Super Magbot is a colorful pixel art platformer that sees you harness the power of magnetism to traverse and overcome unique and brutally puzzling levels.

Without ability to jump, you must utilize your magnetic powers to quickly and precisely beat each level and save the galaxy from a terrible fate.

The system of Magnetia is in great peril as an evil villain tears through the galaxy. It’s all down to one robot explorer to save the day – Super Magbot!

Armed with the power to control both positive and negative magnetic polarities, Super Magbot must navigate through a myriad of hardcore platforming environments and save his home planet of Mag Tek.


Daniel Guzmán Cerón, Lead Programmer, Astral Pixel, said: "Super Magbot is the result of working hand in hand with my brother over the past two years. It has been a truly self-learning experience in every way, and we couldn’t be happier to have Team17 on board as our publisher, their legacy of working with indie games makes them a great fit for our game. We have worked hard to create a refreshing take on platforming gameplay and we can’t wait to see players enjoying Super Magbot’s challenges."

It’s easy to see how much hard work and passion has gone into Super Magbot and it is a fantastic addition to our selection of games, its interesting take on the platformer genre will have players hooked”
