About the game
In Magnet every player is a magnet in a glowing arena full of scrap metal. Get close and the scrap snaps into orbit around you. Those spinning pieces are your shield and your ammunition at the same time, so every shot is a choice between attack and defense.
Tap to fire a single piece, or hold to charge and release a fan of everything you carry. A full charge is fast and accurate, but it leaves you empty. Get hit while you carry scrap and it scatters for everyone to grab. Get hit while you carry nothing and you lose a life.
After the first minute the arena starts shrinking, so nobody can hide. Play a quick match online, where bots fill empty seats instantly, create a private room for friends, or practice against three bot difficulties.
How to play
- Move toward the cursor (or drag on touch). Nearby scrap is pulled into your orbit.
- Tap to fire one piece. Hold and release to fire them all in a fan.
- Orbiting scrap blocks shots. Lose a life only when hit with no scrap.
- Three lives each. The last magnet standing wins.

Do I have to wait for other players?
No. In Quick Match, bots join after a few seconds if no one else is around, so a game always starts quickly.
