SUPER METBOY! Reviews

The first self-developed game from Rebuild Games, who mainly do third-party design work on Pokemon games. Metland is being besieged by enemies, and it's up to a crack team of Mets to stop them. SUPER METBOY! has a fascinating control scheme in which the Met you play as bounces around and hops into the air when shooting a projectile. While strange to get used to, the game works beautifully around this mechanic as you use your shots to take out enemies all around the stage and survive waves of enemies. Each wave has a specific number of enemies you need to clear before it ends, and so you have a push-and-pull mechanic in choosing between easier enemies or stronger enemies that offer more money upon defeat. Your choice of Met also impacts gameplay - Metboy himself has a standard straight shot attack, while Metgirl has a heart attack that has homing properties, Metbomber has bombs that move in an arc, and so on. If you manage to complete the game, you get access to a 'special US version' that's harder but offers greater rewards. Those rewards come in the form of Diamonds that can be spent on Chips which alters things like your Attack strength, your HP, and the amount of Gold you get. It's a fantastic game!
