SUPER 56

About SUPER 56

SUPER 56 is by Onion Soup Interactive and launched on Steam in October 2023 for Windows. Its story is set in Hell: the game SUPER 56 was banned by the Government of Pain and buried in a desert, and two roommates, Kronos and Brones, dig up a copy and bet on high scores with their neighbour. The humour leans on gaming history, with references and homages throughout.

Every one of the 56 mini-games is controlled with one button, but the genres vary wildly, so each new stage asks you to work out quickly what that press does. It is easy to learn and hard to master, and unlockable Mod Stones change the rules of a playthrough.

The Daily Challenge gives everyone the day's challenge, with a separate Daily Challenge leaderboard alongside the worldwide high score boards. A Trial Mode turns certain stages, such as the cat on the robot vacuum, into longer challenges with their own leaderboard, and Career Mode lets you practise stages.

There is also a turn-based couch multiplayer mode for two to eight players, which works over Remote Play, and a Mic Mode that lets you play by making any sound. It suits fans of quick-fire arcade games and anyone who likes a short daily score chase.

How to play SUPER 56

1. Buy and install SUPER 56 on Steam.
2. Start the Daily Challenge from the menu.
3. Press the single button at the right moment in each mini-game as each one appears.
4. See where your score lands on the Daily Challenge leaderboard.

Tips

• Practise stages in Career Mode so you recognise each mini-game instantly.
• Watch the first moment of each stage before pressing: timing matters more than speed.
• Try Mic Mode for fun, but use the button for serious daily attempts.
