MicroSpy is a mix of stealth, action and puzzle. Use your wits to plan and execute complicated espionage operations. Hack or avoid security systems. Use your size as your advantage. Find hidden passages Avoid being detected by security cameras and enemy personnel. Your detection will result in self-destruction.

Review: If you have ever wanted to become a mosquito spy this is the game for you. With some great use of VR for both scale and head motion, this is a game that could have been played on a 2D screen but wouldn’t have been anywhere near as good. Sadly I do feel it is both a little short and a little overpriced. With only 3 missions there is simply not enough to justify giving this game a gold award, but it’s a good silver award game that is well worth a download if you have your VR legs (because it is highly nauseating). Who knew life as a robotic insect would have been so much fun!?
