The story

You are RB-29 "Arbee", a field instructor droid. The retired G.E.E.K. mentors brief you from the ship's bridge, Alpha Beta is your training find, and the N.U.L.L. Swarm is what you are up against.

How to get it today

Version 1.0 is a downloadable build for approved testers. Email a short paragraph about yourself and why you would like to test, and you get a personal login for the private tester area. The download is about 430 MB, installs as a sideload, and updates itself in one tap from then on.

Phones supervised through Google Family Link, or by a school or workplace, often block installs from outside Google Play. That is the device manager, not the phone.

Google Play

The 1.0 build is signed and headed for Google Play: Rated for everyone 13 and up, no in-app purchases, and one optional rewarded ad, the rescue transmission. When the listing opens, the store link goes here and on the mission brief.
