Megabyte Punch, the crazy gameplay mash up of Super Smash Bros., Custom Robo and Megaman is finally nearing release, August 6th 2013 to be exact, and it’s going for a cool 20% off during launch week. You’ll have one week to grab the robot fighting, beat ‘up up game at $11.99 and then it will settle into its regular price of $14.99 and it is coming to the triple threat of PC, Mac and Linux. Also the team at Reptile Games have noted that anyone buying prior to the game being greenlit on Steam will get a Steam key so robo punch that yes button on Steam Greenlight HERE!
For those of you that love soundtrack editions of video games you’ll also be able to pick up the game, the 27 track soundtrack, HD Wallpapers and extra levels for $20. I don’t see anything that says there’s any kind of sale for the special soundtrack edition but it’s only $5 more than you would normally pay so if you consider yourself an audio collector you know what you must do.
Something we haven’t heard before about Megabyte Punch is that there is an easy as sin versus level creator. Fire up any graphics program of your choice, hell Paint sounds like it should work just fine, draw and save your design as a PNG file. The game will read the PNG and any pixel you created will be a block in game, like I said, easy as sin. If you want to check out some electro-robo ass kicking action head down below the jump to see the Megabyte Punch launch trailer.

About Reptile-Games:
Reptile began with making the customizable fighting/beat ‘em up game Megabyte Punch in late 2011. The early versions of the game received a lot of praise, which, coupled with the fact that hardly any game developer was making games quite the way Reptile saw them resulted in the formation of the company. In 2012, alongside developing Megabyte Punch, Reptile also diverted into smaller projects. Like the upcoming rhythm game Beat Attack and the competitive Lethal League.
