That mech packs a punch!

Megabyte Punch, an addictive side-scrolling beat 'em up, where you can custom-fit your fighting robot with parts of fallen enemies, is available for 25% off at GOG.com. That's only $11.24 for one week.

Wake up, Megac! I am the Heartcore, your creator. The virtual world we both call home is under attack. You, warrior of steel, have to fight for its future. Your mission is to defend the digital realm from malicious robotic fighters. Yes, you are a weakling now, but I bestow upon you a power that will be the key to our survival. Now you can use scavenged parts of fallen foes to upgrade your systems and replace your limbs with increasingly powerful weapons of destruction. In time you will become a deadly destroyer, a stalwart defender, our savior.

Megabyte Punch is a gloriously stylish beat 'em up platformer inspired by the long gone days of N64 bliss. With tight combat mechanics, immersive electro soundtrack, and distinctive visuals, the game sucks you into a colorful world of epic boss fights and inventive level design. The ability to upgrade your Megac with over 150 collectable body parts allows for experimentation with combat tactics in search of the ultimate combination of firepower and enhanced skills. You can fight through 6 unique worlds all by yourself or engage in up to 4 player local co-op and versus mode jousts. If you are craving for a stylish platformer full of electrifying robotic combat Megabyte Punch will knock your socks off!

Assemble your machine of mayhem and open up a can of whoopass on a variety of robotic foes in Megabyte Punch, for only $11.24 on GOG.com.
So is this like the old medabot games from Nintendo? The mechanics described sound a lot like the medabot games.
Maybe, just maybe it's because I have a huge headache today but I think the music from the trailer is very annoying. I would like to play a game with it...

that's taste ;) i was actually thinking the music was great, better then how the gameplay looks...
Did not realise this was out of alpah yet... may need to update my Desura version then...

And cudos to gog to release another indie which have already been sold in at least one bundle
(http://indiegamebundle.wikia.com/wiki/Green_Light_Bundle_3) and on Indie Game Stand

For what it is worth, though, what I played of the alpha back then was quite good. I update my version later on and see how it has turned out.

It has also been greenlit, so I wonder if there is steam keys from the bundles or not... Will be interesting to see.

So it looks like an interest mix of Super Smash Brothers and a platformer I can't quite put my finger on (Mega Man X, maybe). I'll have to think about this one a bit.

+1 ;)
So, is this game sort of a Metroidvania with robots? I might have to keep an eye on this if that's the case.
Looks like it plays like a side scrolling Smash Bros with medabots-esque aesthetics, colour me curious.
Interesting release, thanks GOG.

With all these platformers released these months, I should reconsider playing this kind of game like I did years ago.
And perhaps, I sould consider buying a gamepad.

Has anyone tried to play this game or Guacamelee or Space: Mutant Blobs Attack with a decent gamepad for computer, please? On Linux and Wine? Is a gamepay a 'must-buy' to enjoy these games, or a classic combo (kbd+mouse) can be used without any trouble?

And still we come on tuesdays, we are gog addicts ;)
I liked this game a lot more than I thought I would when I bought at IGS. Speaking of which, does anyone know if IGS will give us a GOG keys considering they supply other games with GOG keys? I think they say that at least if they're greenlit later at Steam they will give you a key by then.

It is greenlit, but not released on Steam yet, so I guess keys will appear at some point.

Just remember that key generations work differently for GoG and Steam, so it is completely up to Gog... For steam it is up to the devs.
