About

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

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?

What you see in the gameplay trailer is what you're gonna get. In that sense, you'll probably already know if this is your kind of game or not after watching it. If you want to have a good time with this game: 1: Play on Casual difficulty for your first playthrough. The only obvious difference is that it gives you infinite lives, and you will need it before you've memorized the maps. 2: Make some mappings for autofire attack and autofire dash. I've added a Steam Input profile that maps those to the left and right triggers of a gamepad. If you don't do this, the game can become mash-heavy and may be rough on your hands. 3: Do NOT choose the "No Save" mode unless you have a specific reason for doing so. In effect, No Save mode is the same as playing on the highest difficulty except you get a couple of extra lives to start with. If you've already started a file and are getting stuck in the late game, you can edit your save file with notepad. The save file is stored at: <%AppData%\MalwareRewritten\save1\save1.sav> (the save number corresponds to the position on the menu.) You can just close the game, change the lives count or the mode count with Notepad, save the file, and then launch the game again.
its pretty fun, gets more difficult the further you go into it, and it definitely has a old game feeling to it and I like that.

deleted System32 and made me install Linux. incredible game
Вполне неплохой платформер на 4-5 часов
Pretty good for a first game release. I'd recommend playing on the easiest difficulty for the infinite lives, because the narrow field of view means you'll often need to use trial and error to navigate through the levels.
controls in this game can be a pain sometimes but overall i still had fun
oops, my system crashed. i lost my data, but I had an antivirus
I played this during the beta and it was fun, now it's even better! I recommend this to anyone who enjoys platformers It's thematically charming, and a lot of love has been put into this game
