Cast your mind back a fair few months to January and you may remember our coverage of Super PowerBoy, the grand winner of the Very Big Indie Pitch in London. Well, our wait's coming to an end as the game is set to launch on the 1st of September.

Described in our previous article by Mark Brown as offering a 'Pixar-like experience', it's hardly surprising how a title as pretty as this can be a definite winner. However it's not just the looks that make the game worth playing.

Initially you see it as your typical platformer but the more you play the more you unlock for your vulnerable boy as he slowly builds up his armour into Hulkbuster-worthy badassery. Of course, each element has a use, such as the grind boots for grinding up rails, and so on.

We'll update you when the game drops on iOS next week so watch this space, folks, and get excited.
