Jan. 2026

Super Magbot is one of the finest platformers I've played going all the way back to my introduction to the genre with Super Mario Bros. at five years old. There's no jumping. You aim your magnet with your right thumb, to propel or repel, and control Magbot's movement with your left. Twin stick platformer is an apt description. You get two red charges and two blues charges that are only recharged after landing on the ground. These limited charges add an element of problem solving to a game that is otherwise focused on pure platforming and reflex. There's often a kind of rhythm to using the charges. Some of the late game highly technical levels are essentially precision rhythm levels. Super Magbot's magnetic movement is explored thoroughly with creative new ideas and obstacles gradually introduced throughout. If you jive with the game's innovative movement, you'll absolutely love the insane ninjastics that you'll pull off after you get the swing of things. I'm unfamiliar with any other platformer with this kind of magnet-based movement. Donkey Kong King of Swing for Gameboy Advance is the closest analogue that comes to mind, not because that game shares similar movement, but simply due to how wildly and successfully it shakes up platforming conventions. Like King of Swing, Super Magbot requires planning and a bit of puzzle solving. Some of the optional collectables in Super Magbot appear impossibly out of reach until you strategize a series of moves. I had to stare at some levels for several minutes to even figure out what was being asked. Super Magbot's level design and pacing are extremely tight. The difficulty ramps up fairly quickly and by the end is truly outrageous. One level in the final world took me two hours of repeated attempts. You will be tested time and again, especially if you go for full completion. Super Magbot is a pick up and die kind of game. Expect to die hundreds of times. Like any great precision platformer all those failures slowly add to your skill. There are accessibility options in case any levels give too much trouble. I have to also mention the great pixel art and solid chiptune soundtrack. More and more these days I find myself muting games and listening to an audiobook instead. Not so here. I didn't grow tired of the music in my 16 hours playtime. Overall, Super Magbot is a big recommendation for fans of platformers or rhythm games. Just go in ready for an intense challenge. Offhand, here's a bunch of 2d platforming games with inventive movement that I've enjoyed over the past few years: Windswept, The King's Bird, Dustforce DX, Splasher, Aeterna Noctis, Rusted Moss, Ugly, Ynglet, Drill Dozer (GBA) and Donkey Kong King of Swing (GBA).

Super fun. Great mechanics and puzzles.

Sept. 2025

Its a solid enough platformer with some hiccups that keep it from greatness. The game itself is one of those platformers without jumping. The whole game is just attracting or repelling based on the colors. It works well enough and starts off with good and fair difficulty. The main problems are in the mechanics. The game is so much trial and error, and not like a normal platformer where you make mistakes on jumping or avoiding obstacles. This is all about trying to remember which color is which button and which color you are supposed to use at which time. No matter how much you play you'll constantly screw it up, especially with multiple jumps all needed to be done in a row. This gets worse on later levels with lava rising up or pressure spike traps meaning you don't have a second to compose things. This forces you to sit and watch and try to figure out the right combination and then execute it. This makes it almost just a puzzle and memorization game, which takes away much of the ability to improvise as you're just doing all the steps and pressing all the buttons like the game designs it to. But the game is precise and tight with platforming most of the game. The mechanics can be finnicky as well with repelling/attacking sometimes missing even when you have it right over the object, as if the hitboxes can be off. Also its really annoying when they introduce clouds or other things that force you to immediately spin the joystick around to use a second push off the object. This is where a mouse would be better for the quick precision, but then you have to use the keys for character movement. Its like keyboard and mouse but have cons no matter what you use. Thankfully they do add accessibility options, as the checkpoints are an obvious must, and somewhat ridiculous they don't already include them. For later levels the air freeze ability makes it much less rage inducing, as you feel like most of your deaths are cheap compared to other platformers where you feel you have more control. This game is mostly a coin flip simulator where you have to guess the right button to press at the right time 3-5x in a row while angling the finnicky aimer at the exact right angle each time. It can be very frustrating at time based on the game design. But its not all bad and when it works it can be fun, if a little repetitive. Also adding annoying slippery ice levels is just one of the worst ideas ever. This game is no celeste or Mr Bree but its solid enough if you can get back some of the poor design choices and implementation. 7.5/10

April 2025

This game is awesome in many ways: - Feels completely unique and different to any platformer I've ever played. - Challenging, but totally fair. - Various Obstacles mean you'll never get bored as levels keep evolving. - Fun to complete optional level and optional challenges are also fun and still feel fair. - Controls seemed to be made for keyboard and mouse at first (they probably work well there) but they do fell awesome on a controller as well.

Good platformer. There is no jump, and instead you use your blue and red button to attract or repel the red and blue platforms. Controls well. There are challenge collectibles to collect in the levels as well.
