Fancy Factory recently revealed in our forums that the next game that they are working on is one inspired by the 80’s computer game Spy vs. Spy. Spy vs. Spy was first published in 1984. Agents! takes the same idea and applies it to the iPhone.
The basic concept behind Agents! is to search the rooms of a building for some secret documents. Of course you are not alone. Another Agent (from the other…the bad side ) is looking for the documents as well. In Agents! the opponent will be a NPC (single player mode) or another player (multipayer). When encountering the other guy its up to you: run or fight. Several weapons (with limited ammo you have to find first) will make this task good fun.
Here’s an early video with non-final graphics/UI:

The real fun of the original version was the split-screen mode where you played against another person. One of your main weapons against the other player was setting booby traps that would be triggered against opening doors or drawers. But you weren’t without your own defenses — most traps could be disarmed with a simple tool. For example, guns triggered by strings could be disabled with a pair of scissors, while Acid buckets could be avoided with an umbrella.
We didn’t see much in the way of traps in the early video, but Fancy Factory reassured us that this key feature will be in the game.
