About Malfunction II

Malfunction II follows the events immediately after Malfunction I. Featuring a beloved character from the first game; Dwenguil. You'll once again step into his shoes as he's awoken on an inescapable mysterious planet (Isolate Chasm) which has been long overtaken by the Plague. However. The Plague aren't quite the same as they once were. The Plague has evolved exponentially and are planning an escape from the Isolate Chasm; potentially causing a huge threat to the entire universe. Dwenguil must yet again strategize a solution to stopping the Plague- for good this time.

Malfunction II will keep the formula you know and love (puzzles, exploration, combat) and improve upon it. Featuring new character modes, new combat techniques, new lush environments to explore, and MANY new puzzles to overcome. Malfunction II is by far the biggest and most innovative project that Barlock Games has ever made.

For a free game it was quite nice, relaxing. The gameplay was far too easy to get properly invested in, but it was a chill experience with a nice story

"Malfunction II" is an unfortunately mediocre low poly adventure/action game with a degree of puzzle solving and shooting... really if it wasn't so boring and poorly presented this might have been a success, but it was, as the figures show, a dismal failure. The game is all about robots and solving a sci-fi "Plague" by doing all this low poly action/puzzle/adventure stuff. In terms of visuals, this features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and while some developers struggle with creating high quality visuals, failing to do so is a disservice to gamers. It's very difficult to recommend bad looking games. It's free... now, but it wasn't before. The developer was charging $5 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It's a nice gesture for the game to be given away for free, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. It's also a bit of a slap in the face to anyone who paid money for this... nobody got refunded. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on …

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

[h1] WE NEED TO REPENT FROM OUR SINS[/h1] He who covers up his sins will not prosper; but he who confesses them and turns away will obtain mercy (Proverbs 28:13). [h1]JESUS CHRIST IS THE "ONLY MEDIATOR"[/h1] Because there is only one God, and only one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5). In the beginning he was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1.1). And that Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (John 1.14). The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29). Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the only one who can give us eternal life and save us from the wrath to come. Salvation is not throu…
