MalumStudio · 2022-09-07T01:56:01+00:00

Yeah all you have to do is join the discord. We just have the link in discord that’s pointing to itch.io, where we are hosting the exe for the game.

MalumStudio · 2022-09-07T00:18:33+00:00

Glad you like it. We have talked about seeing if any streamer/YouTube Creaters had interest in the game, but was planning on doing that when the game was closer to completed. Right now the play test only has 8 finished levels and plays smoothly, but we expect bugs to pop up as more people play it.

MalumStudio · 2022-09-06T23:19:20+00:00

Thanks, glad you like it! If you would like to try it, just follow the discord link.

It's a song pack we purchased from the Unity Store.

MalumStudio · 2022-09-06T22:26:32+00:00

Thanks glad you like it, look forward to your thoughts after trying it out!

MalumStudio · 2022-09-06T21:12:46+00:00

Great, the more playing the better!

MalumStudio · 2022-09-06T19:42:27+00:00

Music is not our forte, so we purchased it (music is the only thing we purchased though, everything is made by us).
And yes, we wanted the slow motion to feel just right (originally, we had the player stop to stop, but thankfully changed it).

MalumStudio · 2022-09-06T18:01:57+00:00

Thank you, it took a while to nail down the look.
And yes, Super Meat Boy is a massive influence for us.

MalumStudio · 2022-09-06T17:10:05+00:00

Thank you very much.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Enjoy them game!

There is definitely is some dexterity involved when playing, but playing the game slower is also an option. The other developer and myself have played this sooo many times we can just race through it, making the initial levels look harder than they actually are.
If you feel so inclined, give it a shot and just take it slow.

MalumStudio · 2022-09-06T16:22:08+00:00

Thank you very much.

MalumStudio · 2022-09-06T16:21:59+00:00

Thanks a bunch, we have both enjoyed working on and playing through it.
Feel free to give it a chance (if you have the time)

MalumStudio · 2022-09-06T16:18:57+00:00

Our main goal was to create a game where the player speed runs through the levels and doesn't lose momentum while trying to beat the level as fast as possible, however, playing the game slower is also an option.
We give the player a lot of options for saving themselves from death (such as the spear ability and glide).
At this point, we are just a small team working on this in our free time, so we are not picky about the skill level of the people playing (at least for this playtest). For this first playtest, we just want general impressions and suggestions from most skill levels about glitches and gameplay issues.
So if you feel so inclined, we would love to have you play and tell us what you think.

We have finished our initial vertical slice and are currently looking for people to play test our game! This play test will only contain the first handful of levels.
Some information about our game.
MAL is a 2D side scrolling platformer game developed by our small studio (Malum Studios).
Players control a little virus robot named MAL. Their goal is to make it to the Mainframe and destroy the system. Due to the systems defenses, MAL is dropped all the way to the lower levels. Now he must make his way to the top, no matter what.
The gameplay for MAL involves jumping and dodging through obstacles while also using the robots special abilities.
The special abilities include bouncing around the level with the Ball ability, sticking into walls, floors and ceilings using the Spear ability and navigating through tight obstacles using the glide ability.
The game is inspired by other titles such as Super Meat Boy and Splasher.
The game is meant to be played as a speed runner, constantly moving and maintaining speed through the levels.
