Publisher Team 7 and developer Astral Pixel announced they’re teaming up to release Super Magbot on PC via Steam. The announcement was made on social media and with a YouTube video. The video gives players a sample of some of the gameplay along with the challenging puzzles.
Super Magbot is a 2D platformer where jumping isn’t allowed. Players must use magnets to run through each level quickly. Robots are heavy, and in this game, they aren’t very agile. Players have to harness the power of magnets to move around each level as quickly as possible.
Magnets are used to pull the robot protagonist towards platforms and across other obstacles. Magnetic force is also used to repel over obstacles and boost the robot through the air. There are eight different magnets with various abilities.
The game takes place in the system of Magnetia, which is in trouble. A terrible villain is tearing through the galaxy and causing destruction in is path. It’s all up to Super Magbot to save the day. Super Magbot is powered with both positive and negative magnetic polarities. The protagonist has to navigate a complicated system of platforming environments to save his homeplanet Mag Tek
Super Magbot contains over 100 unique levels through four different worlds that offer a challenging experience. There are some additional activities, such as collecting additional energy as a bonus.
The game is currently scheduled for release on PC. No other platforms are listed on the game’s official website.
