The Mastermind

The Mastermind is a single player spy game where you play as the mastermind behind a spy infiltration. Help the agent to complete the mission and save the world!

Instructions (there are also instructions included in-game):

• You can press any key or click to advance text.
• The goal of each level is shown with a green arrow pointing to it before the level starts. The agent needs to reach this goal to complete the level.
• Before starting each level, you can place crates to help the agent sneak past the enemy guards.
• Press the GO button to begin playing the level.
• During the level, you can give the agent directions on where to go by clicking on the screen.
• In later levels, you unlock powerups. Each one has a different effect.
  • When you select the smoke bomb or decoy doll, you then have to click where you want to deploy it. The shield and quickfire effects are equipped instantly.
  • Shield: lets the agent tank a hit.
  • Smoke bomb: blocks the enemies' sight.
  • Decoy doll: distracts enemies for a short time.
  • Quickdraw: makes the agent turn faster, to win fights better.
  • Tips:
    • Enemies can only be distracted by the decoy doll one time per attempt at the level.
    • The agent can only have 1 shield at a time.
    • Quickdraw does not stack.
• The agent will battle enemies automatically. Whoever turns and aims at their opponent first will win the fight.
