Pocket Gamer Advent Calendar 2016 - Super Powerboy

| Super Powerboy

Welcome back to Pocket Gamer's 2016 Advent Calendar, in which we're giving away a free copy of one of the year's best premium iOS or Android games each day right up until Christmas Day itself. To learn more, check out the first post where we run through it all.

Super Powerboy

Day two is none other than Super Powerboy, an action auto-runner in which you play as a young boy who has to save humanity from aliens, building his very own superhero suit that gives him special powers.

It's kind of like a metroidvania, in the sense that you unlock abilities that let you access new areas. Where it differs is in the lack of exploration though - you're constantly driven forward to the next level, and there's nothing to find in previous levels using your new abilities.

But that's okay. Super Powerboy is all about completing each level with accuracy, collecting every item, and defeating every enemy.

At review, we gave it a thoroughly-deserved Gold Award and said: "A gorgeous looking, fun as all hell platformer that mixes the modern and the old fashioned wonderfully".

How the hell do I get it?

Woah, calm down! You came to the right place! All you've got to do is join the App Army here, then write your name as it appears on Facebook in the comments so we can verify you are, in fact, a real life member. If you're selected, you'll then receive your code as an IM within 24 hours.

We've got iOS and tvOS copies so please also remember to specify which of the two you prefer.

And that's it! All that's left to say is that, no matter how you're spending the holidays this year, we hope you have one to remember. In a good way.
