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 have today revealed that magnetic puzzle platformer Super Magbotis heading to Nintendo Switch, alongside the previously announced Steam version, with both platforms attracting magnetic fun on 22nd June.

For talented players, Star Fragments are hidden in tricky locations across each level, providing an extra layer of challenge for completionists to savour.
