Overview

Operation MAGNO is a precision platformer that puts a sci-fi grappling hook gun at the center of the action. Developed and published by Bradenator, this 2D adventure launched on Steam on October 13, 2026, and it's already making waves among fans of tight, skill-based movement games.

You play as an employee at Velocitech, a company on the verge of unveiling its latest innovation: the MAGNO gun, which stands for Magnetism Across Geophysically Noded Objects. Your job?

Navigate a series of test courses filled with bottomless pits, spike beds, moving walls, and other deadly hazards—all while proving that the MAGNO gun is the safest, most reliable tool ever created. Spoiler: it's not, but that's half the fun.

Highlights

  • Core Mechanic: The grappling hook gun lets you latch onto surfaces and swing across gaps, but the game's challenge comes from timing your shots perfectly to avoid the many traps.
  • Hazard-Packed Levels: Expect spike beds, moving walls, targets, and countless other obstacles that demand precision and quick reflexes.
  • Single-Player Adventure: This is a purely solo experience, with Steam Achievements and Family Sharing support, making it easy to track your progress and share your library.

Who It's For

If you're a fan of precision platformers like Celeste or Super Meat Boy, but you've always wanted a sci-fi twist with a grappling hook, Operation MAGNO is right up your alley. It's also a great pick for anyone who enjoys a good challenge and doesn't mind dying—a lot—in the name of progress.

The pixel art style and linear level design keep the focus squarely on gameplay, so if you're looking for a tight, focused platforming experience, this is it.
