Our take on The Magnets
The game removes timed attempts and limited lives from its puzzle structure. Progress instead comes from managing magnet color, strength, and range, with undo, restarting, and later resumption available when a puzzle does not work out.
What is The Magnets?
The Magnets is a logic puzzle game in which magnets move blocks so balls fall onto platforms matching their color.
A magnet pushes blocks of the same color and pulls blocks of a different color when its number is higher than the block's number. The magnet's number also indicates the size of its field of view and impact area in squares. Difficulty rises steadily through the game. Puzzles have no time or life limits, and moves can be undone. Players can restart a level whenever they want, or leave a puzzle and return later to continue.
