If you're into fast-paced, physics-based platformers with a retro twist, then buckle up for Astronaut Joe: Magnetic Rush, now available on Android. Developed by Lepton Labs, this is their inaugural dive into mobile gaming, and it promises a thrilling experience.
Who Is Astronaut Joe with Magnetic Rush?
Meet Joe, the quirky astronaut who defies conventional movement. Instead of mundane walking or jumping, Joe harnesses magnetic powers to zoom, roll, bounce, and catapult himself across challenging terrains. The game throws you into a 30-level Lava Cave Adventure filled with treacherous lava pits, spike traps, and twitchy obstacles. Your mission? Navigate through them swiftly, as every bounce is critical to your success.
As you progress, you'll have the chance to unlock various spacesuits, each offering Joe new abilities and altering the appearance of his portal, shield, energy, and suit. These upgrades not only enhance Joe's capabilities, such as barreling through lava or skating past spike traps but also add a layer of customization to your gameplay. For a glimpse of the action, check out the game trailer below.
It’s Simple and Fun
Despite its high-octane gameplay, Astronaut Joe: Magnetic Rush boasts simple controls—just a tap to activate Joe's magnetism. Yet, mastering smooth, seamless runs is where the true challenge lies. The game is sprinkled with hidden rooms, often harboring those coveted purple crystals, adding an extra layer of exploration and achievement hunting to the mix.
With its pixelated charm and old-school arcade-style art, Astronaut Joe offers a nostalgic yet fresh take on mobile platformers. If you're up for the challenge and eager to compete on global leaderboards, you can grab the game from the Google Play Store.
