Cyber Protocol

Great arcade game! Highly recommended if you like arcade/puzzle type games. Great synth 80’s cyberpunk vibe soundtrack too. Don’t miss out on this game!

Awesome OST, great gameplay

With the Steam Deck now a reality, I feel like Cyber Protocol deserves another shake, especially by players on the go. I can't say whether or not this will work on it, but I can't imagine it doesn't since it's simple, lightweight, and absolutely perfect for handheld. I should know because I have put crazy hours into this game on my Switch where I got it for pennies. That said, the game is still excellent even for desktop surfers looking for an excellent, mind-bogglingly challenging puzzle game. Despite looking like a Pac-Man style game wrapped in 80s neon cyberpunk robes, you'd be forgiven for immediately thinking that this is some kitschy piece of crap that cares more about its style than its play and this could not be further from the truth. In fact, forgetting the character art - it really only shows up in the intro - the game deliberately leans hard into the cyberpunk hacking aesthetic, cleverly using it to drive you nuts without feeling like anything is out of place. Let me clarify. At its base, the game is a sliding puck puzzle that you've probably encountered before where you press in one direction and the puck keeps going until it hits something. Your job, then, is to navigate 100 digital mazes as a form of 'hacking' in Cyber Protocol's retro future and at the most basic level, your goal is simply to get to the other side. This is relatively easy enough, even with all of the devious traps the developers have laid out for you, but the real challenge is to get a perfect run. The dots themselves are rather inconsequential (they're worth points, of course) as the real goal is to gather all of them before you exit... without dying. There's checkpoints, of course, and you can absolutely use them to grab all of the dots and the bonus tiles, but unless you restart your run from scratch and zip through without a single death, the game won't reward you with that badge of honor that says "Perfect" when you reach the score screen. There's two reactions to this which are perfectly valid, of course. [olist] [*] "That sounds ridiculous and I don't want to do it." [*] "No game is better than I am. I [i]need[/i] to prove that I will absolutely own the nuts out of this game!" [/olist] If you fall into that second category in some form or another, then this game will put your thinking to the test and the difficulty ramps up and up and up as the devs get trickier and trickier. Like I said before, the game leans hard into its setting and all of the traps and gadgets your puck can run into or be killed by are absolutely fitting. Laser beams, teleporters, sticky blocks, death blocks, evil walls and all sorts of other things act as perfectly normal "ICE" devices that you might have read about in old cyberpunk fiction. In reality, they are absolutely clever traps and level design elements that really test your puzzle solving skills. Sure, with enough time and trial and error, you will eventually grab that "Perfect" badge yet the endorphins that slam into your brain after solving a particularly tricky map are so satisfying regardless of how many times you tried it. For a long time now, game development has been about carrying the player ever so gently to the finish line and congratulating them with a pat on the head when they do so, but Cyber Protocol recalls the days of Us vs. Them, player vs. developer, yet not in an unfair way. It's not about stealing your quarters or selling you hint books, but it's very much about RedDeer proudly crossing their arms with each new level and challenging you to defy them. It's wonderful, it's clever, and it's an absolute brain teaser. Even having spent countless hours on the Switch, going back to the earlier levels still wracks my brain sometimes as I forget the tricks and the timing to get through each map. In my head I thought I would simply breeze by given what I've already experienced, but nope, I got hamstrung somewhere in the first 20 levels and had to go, "How in the hell did I do this before?" It's been fun revisiting this game and I highly recommend it to any puzzle enthusiast. It truly deserves more attention than it's ever had.

This game should be minigame in Cyberpunk 2077 hacking. Can anybody make a mod out of this?

Ta gra jest super. Jak ktoś lubi zręcznościowe łamigłówki to jest to gra dla niego:) 9/10

按照年份应该是绝区零走格子的原型，连老电视风格都一样😂 可太喜欢这个玩法了！！还是复古赛博风:D 竟然被我淘到这款游戏了，好欸😊

I actually discovered this game while browsing the Nintendo eShop way back then, didn't realize this game had a Steam version until I did the free demo of Zone 1 again recently, got curious to see if it was here, and now that I have a laptop, I can actually enjoy this game in its entirety! Starting things off, you'll get this very well made cinematic intro, and possibly, immediately become hooked to the 80's style synthwave music! It's always great to listen to. It's similar to the game Tomb of the Mask, where you slide around the map collecting dots and bonuses. If you enjoy puzzles and a fast paced atmosphere, and the 8bit arcade atmosphere, you'll definitely love this! If you get far enough in the game, you'll even be able to customize the themes and sounds of the game! Now, this is not an easy game, you will be murdered at basically every corner, by anything that isn't a bonus or a coin on the map, and you'll require fast reflexes and strategy by thinking ahead and planning out every move. Challenge yourself to complete each and every level perfectly, and as fast as you can! It's very satisfying to finally beat that level you were on for so long, repetition and practice is key, and by the way, you're also able to zoom in and out of the map with the spacebar. And I cannot say enough about the soundtrack, I swear, this game deserves more love and attention, it's absolutely amazing, and the game even comes with a music player that you can have running in the background, you know, to unwind after a long play session of mildly infuriating obstacles that you finally overcame =w= 11/10 game, definitely give this game a try, enjoy it :3

Pretty cool. Fast paced. You'll lose alot. It reminds me of Super Hexagon.

L'air de rien, ce petit jeu est exceptionnel ! Le gameplay est basique mais les différents éléments sont bien amenés au fur et à mesure, complexifiant de plus en plus les niveaux.... La musique electro-synth-wave colle parfaitement à l'ambiance néon-rétro-futuriste. D'autres jeux du même genre ont déjà essayé de raconter ce genre d'histoire, mais avec beaucoup moins de brio dans la réalisation. Essayez-le !!!
