The Magnets

About

The Magnets is a logic puzzle game where players use magnets to manipulate blocks and make balls fall onto matching colored platforms. Magnets push or pull blocks based on color and the number on the magnet, which indicates its strength and range of impact. The game offers no time limits, allows for moves to be undone, and increases in difficulty steadily, with players able to quit and return to puzzles as needed.
