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.

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.

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

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.
