The game is completely free with no advertisements, no banners, nothing. Goal: Guide Casey to the exit by collecting all required coins. There are 400+ lessons that will prepare our Hero for life in the field as a full fledged spy. - The App itself has an extensive Help section, explaining all items. - Look at the screenshots to see some items like door, transporter, etc - Difficult levels have a walkthrough video, accessible from within the app (pause screen). - If you register you get 5 skip options which allows you to skip 5 levels of your choice, when you solve a previously skipped level, you regain the skip. - When you have finished, you are ready to take on real Spy missions in Case Closed, another puzzle game.
