About the Game

MALWARE Rewritten is a retro-styled action platformer, brought to you in a bright neon finish.

OBJECTIVE // DESTROY

You are a virus sent into the cyberspace with a single primary objective: Destroy and corrupt anything that comes your way, and if possible, gather valuable data scattered around.

With every stage, the levels get progressively more complex, challenging, and introduce new obstacles to block your way.

FEATURES

  • Fast-paced platforming action! Dash through various areas of the cyberspace, leaving destruction in your wake.

  • The system will not give up without a fight, face a variety of enemies and defeat powerful bosses that dare to stand in your way.

  • Unlock new abilities and increase your strength with each defeated boss, quickly adapting to their strategies.

  • Collect hidden data around the levels, smaller ones unlocking alternate colors, with larger data playing a bigger role later on.

  • Retro-inspired neon aesthetic and classic platformer mechanics, bringing an arcade feel to your library.

Will you be able to become the strongest virus?
