You are super. You have a cable. And you are a boy. Super Cable Boy is a retro inspired platformer, where you are put into the role of a living handheld gaming system with a power cord. Collect game cartridges to become more powerful and take on your quest to defeat
, a mysterious entity that threatens to destroy the world.
Get ready to
Throw your plug like a grappling hook and get dizzy
Jump and dash and stuff
See alternative dimensions
Fly around (crazy isn't it?)
Collect onigiris, don't they look delicious?
Prepare your body for some mind-bending retroesque glichart, a weird story and some solid platforming action!
Well, well, well. A lot has happened since the last update and Cable Boy has been electrocuting his circuits for you day in day out. But don't worry. We're here to comfort you and tell you all about it. He has become smarter, more stable, but most of all, a boy of culture.
LOCALIZATIONS
I know, I know... It's kind of ironic that the event news itself is only available in English, but hey, we gotta cut budget somewhere, you know?
Anyways...
Cable Boy downloaded himself some language lessons and is now fluent in:
Japanese
German
He's still learning a few other languages, though. Almost there. Learning new vocabulary is difficult if you have only 32kb of Memory.
Korean
Traditional Chinese
Simplified Chinese
Thai
Spanish
Will be ready next month!
OST RELEASE
Did you know Cable Boy loves to dance? If you've ever pressed [R2] during the game, you probably did.
Make sure to check out the OST, which includes all of Cable Boys favorite tunes (Which is basically every track from the whole game)! You can find it linked on the main store page or right here BUG FIXES
And as always we fixed a couple of bugs and glitches here and there (not the good ones, though. The good ones stay.):
Fixed a bug that caused the player to be teleported outside the disassembler boss fight room, when taken damage and playing with extra lifes
Reworked the level highlighting logic on the world map
Beep boop
STEAM SUMMER SALE
Not sure if you've noticed, but yeah! The game is 20% off durign Steam Summer Sale! If you haven't already, go grab it! Also, why are you reading the announcement of a game you don't even own? Appreciate it, though.
There's one more thing...
NINTENDO SWITCH RELEASES
aaaaaand.... the game is now available on Nintendo Switch! That's it. That's all I'm going to say about this one. This is not a promotion for the Switch Version, just a footnote containing purely non promotional information. Don't buy it. Just know that it's there. (I didn't write this because Steams policies are holding me hostage at all. Please don't sue me. Buy the game though. Just on Steam, of course. What? Who wrote all that? no one. You just imagined it.)
