Welcome to the world of Trash Quest – a pixel art platformer in which your task will be to fight your way through the maze of the space station rooms by defeating numerous enemies with the help of collected power-ups.

TIME TO START A GAME
The action takes place on board of Deliverance space station. While the crew is ready for a long journey to Tau Ceti, being settled in their cryo pods, the AI on the ship, during system check has detected uninvited guest.

Aaand yes, it’s a small, filthy raccoon with a simple purpose in life – to collect as much trash as he can. But this time his task won’t be that easy since defense systems don’t allow to take another passenger on the trip.


INCREASING DIFFICULTIES
Trash Quest delivers exactly what you expect  – a short, intense, and tight platforming experience. The game’s world is divided into four zones, each with its own visual and musical theme, and the player has to traverse them by collecting upgrades and discovering new shortcuts on the map.

This is crucial for your mission because, in classic Metroidvania style, you can’t reach certain places unless you’ve upgraded yourself with the required ability. Like for example double or triple jump. 

IT WON’T BE EASY
The progression in the game saves automatically. BUT… there’s only one single spawn location where you reappear every time you die. Do not worry, any power-ups, abilities, or shortcuts you’ve unlocked will remain.

AAAAND PIXEL ART!
A tribute to retro games Trash Quest features pixel art graphics and a unique soundtrack inspired by classic video games that are sure to catch retro gaming enthusiasts’ attention.

  • Metroidvania platformer with zero checkpoints

BEGIN YOUR TRASH QUEST
Trash Quest takes place on the space station Deliverance. The crew has just begun prep work for the long trip to Tau Ceti. The AI has been activated, and it’s performing a quick system check, but that’s not what you care about…

PLAY AS A RACCOON 
You play as a raccoon, not concerned with the complex defense systems, a raccoon that only cares about getting its filthy hands on the station’s trash, which is what this fluffy creature loves the most in this space adventure. 



BATTLE ENEMIES 
Explore an interconnected maze of space station’s rooms as you smash nasty robots and face strong bosses. As the game goes on, the difficulty of battling enemies steadily increases, but the more familiar you become with the mechanics, the easier it is to defeat them. 

ZERO CHECKPOINTS    
The progression in the game saves automatically. There’s only one single spawn location where you reappear every time you die. But any power-ups, abilities, or shortcuts you’ve unlocked will remain.

ATTENTION! CYBER BANK HAS JUST BEEN HACKED! We know the winners of two Cyber Protocol contests

The old-school arcade game Cyber Protocol has never been so intense. In December, the best of the best compete with each other, battling through deadly levels and trying to get the highest high score—and $1000! Meanwhile, those who wanted to share their impressions could win a PlayStation 5.

We thank all participants for their engagement! Below is the list of winners and a little surprise.

#CyberProtocolWOW

Wondering what the first impression of Cyber Protocol players was? Now you can find them on Twitter under the hashtag #CyberProtocolWOW.

In this contest we asked players to complete the first level of Cyber Protocol and tweet the first words that came to mind after finishing it. The prize was a PlayStation 5.

And the winner is… @gsimo625.

Thank you for your comment about the game:

#HighScore in Cyber Protocol

The second contest was inspired by the old days—like the whole game—where high scores actually mattered. We decided to bring back the tradition and reward the best players in the world with cash prizes.

To take part in the contest, you had to write on Twitter or Facebook a post „I’m competing for the #highScore in Cyber Protocol game” and play in the „TOP 20 Global Ranking” mode.

The competition ended on December 31, 2020 at 23:59 GMT.

Here is the list of winners:

1st place: VSIMCO ($1000)

2nd place: JENERGY ($200)

3rd place: HEIKAI ($100)

#unexpectedMessage

Although sinister corporations are relentless in their attempt to take total control of communications, we managed to contact the best player in the world!

We bring you the transcript of an interview with the winner of the #HighScore in Cyber Protocol contest.

BARTEK, REDDEERGAMES: How many hours have you played Cyber Protocol in total?

VSIMCO: This is actually a tough question to answer since I played the game on all the platforms it has released on (Xbox One, Switch, Steam). Xbox One ~ 50 hours (first version I played), Switch ~ 4 hours (have not beaten it yet), Steam ~ 460 hours (though I guess leaving arcade mode paused overnight would have that effect).

After such time you can probably judge it fairly. What do you think is the best thing about Cyber Protocol?

My favorite part of Cyber Protocol is definitely the interesting mazes – and finding the optimal path through those mazes. 

A lot of logical puzzles require mostly just a lot of thinking. Cyber Protocol adds the challenge of timing in combination with the logical deduction needed to solve the mazes which gives it a unique flare. 

There are similar games to Cyber Protocol out there – Cyber Protocol keeps things relatively simple for the player (you go up, down, right, left), the complexity and variation is all external  to the player and shows up in the puzzle itself – I liked that simplicity – you do not need anything external to the game itself to solve a puzzle. 

The combination of logical thinking, arcade timing, and no external knowledge needed are the best things about Cyber Protocol.  

Did you plan to win 1000$?

No. My goal for the Steam version was to be able to beat the game in less than <10 lives (23 lives for the winning run) – I did not achieve that goal – but will probably come back to the game. The longest I went without dying was actually around 50 stages.

Around December I thought I had a good chance of winning the competition so my focus went from not dying to finding consistent speed run paths through the game. Consistency is important in a run which is going to last 2-3 hours going through 100 levels where one small mistake could kill you – and using checkpoints takes up time which eats up your score. 

How will you spend 1000 dollars?

Upgrading my gaming setup.

Thanks again to all the participants. Follow our Twitter account @gamesreddeer to stay up to date with all the competitions!

Get carried away by synthwave! Soundtrack of the cyberpunk arcade game Cyber Protocol is now available for free

If you want to feel like a hacker immersed in the retro futuristic world of megacorporations, androids and mysterious floppy disks, this music will help you. Note: it can cause nostalgia for old arcade games.

For Fun & Fans
The music from the Cyber Protocol was very well received by the players. Because of words such as „The soundtrack is absolutely amazing” (Emlyn In The Mix) or „I’m just jamming to the music, it’s so good” (Sunny Gaming) we shared the soundtrack outside the game.

Where Can You Listen?
Almost everywhere. You’ll find the soundtrack on: Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Instagram & Facebook, TikTok & Resso, Google Play & YouTube Music, Amazon, Soundtrack by Twitch, Pandora, Deezer, Tidal, Napster, iHeartRadio, ClaroMusica, Saavn, Anghami, KKBox, NetEase, Tencent, Triller, MediaNet.

Dating Simulator: Nirvana Pilot Yume, 18+ scifi dating simulator, is now available on Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X

Welcome to 3080. There are only two things that count in the abyss of space: killing speed and crazy love. You can find both in Nirvana Pilot Yume, a game combining s-f, racing and 18+ dating simulator. The game is available on Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X.

Meet Yume
In a world where the barrier of the Speed of Light has been broken and the war is gone, the Great Ultrathought Race of the Universe is the most important event—it’s during this race the cities of Orbital City make the most important decisions.

Yume, a young, ambitious girl, wants to become a Nirvana Pilot at all costs. Only they are capable of running Ultrathought Spaceships. However, Yume needs a second crew member, Eye.

That’s why she enters your life without hesitation and asks for help. After all, before the tragic accident that ended your career, you were the best of the best. Do you dare to take part in the race, Eye Aldaine?

Start an affair
During the game you will have a chance not only to take first prize in the most important race of the universe, but also to win someone’s heart. Meet the characters of Nirvana Pilot Yume, make a relationship and let yourself be taken by the cosmic adventure.

An engaging story
The game includes 12 story events with multiple paths and 4 different story endings. It also doesn’t avoid scenes only for adults… and they make sense. The whole is inspired by retrowave anime.

Racing in a retro style
Take part in 11 races inspired by games from 1993. Gameplay and stylized low-poly graphics will take you back in time, and the crazy metalwave soundtrack created by Retröxx will turn your emotions upside down.

You can also race freely outside the storyline in Arcade Mode.

After the great success on Nintendo Switch, where the game is available since March 2020, Nirvana Pilot Yume goes into the hands of Xbox owners  So get ready to fly—the race starts on December 18th on Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X!
