Commando Protocol

Retro run-and-gun for two

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.

Halloween only: GRAVEYARD SHIFT, a cartridge of zombies, witches and the Headless Horseman. On the shelf until November 4 - then gone for good. The Ashen Legion holds the Serra Verde valley. Behind it lies a jungle base - and something they dug out of the hills. Then it lands in Manhattan. Commando Protocol sends in one operative. Run, jump and shoot your way through two missions and eight stages of 8-bit action, built in the spirit of the arcade classics: tight controls, fast enemies, big bosses, and no mercy. OPERATION JUNGLE - Landing Zone: fight across a storm-lit valley to the gate of the Legion's base. - Site Nine: inside the base - floor traps, ceiling guns and the defense core. - The River Fort: a gunship duel on top of a dam at dawn. - The Dig: down into the excavation pit to face the Obelisk - then run before it caves in. DEFENSE OF NEW YORK - Hold the Square: keep Times Square open until the last evacuation bus is gone. - The Tunnel: run the subway under Broadway with something coming down the tracks behind you. - The Convoy: escort the last truck of refugees across the Brooklyn Bridge. - The Last Floor: climb a skyscraper - stairs or the lift shaft - to the spire of the Obelisk. MADE FOR YOUR HANDS - On iPhone: a field unit in your palm - a thumbstick (or a rocking cross pad, your choice) and lit A and B buttons right under your thumbs, upright or sideways. - On iPhone Duo: open it and the big screen becomes a tabletop arcade - the picture above the hinge, a control panel with a ball-top stick below. Turn it sideways for an arcade monitor with a CRT look. - Or pick up any game controller: the touch controls step aside while you play with one. PLAY YOUR WAY - Machine gun, spread, flame and laser, plus rapid fire, barrier and airstrike pickups. - Three difficulty levels. Checkpoints along the long stages. - Game Center high scores: one table across all missions at each difficulty. - Also on Apple TV, with two players on one screen. NEW MISSIONS ON CARTRIDGES The game's missions come on cartridges. New cartridges are added from time to time - they appear on the CARTRIDGE shelf in the menu, with no update of the game needed. Old-school hard. Every life counts.

The Halloween event: open GRAVEYARD SHIFT straight from its event on the App Store - the game starts on the cartridge shelf at the haunted cartridge, or with it already in the slot if it's yours.
