[ ABOUT ]

Hey, thanks for checking out INFORMASH! This is a short little Metroidvania with RPG elements.

It is 200X, and you get to explore the futuristic world of the World Wide Web! That’s WWW, for short. Go “surfing” and “browsing,” fight off warez and spamloids with your cyber gun, and earn some magic Internet money by retrieving a lost file.

Along the way, you might just get yourself entangled in a power struggle between the World Government and the Industrial Council, both of whom are after control of the Web. This ends up revolving around a certain bizarre piece of software that finds its way into your home computer. In the end, it’s up to you to decide the future of the open Web.

The game can be played in windowed mode or fullscreen, and you can change the music and sound volume in-game. You can also save and load your game. This even carries across sessions. Fancy, right?
