SUPER MEGA HERO - a retro platformer that refuses to take itself seriously. One hero. One enormous arm. One tiny arm. Zero good sportsmanship. Run, jump and blast your way through 7 handcrafted worlds, each with its own look, music and boss. Die a lot. Blame the level design. Try again. 7 WILD WORLDS From a kitsch sunny beach to a deep forest, a creepy cave, a giant candy party, an orbital space station, a bubbling volcano and a vertical tower climb where the floor crumbles under your feet. Every world brings new enemies, new hazards and a completely different boss. ABSURD WEAPONS Find hidden chests to unlock the Triple Blaster, the Laser Rifle, the Rainbow Cannon and even a Water Gun (surprisingly effective against devils). Hold the fire button to charge a super shot: homing missiles, orbiting energy balls and more. A HERO WHO NEVER ADMITS DEFEAT Fall in a pit? "That hole moved, I swear." Get flattened by a boss? "I was letting him win." Over 100 hilarious excuses, tailored to exactly how you died. BUILD YOUR OWN LEVELS A full offline level editor: place platforms, moving blocks, trampolines, spikes, coins, chests and every enemy in the game.
