NEON PROTOCOL — TEST BUILD

You're a tiny antivirus deep inside a dying server. Hundreds of viruses are coming. Your weapons fire on their own: you move, dodge and collect.

Each level-up, pick one upgrade out of three. Sometimes one is CORRUPTED: twice as strong, with a nasty flaw. The more you corrupt, the more the game breaks (glitches, mutating enemies, pop-ups, blue screen) and the higher your score climbs, up to x5.

CONTROLS

- Move: WASD / ZQSD / arrows, hold the mouse, or drag your finger (mobile)

- Weapons fire automatically

- Pick a card: 1 / 2 / 3 or click

- Pause: Esc or P (pause button on mobile)

- Mute: M

- Gamepad supported

THIS IS A TEST VERSION

- Browser: Sector 1 demo, playable right here

- Android (APK), Windows and Linux: full game (3 sectors + Endless mode)

- Linux build has not been tested yet

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU (in the comments)

- Was it fun? Did you want "one more run"?

- Too easy / too hard? Where did you die?

- How far did you push the Corruption?

- Any bug, freeze or performance issue (tell us your device)

Contains flashing lights and glitch effects: they can be turned off in Options.

Install instructions

ANDROID (APK)

1. Download the .apk on your phone.

2. Open it. Android will ask to allow installs from this source: allow it.

3. Install, then launch NEON PROTOCOL. Play in landscape.

Already installed an older test version? Just install over it.

WINDOWS (portable .exe)

No installation: download and double-click.

Windows SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC" because the game isn't signed yet: click "More info" then "Run anyway".

Your saves are kept between versions.

LINUX (.tar.gz) — not tested yet

Extract the archive, then run the "neon-protocol" file inside the folder (make it executable if needed: chmod +x neon-protocol).

BROWSER

Nothing to install: click "Run game" on this page. Works best in Chrome, Edge or Firefox. Use the fullscreen button at the bottom right.
