The Magnets

[b]the magnets[/b] isn't a physics-based puzzler, as you might expect. no, it's basically [b]math-based basketball on a grid[/b]. or something. the goal is to make the ball (not a basketball but whatever) fall into a hole (not a basket but whatever) by [b]placing magnets all over the place to push and pull blocks around[/b]. it's grid-based and there's [b]no timing, precise movement or any of that nonsense[/b] involved, the number of available moves is determined by the number of pieces. e.g. if the magnet has a 5 on it and the same-colord block has 3, placing the magnet on the left will push the block 2 tiles to the right because math. if the block is a different color, it'll be pulled 2 tiles, and in either case the magnet will lose its magnetic property, they're all single-use. [b]numbers also represent reach[/b], so a block with a 5 will only affect stuff within 5 tiles in every cardinal direction (no diagonals), meaning if you place it further away from a block with 1 on it, it might not move it 4 tiles depending on their distance from each other. unlike balls, blocks don't fall down if pushed off a platform, but can be moved vertically. there's a [b]5-page in-game guide[/…

The Magnets is a clever designed, minimalist, logic and physics based puzzle game. pros: * Puzzles' quality is very good and the solutions/levels are nicely varied ( most important thing in a puzzle game ) * Graphic designs are very simple and effective * Atmosphere is very relaxing and tempo is very calming ( No need to hurry, just enjoying the puzzles ) * There is no time and there is no undo or restart limit * There are always seven puzzles waiting to be solved ( if you get stuck on a puzzle you can switch to another and continue playing ) * Can play with mouse only * Very very cheap price tag cons: * It would be nice to have Japanese language support

The Magnets is a clever designed puzzle game. It is a real brainteaser. The game requires a lot of logical thinking. It starts out with a few simple puzzles, but it is getting harder each level. Puzzles are challenging yet not frustrating. The price is very very cheap for such a good puzzle game. I think it might take 5-10 hours to beat the game. If you like puzzle games, I would definitely recommend this game. 9/10

Challenging, relaxing, satisfying. A really great logic/puzzle game, it definitely has a much cheaper price tag than it deserves.

Fun game, good if you're looking for some puzzles.

This is a PC game with 0 options and 0 accessibility options, in this day and age that is unacceptable. This is a math game not a physics based game and that is where I blame myself for buying it. I finished 20 levels and can't say I was challenged really. Most of the time I was pressing undo button but you have to do it with your mouse because there are no PC options, simple things like rebinding your keys like in the 90's .....more then 3 decades ago! Just awful.
