Astronaut Joe: Magnetic Rush, developed by Lepton Labs, has made its debut on Android, marking the studio's inaugural venture into mobile gaming. This fast-paced, physics-based platformer immerses players in the unique world of Joe, an unconventional astronaut who navigates challenging terrains using his magnetic powers. Instead of traditional movement, Joe rolls, bounces, and flings himself across levels, adding a thrilling twist to gameplay.
The game features 30 meticulously crafted levels set within the Lava Cave Adventure. Players must maneuver through hazardous environments filled with lava pits, spike traps, and twitchy obstacles, with the objective to complete each level as swiftly as possible. Every bounce and movement counts toward achieving the fastest time.
Throughout the journey, players can unlock various spacesuits, each offering Joe new powers and altering the appearance of his portal, shield, energy, and suit. These upgrades enhance Joe's abilities, allowing him to barrel through lava or skate past spike traps, adding depth and variety to the gameplay experience. You can get a glimpse of the action in the game trailer below.
Despite its simple controls, where players only need to tap to activate Joe's magnetism, mastering smooth and efficient runs is where the true challenge lies. The game also hides secret rooms within its levels, often containing the coveted purple crystals. Discovering these hidden areas and unlocking achievements adds an extra layer of engagement to the game.
Astronaut Joe: Magnetic Rush combines nostalgic pixel art with classic arcade-style gameplay, making it a delightful experience for mobile platformer enthusiasts. If you're eager to dive in and compete with players worldwide on the global leaderboards, you can download the game from the Google Play Store.
