This patch fixes some bugs mainly for the speedrun community and adds some minor features. Added -skipintro executable parameter to skip the logos/intro when starting the game. Added option in the Options/Graphics menu to enable/disable VSYNC. Fixed timestep simulation in all player movement actions. (Fixes the Dash bending bug on high fps PCs) Now you can't pause when the player character is playing Birth/Death animations. This prevents the pause softlock bug.

- Magnet Monday - 17 August 2021
"Greetings, fellow robots! This is Magnet Monday, your guide to the magnets that you'll encounter across various levels on your journey to save the galaxy in Super Magbot." Fragile Magnets Do not let these Magnets get in your way! Shoot at them using the opposite colour with your magnetic ray to get propelled and smash through them - use the same colour to propulse Magbot off. It's always fun to break things, but be aware that fragile magnets won't be merged back once they are broken! https://i.imgur.com/4iIXH8r.gif Platform Magnets Watch your footing! Step carefully when you encounter platform magnets, even the slightest, minimal contact will collapse them down. These magnets require for you to shoot your ray, FAST. Make sure you don't meander about for too long, or you'll fall into the abyss. However, they do respawn after a few seconds -- so if you absolutely need to back track, you…
- Super Magbot is a platformer with magnets instead of jumping - 22 June 2021
Super Magbot is one of those platformers with a twist, where the twist is that you can't jump. Instead you draw yourself towards and propel yourself away from differently coloured platforms using magnets. I liked the demo when I played it in April , and the full game is out now. Read more

- Magnet Monday Bonanza! - 14 June 2021
Hello! 👋 The sun is shining, Magbot is beaming -- because this week I'm showing off TWO new magnets! TWO! Fantastic news for everyone involved, we're all happy to be here. Let's kick things off! Swapping Colour Magnets https://i.imgur.com/ezdQuuA.gif As the Tekians can only use one colour, the first Tekian engineers created these Magnets. This way, every Tekian could make use of any Magnet. Swapping Colour magnets switch to the opposite colour as soon as you shoot them. The colour swapping is basically instantaneous, so perhaps you can take advantage of it in some way! Who are the Tekians? https://i.imgur.com/mmmBgfx.gif The Tekians are the inhabitants of MagTeK. They are all robots and each one of them can manipulate one magnetic polarity (either blue or red). They are intelligent, peaceful robots who enjoy socialising and being active. Visually, they are red or blue - depending on th…
- Magnet Monday - Cloud Magnets! - 7 June 2021
Hello, hello, hello! It's the beginning of another glorious week. So, let's kick things off with some more magnets! This week, we're going to talk about..... Cloud Magnets https://i.imgur.com/isWQ8pD.gif Occasionally, when the temperatures are at scorching heights, the Magnetic dust from the air can merge into a Cloud Magnet! As this Magnet is made of dust, you can't collide against it. Use the same colour to get propulsed off - and use the opposite colour to get attracted through the cloud magnet. Try to shoot just after reaching the cloud to perform two jumps in a row! https://i.imgur.com/XOcHWgg.gif Sounds easy, right? Well, maybe for me - but I'm unsure whether you're up to the challenge..... I guess you'll have to prove me wrong. Super Magbot has a playable demo on Steam and will release on June 22nd! Not long now, I hope you're ready! Wishlist Super Magbot https://store.steampower…
- Magnet Monday - Bubble Magnets! - 31 May 2021
Hello! It's Magnet Monday! After a busy week announcing Super Magbot's June 22nd release date, let's start the next with some more magnet goodness! Bubble Magnets https://i.imgur.com/YCedEpt.gif You'll exclusively encounter bubble magnets in places with sub-zero temperatures, like Mag Zero - brrr; it's freezing over there! Bubble magnets function as if they were air bubbles, they float in the air and plateau, waiting for Super Magbot. Use the opposite colour to enter the magnet - once inside the Magnet, use the opposite colour to get propulsed forward; or use the same colour if you want to get propulsed backwards https://i.imgur.com/ooIgcop.gif Don't forget to wishlist and play the demo! Super Magbot launches on June 22nd! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1205170/Super_Magbot/

Hello! Super Magbot here, on another glorious Monday! What better way to start your week off than with more MAGNETS! Woo! This week's magnet is the... Jumper Magnets https://i.imgur.com/TwhbDqG.gif https://i.imgur.com/kTreeeX.gif These dual-layered Magnets can be used to make impressive jumps! This is where I really begin to turn heads and dazzle spectators! If you are brave enough, shoot at them using the same color to perform a big, long jump across the level. Use the opposite color to perform a short one, in case you are afraid of heights. Please, check the roof before jumping... https://i.imgur.com/LcaUSxh.gif Here I am, performing at my best. What's new? Just a regular day at the office. Play the demo!

- Magnet Monday: Platform Magnets - 17 May 2021
Greetings, fellow robots! Magnet Monday is back! So, let's walk through this week's Magnet that you'll encounter across various levels on your journey to saving the galaxy in Super Magbot. Platform Magnets https://i.imgur.com/HWVakC8.gif https://i.imgur.com/Uy0NQuo.gif Watch your footing! Step carefully when you encounter platform magnets, even the slightest, minimal contact will collapse them down. These magnets require for you to shoot your ray, FAST. Make sure you don't meander about for too long, or you'll fall into the abyss. However, they do respawn after a few seconds -- so if you absolutely need to back track, you can ;) (Or just fall and perish) https://i.imgur.com/ZR8KmyI.gif Play the demo!

- Super Magbot's demo offers attractive and repellent 2D platforming - 29 April 2021
I like a good "platformer but you can't jump" game. VVVVVV remains the gold standard, but Super Magbot's playable demo suggests it has a magnetic appeal of its own. Instead of jumping, you navigate its deadly, single-screen levels using a magnet ray that can attract and repel you from certain surfaces. I played it and liked it. Read more

- Super Magbot's Magnets - 6 May 2020
https://i.imgur.com/LmOlCu7.gif Hey, everyone! You may be perplexed as to how you can navigate levels without the ability to jump on Magtek, that's absolutely fine! Magbots are very, very heavy -- meaning they cannot jump! Luckily, Super Magbot is armed with a magnetic weapon ray, which comes in handy because Magteck is permeated with a variety of up to eight magnets throughout the game! As with most platformers, using a gamepad will provide you the best possible experience - but using your keyboard and mouse is fine, too! The image below illustrates how you will use the bumpers on your controller to work with the magnets throughout Magtek, as you guide Magbot through the levels and challenges you'll face. (A - D. Left/Right Click -- mouse & keyboard) https://i.imgur.com/g7IRvyi.gif Press the bumpers to use Magnbot's magnetic weapon ray Levels are filled with Red (Positive) and Blue (Ne…
