MALWARE Rewritten turns 1!
Today one year ago we released our first game, I didn't know time could fly this fast!
Crunching the final push 3 days before release, drowning in embarassment from minor bugs ([strike]which we immediately rushed to fix[/strike]), it was surely an experience to remember and learn from!
Happy birthday MALWARE Rewritten!
You can now try out the original
MALWARE demo build from 2017! It's raw, it's unfinished, it's... horrible! But everyone starts from somewhere, right?
Either way, stay tuned, as we aren't done just yet...

Discord server[ 2024-03-03 12:58:54 CET ] [ Original post ] Patch 1.0.5MALWARE Rewritten patch 1.0.5 has been released.
- Added autofire.
- Changed difficulty text (CASUAL->NORMAL, NORMAL->HARD, HARD->EXTREME)
- (Hopefully) Covered some various spots around areas that would cause the player to get out of bounds.
- Player's life counter now resets back to 3 on (Now HARD) difficulty at the start if each level in case if they have less.
- Added some gravity reset areas around levels with inverted gravity to prevent players from going to irrelevant areas.
- Fixed player dying because of a "collision" with beams when they shouldn't collide.
After some thinking, the game is indeed way more enjoyable to play on casual than it is on "normal" mode, while normal difficulty was the intended way to play, it heavily relied on the player already knowing what to do and, was kind of hard because of that. Figuring it was kind of, wrong, the difficulty names have been changed so that casual difficulty is now THE normal difficulty to start with.
And a reminder, there are no bonuses for playing on different difficulties, and no achievements tied to them too.
[ 2023-11-16 18:03:51 CET ] [ Original post ] Patch 1.0.4MALWARE Rewritten patch 1.0.4 has been released.
- Fixed capsule dropping enemy crashing the game.
- Fixed big data not correctly counting towards the data counter if they're picked up with a dash.
- Fixed window size setting being set to 1x by default.
- Fixed inability to turn around if the player jumps in a 1 tile gap.
- Added more background variants for each stage.
- Minor tile fixes on Stage 3 levels.
While this detail was planned as an addition for the release, it was ultimately a low priority task. But now, stages have a slightly wider variety of backgrounds and stage 3 got it's own set of backgrounds too.
Also, the original Stage 1 background from MALWARE 2017 has been returned from the dead.
[ 2023-11-13 12:48:16 CET ] [ Original post ] Patch 1.0.3MALWARE Rewritten patch 1.0.3 has been released.

- Fixed "No Save" mode not decreasing lives count when restarting the game in the pause menu.
- Fixed a bug that did not allow casual difficulty players to restart the level in certain cases.
- Fixed some text in the prologue cutscene.
- Fixed some levels simply not having a termination barrier.
- Minor tile fixes on Stage 3 levels.
- Minor UI improvements.
- "No Save" slot has been moved to the end of the save slot row to not confuse new players.
- A time limit for a level has been increased from 10 minutes to 15 minutes.
[ 2023-11-08 22:30:25 CET ] [ Original post ] Patch 1.0.2MALWARE Rewritten patch 1.0.2 has been released.
- Fixed poor implementation of some Steam achievement scripts.
- Various minor tile fixes on some game levels.
[ 2023-11-07 21:28:12 CET ] [ Original post ] Malware Rewritten is a retro-looking action platformer where you are a virus sent into a computer system to destroy everything you see and gather data on the way.
You warp on a level, find a key for each gate that is blocking your way, and find Datapacks if you can. With every level, levels themselves get progressively more complex as each time, something new appears, which also includes new enemies you may encounter. But sometimes, a big mean antivirus may block your way to stop you from going further. With every boss you beat, you get better upgrades that make you even stronger and deadlier.
Malware Rewritten features:
-Classic platformer mechanics!
-3 different starting difficulties that decide if your death will be a permanent one, or won't matter at all!
-Large levels to dash through!
-Classic bossfights with distinctive set of attacks!
-Datapack collectibles that are scattered around the level! (might find future use)
-3 different powerups you get after defeating minibosses!
MINIMAL SETUP- Processor: 1.2 GHz or better
- Graphics: 256 MB or better
- Storage: 30 MB available spaceAdditional Notes: be sure you have libcrypto.so.1.0.0 & lib32-openssl
