Super Magbot

[h1]ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕠𝕟, 𝕄𝕒𝕘𝕓𝕠𝕥! 𝕃𝕖𝕥'𝕤 𝕤𝕒𝕧𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕦𝕟𝕚𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕤𝕖[/h1] Be warned, first and foremost, that this game will test your sanity and mettle unlike any other platformer game. It's a clever twist on the classic 2D platformer formula, minus the jumping. That's the gist of it, really, your protagonist cannot jump, but has to use a laser beam to latch unto walls and make it out of a level with his ONE-TOUCH death trifling ass... ahem, behind! The pixel-art, of course, is a focal point of the game. It just works for this sort of game anyway. The story is unequivocal and very unoriginal... Planets are getting smashed by a major devil asteroid... you have to gather each planet's core to fight off the asteroid. That's all there is to it. Sounds simple enough? Wait till you enjoy (or rather, get infuriated) by the sudden HUGE difficulty ramp-up that happens mid-way through the game. If you're using a mouse, or a joypad that drifts just a little bit, you're in for quite a surprise. The laser sometimes just doesn't want to latch unto anything and yup, it will flail you straight into the lava, ughh... And some levels tend to drag out, go there find a key, come back t…

Super Magbot is a 2D Precision Platformer about a robot named Super Magbot where its galaxy faces a threat of a giant asteroid destroying all planets in its path and its mission is to help restore balance. The game offers 4 big zones of heavy precision platforming stages, each will test your quick thinking and timing abilities. The game uses a magnet color system of blue and red, where you have to go through each stage while traversing the traps with magnet pulls or pushes, the cursor movement was a bit awkward and it can mess up your trajectory of bouncing off platforms or pulling yourself towards them. The music and OST was galaxy theme and suited the stages, most of them were okay as I couldn't put my full focus into the music due to each short stage / giving focus and attention to solving the puzzles. Bosses cannot be attacked directly, however you deal damage to them by platforming magnets during the fight and find the correct strategy to beat each one, testing your dodging and quick timings. It's recommended only if you're a big fan of brutal precision platformers. Overall Rating 7.5/10

A surprisingly good 2d platformer with great mechanics, level design, and soundtrack. The only hard part is learning how to press the correct button.

Such a joy to play and listen to :)

This is a great platformer that is pretty high on the difficulty scale. It hurt my brain for the first hour or so, but then you start to get used to the red/blue controls (as much as one can). The extra fragments to grab in each level make for a nice puzzle aspect. I didn't use assists, but there was a level checkpoint assist in the settings among a few others which would probably bring the difficulty down a fair bit if needed.

Not bad, but not for me. General rule of thumb for my reviews, I'm not objectively rating the game, I'm letting you know how it worked for me and if I liked it. I didn't like Super Magbot. Super Magbot is a puzzle platformer, but without the usual jump mechanics. Instead, Super magbot has you controlling a short line around the character that can fire out a short positive or negitive magnetic pulse (it's just red and blue to make things easy). So, much like many puzzle platformers, this game is all about speed and precision. However, this game increases the required precision because you need to control your character AND you need to control the retical around them and time your "shots" correctly. I don't think this game is particularly difficult if you're just trying to complete it. This isn't a rage game or a game that requires pixel perfect positioning, so if you LOVE puzzle platformers and want something a little different, you might like this game. The main reason I don't jive with this game is because I find it too fiddly and not enjoyable enough to warrant pushing through the fiddly nature of the game. In standard puzzle platformers, you only need to consid…
