just excellent. The puzzles are not easy nor hard but they enough to make you think about what to do next.I cannot wait for more content.

Asher Tan June 24, 2017

Picked it up during the discount period. Fantastic gameplay and graphics with an underlying creative concept to it. My only gripe with it is that it's way too short. But really great job devs.

William Crawford November 27, 2016

Very well done! I'm looking forward to the next chapters, and future games from this company. :) My one complaint would be how long it takes to get from place to place while doing things. It's not *that* bad, but perhaps a map with a quick-movement system would make the game play a little nicer.

Sven Leswell April 28, 2017

Excellent 3D enviroments, love the art style. Simple puzzles but often having to solve multiple at a time, keeping track of each is the challenge. Only issue I had was with frame rates but that well just be my phone model. But no other technical issues. Can't wait to see more.

Alex Fox November 15, 2016

So short I saw a trailer for this months ago and have been looking forward to playing it ever since, I finally get to play it and it's over in no time. This is a good game that could be great if it was twice as long. Bit of an anticlimax really.

Calean Sixes January 18, 2017

It kept me going alright as when I started i had to finish, but it was rather short as a game let alone some of the mechanic were very annoying (having to click to move back and fourth so mamy times). It's a great game yes but it's not there just yet. Even ur "Finish Agent A under 30 minute's" achievement shows how little and lacking ur game really is.

Mike Cheel January 1, 2017

Great game These types of games are either super frustrating because nothing really tied together (think machinarium) or are cohesive where using common sense and logic come into play (think limbo). This is the latter. My only complaint is on my phone the items on the left overlap my phone controls and I end up opening them every now and again which is annoying. Still giving 5 stars.

Troy Dalton June 20, 2017

Short and pretty easy. Not worth the price of admission (unless they plan on expanding it). I'd get a refund, if I could. My 4 year old granddaughter and I solved it in a couple hours.

sosilly2me October 30, 2016

Great Puzzle Game Enjoyed a great story, no dark fantasy with ghosts and demons. Great puzzles. Loved the setting, graphics and sound. Only wish it was longer.It's getting harder to find this level of product. I'm looking forward to the next one. Thank you!

Gina Ho June 16, 2017

Love the graphics, storyline was great, wasn't too easy nor extremely difficult to solve. If there's any room for improvement i'd love to have a hint button when im stuck and unable to proceed. Was also a little disappointed by the ending as i thought it'll be another chapter. Hopefully there'll be more chapters soon, can't wait to see how the story goes.

Lpsluckysushi xoxoxo June 19, 2017

This game is like a pack of oreos, you want to do it all in one sitting! So addictive! Fun and not too challenging. Music and graphics made me absorb the game rather than skim it. Unlike escape room type puzzles, it challenges you to keep track of puzzles instead of completing one at a time. Love it!

Paul Mabbs November 22, 2016

Great game, but... The YakHak bit isn't a puzzle - it's blind luck as to if you get the last number right. Maybe I'll come back to the game once I forget how much I hate that "puzzle"...

Christine Truong March 13, 2017

I met the two man show at PAX East in Boston this year and got to test out the game there for the first time. The artwork and illustrations really caught my eye as I passed by. Needless to say, I really enjoyed this puzzle escape room feel game. For $2.49, it really is a steal!

Manas Pradhan June 4, 2017

The first game I ever paid for. Totally worth it. Though there are some some bugs. The cut scenes are black half of the time. So I had to skip the intro and missed how Ruby killed the chief.

Jennie Sanders May 16, 2017

This game is sooooooo addicting I NEEEEEEEDDDD MMMOOORRREEE! Love the Carmen San Diego feel brings back memories, but please please give the update with the continuation, my son and I each downloaded the game to our tablets and we finished it in one sitting we each competed the missions in a different order that was cool, he found things and completed sections I hadn't and vice a versa. I agree with another person who mentioned the thumb print challenge that was a tough one that stupid 5 comes way to fast then you have to start all over uggghh. That's the only one my 9 year old couldn't complete on his own other than that this is a magnificent game we are feigning for more!!!

Abhishek Chaudhary November 20, 2016

Awesome game it is! I always look for challenging puzzle games and tumbled upon this game while searching for a good one and tell you what.. This one is absolutely a treat! It's so difficult to wait for the next chapter now. Awesome work, guys!!!

Muhd Khair June 18, 2017

Absolutely great game with stunning visuals and art with great voice actors and storyline. There are different levels of difficulty in the puzzles but none are that are too hard imo. Would give 5 stars when the new chapters are released to android.

Mario G November 9, 2016

Too much zooming I just started the game and had to stop because of the annoying amount of zooming and backing out you have to do. Clicking on something once should be enough to get the proper view. I shouldn't have to click on it 3 times. Please fix this.

Adam Noonan June 9, 2017

Don't bother wasting your money. They haven't updated the game since it was released. They keep updating iOS version and leave the Android to rot. AVOID IT!!! Good game if all you want is one chapter.

Sean G November 4, 2016

So many point and click puzzle games try to be cool by making obtuse clues. This game does it logical puzzles logically. Nothing insane. The art is crisp and beautiful. Totally know what I am doing this weekend.

Stephen Frost January 16, 2017

Great puzzle game. Not too hard. This game has a nice selection of puzzles, which are well-designed. They are challenging but also very fair. You won't get frustrated. The story is relatively simple but there's enough there to keep you interested and wanting to see where things go.

February 21, 2017

Great game. Does not have an ending. Dev. Says ending due late 2016. If you are reading this and about to pay and download the game.....wait until it's complete. Frustrating as it's a really great game that just hangs without an ending. For that 3 stars. 5 when learn to make a hamburger and include the bun.

Pilot Haggard November 20, 2016

Hate "Speed" Puzzles Brain puzzles, thinking puzzles, fine. Puzzles that require "beat the clock" are beyond the skills of some people, like me. I cannot complete this game because I can't hit a spinning wheel at just the right moment to stop it. I HATE puzzles like this. If there is a work around please post it. Otherwise, I'm done. I've tried for an hour. This has nothing to do with one's ability to reason out a solution, and is exactly why I don't play shooter type games. SO DISAPPOINTED.

Edrine April 29, 2017

There are no help. I do not know what to do, When I click on the question mark it just takes me to there Facebook and I don't find help there too. Please help instead of directing me to Facebook. I got stuck on a word that says "no time to waste, I'll go in and trap the fox' and I don't know what t OK do because it just doing nothing

Li Yang December 3, 2016

Easily one of the best Puzzle games After the room series are becoming more and more complex, this game gives you slightly easier puzzles with much more fluid gaming experience, which makes you think how to solve the puzzles instead of randomly clicking around. The humor in the game is a great addition. Really looking forward to the new chapter.

Dirk November 19, 2016

I don't really like escape games, but bought this one because the style looked great. Enjoyed it. A bit short though, looking forward to ť new mission.
