12 must-play games made in Malaysia

Developers from Malaysia are converging in Cyberjaya this weekend for the Astro #GOInnovate conference. There’s going to be a mobile game showcase, keynotes and panels by industry figures, and even a hackathon. Malaysia is home to some pretty awesome games and there’s no doubt that several more will be given life this weekend.

In the meantime, here are 12 Malaysian games you really need to play.

Protect Teddy

Developed by Penang’s Dilectus Games, Protect Teddy is an endless runner with a combat feature. The titular Teddy has escaped his castle home and is gallivanting through a very dangerous world, and it’s up to you, his trusty knight to keep him safe from harm. Your task is to slice and dice up baddies as they hone in on Teddy, who flies onward with a magical leaf. Combined with a catchy soundtrack, cute visuals, and addictive gameplay with attractive in-game rewards, Protect Teddy is a game you shouldn’t miss. It’s available on iOS.

The Dreamcatcher

Developed by Sunnyside Interactive, a graduate from the 1337 Accelerator, this arcade-style game for the iPad may at first seem like it’s made for kids, but playing on will show you otherwise. It’s a gesture-based romp through a wild, nightmarish world, wherein you are the hero tasked with keeping evil at bay. Dreamcatcher is available for the iPad only so if you don’t have one, just check our review out.

Velocibox

If you identify as a “maso-core” gamer, then Velocibox is right up your alley. A running game unlike any other we’ve seen, Velocibox needs quick reflexes and a strong stomach from its players. The game’s objective is to get this one box through a series of corridors littered with obstacles, all at terminal velocity—hence its name. Velocibox is available on Steam and will eventually make it to the PS Vita.
