Jerp plays Super MagBot [demo] - Tricky precision platformer w/no jumps (2021-06-20)
Super MagBot is another of the demos that I tried out recently as part of the Steam Next Fest. It’s a precision platformer where you’re unable to jump, and instead use magnetic attraction and repulsion to pull towards and push off of platforms and other objects to collect Planet Fragments (plus some optional stuff which I’m guessing is a currency or unlocks additional levels).
While the difficulty ramped up a good bit across the demo, I did manage to complete all of the included levels (even the time-limited extra stuff). Based on what I’m seeing late in the demo (+ the end-of-demo preview), the game will probably rocket way past my skill level, but it looks like the type of stuff that fans of hardcore precision platformers would love.
Thanks to Jonno of Team17 for pointing out that there was a demo available - I had been eyeballing the game for a while.
