Independent video game developer Reptile Games have announced that their next game to market, Megabyte Punch, has just launched. While the game is still caught in the potentially endless trap of Steam Greenlight, it is currently available for purchase via three different means – the Humble Bundle Store, Desura and Gamersgate.
Megabyte Punch is what the team at Reptile Games have described as the “best as a mash-up of SSB, Megaman and Custom Robo“. In Megabyte Punch players battle various creatures in the story mode to get their parts and upgrade their own fighter; like Tornado shoulders for a whirlwind attack or powerful hips for a devastating pelvic thrust attack. Then, using the abilities of their customized fighter, they can compete in tournaments or battle against other players in a destructible arena.
The game also features a multiplayer battle mode where players can fight each other using their customized fighters. Players can also enter the tournament to win rare new parts for their character. For those with a lot of spare time on their hands, there is also the option of producing your own versus levels with an external image editor, then adding it into the game.

There are loads of different parts and abilities players can use to build a unique fighting character. We’re very excited to release Megabyte Punch onto the world and anxious to see how players will use and abuse the abilities of their customized characters!
Megabyte Punch is currently on sale for $11.99, 20% off its original price of $14.99 for Windows, Mac and Linux platforms. There is also a special edition of the game that comes with the original Soundtrack (27 tracks), HD Wallpapers, and extra custom levels for $20.00.
