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. Publish your creation, let players vote, and climb the community rankings. COMPETE WORLDWIDE Global best times on every level, medals for flawless runs, and a challenge system to dare your friends to beat your score. ALSO INSIDE - Shop with accessories that change your look AND your stats - Available in 11 languages - Plays offline, no connection required - Simple touch controls, designed for one-handed chaos Free to play.
