Our take on Project MALLOW
Rather than centering combat or open-world exploration, this platformer makes launching and sticking the main way to cross stages. Level completion also feeds into factory exploration, linking puzzle progression to the discovery of secrets about the factory and its history.
What is Project MALLOW?
Project MALLOW is a 2D puzzle platformer in which MALLOW, a sentient marshmallow, launches and sticks across more than 100 levels to escape a candy factory.
Earning stars opens access to deeper areas of Paragon Confections’ factory, where MALLOW uncovers secrets about its owner and history. Hazards include flames, saw blades, lasers, and other threats. The game has retro-style graphics and sounds, plus hats, accessories, and collectibles. Its level-based structure combines platforming puzzles with an escape goal and factory exploration.
