Google has partnered with actor Henry Cavill to create a new 16-bit video game titled Mustache Protocol, developed directly on a Googlebook. In a playful nod to his past films, the game tasks players with stopping rogue CGI artists from erasing every mustache on the planet. For every play during the month of November once it launches, Google pledges to donate $11, up to a maximum of $500,000, to support men's mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.

To highlight its new hardware platform, Google released a video series demonstrating how the game was assembled on an HP Googlebook 14. According to Google, Cavill organized concepts with Rambler, arranged visual assets using Magic Pointer, and switched between an Android phone and the laptop with Continue On. The actor also used Google Antigravity and artificial intelligence tools to convert natural language prompts into working 16-bit gameplay mechanics. [2]
