News: The first game from a new studio has arrived and it is all about hacking and saving your Android buddy.

RedDeerGames has just released its first game on the Switch that is an arcade hacking game. It is called “Cyber Protocol” and has a number of different ways for you to enjoy it. The basic premise is below:

”So, your friendly companion – Android G0X6 – really got it this time. The job went pretty badly and you can kind of say that he’s dead, if androids could be alive, to begin with. Hold up! No grieving for hack’s sake! You could access his mainframe, activate the protocol responsible for his “life” functions and get him back on his toes again. Are you up to the challenge?

I mean, it’s not an easy task as G0X6 has a hack-ton of security systems to breach if you want to get him moving again. I’d say it would be around 100 boards and many of them are full of traps and you’ll need to use different hacking tricks and mechanics to get through those puzzle-like systems. Use your brain as often as you use your skills and remember the first principle of hacking – you can challenge any problem in a number of ways.”

Repairing your Android friend is going to take a while. You can try and do it solo or you can invite your friends to play some competitive hacking games. There is also an Arcade Mode that you can go through as well as a leaderboard so you can check to see how your skills line up against the top 20 hackers from the global hacking community.

If you just want to kick back and not do anything at all you can as Cyber Protocol also offers a Music Player. You can listen to many synthwave and 8-bit tunes as you explore some of the retro themes, avatars, and sounds for your hacking interface. You can personalize it as much as you want and who knows, making small changes might even give you a fresh perspective on a puzzle you are stuck on.

Cyber Protocol is currently exclusive to the Nintendo Switch with no other mention of other platforms. The game is available now at a special launch price of $7.77 EUR/USD. That price will remain until October 12th where it will go up to the normal price of $9.99 EUR/USD. If you don’t want to buy the game now but are interested you can also add it to your Nintendo Switch wishlist so you are reminded about it later.
