MEDIA Prima Labs, partnering with Streamline Games, has set a target of one million downloads for its latest game app, Nightstrea­m.

Different from Temple Run and Subway Surfers, this next-generation runner game is not confined to lanes, but across walls and ceilings too.

Media Prima Digital chief executive officer Rafiq Razali said there was no time frame but he was confident that the mobile game app could hit the one-million-download target.

“With Streamline Games focusing on the game developmen­t front, we can use our strength as

the largest integrated media company in Malaysia to promote Nightstrea­m in the mass market and replicate the success of our other titles, such as Ejen Ali and Mak Cun’s Adventure.” Streamline Games has contribute­d to games such as Final Fantasy XV, Street Fighter V and BioShock Infinite.

Since its release on Sept 15, Nightstrea­m has reached 6,000 downloads. The game comprises a team of runners — resistance forces who are determined to fight against the evil forces of Metronite Corporatio­n who want to seize control of the Nightstrea­m, a mysterious data stream for themselves.

Nightstrea­m’s associate producer Izzal Imaani said the mobile game was something that adrenaline junkies would love.

“We put a lot of love and care into the mechanics, which I hope players will truly enjoy.

“It wasn’t easy nailing down some of the mechanics, especially the responsive­ness of the controls and the power-up mechanics, but our internal gamer wouldn’t allow for anything other than perfection.”

Nightstrea­m can be downloaded for free at Apple App Store and Google Play.
