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 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 Updates

- The old novice mode is still intact as Operative Mode, and is the default mode.

- If you had a saved game in progress, it will not be effected but the name will change to reflect whether it is the new Novice mode or Operative 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.
