Actor Henry Cavill has launched a web-based video game called Mustache Protocol, created using an HP Googlebook 14 and its built-in artificial intelligence tools. The release arrived alongside the third and final installment of Google's behind-the-scenes video series showing the actor completing the project. The 16-bit retro title is playable on both desktop and mobile web browsers. [1][2]

Mustache Protocol spans three levels and tasks players with stopping rogue CGI artists from wiping out every mustache on Earth, referencing a meme from Mission: Impossible – Fallout. Cavill built the game's mechanics, visuals, and theme song using Googlebook features such as Antigravity, Rambler, Magic Pointer, Continue On, and BandLab to translate natural language prompts into working gameplay.

The release also serves as a charitable promotion for Movember. Google pledged to donate $11 for every game played between November 11 and November 30, up to a total of $500,000, to support men's mental health initiatives, suicide prevention, and research into prostate and testicular cancer. [2]
