* MismatchedAtomicExpressionism: Used throughout the credits, and even in the game itself to some degree. This is less surprising when you realize the creative team from ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'' were behing both works.

''[=CounterSpy=]'' is a side-scrolling StealthBasedGame developed by Dynamighty and published by [[Creator/SonyInteractiveEntertainment Sony Computer Entertainment]] for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3, UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, and UsefulNotes/PlayStationVita in August of 2014, with [[UsefulNotes/IOSGames iOS]] and UsefulNotes/{{Android|Games}} versions following one month later. In it, the player takes control of the unnamed and generally unidentified C.O.U.N.T.E.R Agent as he makes his way through the USA and Russia's military bases hunting for intel about the side's nuclear launches and subsequently trying to find a way to stop them. Should things get rough, you can always TakeCover and pick off your aggressors one by one. But the main threat is each side's DEFCON rating. Suspicious guards radioing in, cameras spotting you and dying will all increase the DEFCON rating. If it increases past 1... well, [[ExactTimeToFailure you should probably hurry]]...

Reception doesn't go on main pages. Also, Useful Notes are not tropes.

The game was met with fairly average to positive reviews. A lot of them criticised the gameplay, such as the procedural generation of environments and guards, as well as the [[ItsShortSoItSucks short length]], but praised the artstyle, soundtrack and general presentation that paid homage to [[TheSixties 60s]] spy flicks.

* UsefulNotes/ColdWar: The game is set in an alternate version of it.
* DefconFive: The (correctly used) main threat in the game. It goes down to a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 1 depending on how much the side you're on knows about you. You can lower it by forcing officers in white to surrender. If it gets above 1, then the nuclear countdown starts, and you have to rush to the end of the level in a minute to shut off the nukes. If the timer expires, the game's over. So, you know... don't let the DEFCON get too high.

It's the time of the UsefulNotes/ColdWar. The Superpowers are at one another's throats and both sides threaten to fire a nuclear strike at the moon in the constant bid to outdo one another. But at the middle of it all is C.O.U.N.T.E.R, who is working to put a stop to the nuclear launch plans on both sides and with it, the consequences of said nuclear strike.
