Dear Un-Muters, After a productive Early Access stage, "Mutated Muter's Invasion" has now been feature-updated to transition to full release! Players can now enjoy all the long-planned features. During Early Access, many improvements and updates had been happening, of which not all were possible to cover in announcements. This includes both internal improvements to the code (e.g. to improve performance) and visible changes (e.g. balancing the gameplay more). "Mutated Muter's Invasion" had also got Steam Cloud saves and Steam Achievements. Now here is a quick summary of what is up with this big update:
- More levels: The set of levels is now as originally planned. That's right, there are now more levels!
- More secrets: In the levels, there are now more places to hunt for that are not immediately obvious, from truly "secret" to more or less "secret". Such places can be quite rewarding to find and give you useful items, so have fun exploring!
- More mechanics: They will not let you get bored! Look for them especially in the new levels!
- More power-up and item types: For example, the "super crescendo"; some are in the secret places mentioned above.
- 4 more Steam Achievements, totaling 35: One of them is for finding a secret place that can be dangerous to discover.

Imagine a world without something that is everywhere in our everyday lives... Not only does music sound at concerts, parties, and other events, but it also follows you while you are watching TV or a video on the Internet, driving, or maybe even jogging or on your way somewhere with earbuds on. Although there do exist games that are based on music as a video game genre, there seems to be a lack of (if any at all) games that are NOT music-based genre-wise yet are wholly ABOUT music, especially saving music, as a subject. So, the idea of "Mutated Muter's Invasion" was born.
This game's idea is to provide a mostly 2D platforming action experience, often loosely described as "Mario-esque", while focusing on music as the main subject. Some side-scrolling shooter levels are also present. Fight the Mutated Muter's agents at different locations/levels stylized as music scores with some fancy mechanics and collect sharps, flats, naturals, clefs, and other power-ups and useful items in the fancy universe of "Mutated Muter's Invasion"! Shoot un-muting sonic bullets and super sonic bullets, avoid the muting weapons of the enemies, and more. And, of course, punish the overconfident Muter himself!
WARNING: the game is HARD! Choosing the "expert" mode right away is highly discouraged.
One (but not the only!) challenge is timings, which are as important here as if you actually were a performer learning a musical piece... Bad timings will cause you to fall down into the abyss or take hits. Other dangers await the player too, even where things may look nice and relaxing. It's not only the mobs who are nasty and sinister... Even some platforms will try to trick you!
