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.

Team17 and Astral Pixel are powering up for the release of puzzle-driven, magnetic platformer, Super Magbot, on PC later this year with today’s release of a demo available on Steam.
Posing the question, ‘Are You Magbot Enough?’ the demo provides a taste of the challenging platforming set to feature in the full game later this year, where global leaderboards will be present for players to compete and post their best times. The most talented players can also collect more more difficult Star Fragments hidden in tricky locations in each level too, providing an extra layer of challenge. These colourful 16-bit worlds also hide additional secrets to uncover as Magbot unravels the intergalactic mysteries of the adventure.

In the demo, players can access the first 15 levels and a timed set of harder levels from later in the game, with players able to head back into these challenges multiple times to try and beat their score. Using the hashtag #RUMagbotEnough, players can share their scores with others on social media to see who can be the Super Magbot.

Key Features:

  • Use Magnetic Force to Attract: Use the power of magnetic attraction to pull yourself towards platforms and across perilous pitfalls.
  • Use Magnetic Force to Repel: Magbots are very heavy and can’t jump! Use to power of magnetic repulsion to boost you through the air!
  • Collect Bonus Energy: Collect tough to reach additional energy for additional challenge!

Super Magbot is in development for PC (Steam), scheduled for 2021.
