You can now play Henry Cavill’s ‘Mustache Protocol’ game made on Googlebook [U]

Henry Cavill has created a retro-style video game called "Mustache Protocol" using Googlebook, the company announced. The 16-bit game features three levels and can be played on both desktop and mobile devices. Players will enjoy "hilarious power-ups and Easter eggs" throughout their gameplay.

In support of Movember, every game played during the period from November 11 to 30 will result in Google donating $11 to the cause, with a total potential donation of up to $500,000. The game's concept revolves around stopping rogue CGI artists from erasing every mustache on the planet, embracing the Mission: Impossible – Fallout meme.

Director Henry Cavill utilized Google Antigravity and other AI tools on the HP Googlebook 14 to translate natural language prompts into functional 16-bit game mechanics. Although the game is not yet available, Google will donate $11 for each play during November as part of a collaboration with Movember. The donations will support men's mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer, with a ceiling of $500,000.

In the meantime, a three-part series detailing Cavill's design process, meme-inspired superpowers, and soundtrack can be found on 9to5Google's YouTube channel.
