MAGNET

Everything Metal Comes to You in MAGNET

In MAGNET, players engage with a compelling scrapyard simulation where everything metallic wants to gravitate towards them. Using a simple mouse drag, you can attract bolts, wrenches, and even old keyboards as you navigate around a massive junkyard. The challenge lies in hauling all that scrap back to the depot, transforming unrefined trash into cash.

The Joy of Transportation with Power Mechanics

Your magnet isn't just a tool; it's a customizable asset. As players collect scrap, the magnet's weight increases. At 100% capacity, movement grinds to a halt until you strategically manage your cargo. Pushing beyond this weight limit becomes a delicate game of balancing reward and risk, as anything you spill is lost profit. Players must decide how much they can carry in each run, turning each trip into a risky gamble.

Upgrade Your Magnet and Expand Your Reach

Customization is key in MAGNET. With seven permanent upgrades, players can specialize their magnet's attributes. Boosting Power, Range, and Speed ensures you can lift heavier items, enabling access to new areas of the map like the Factory and Rail Yard. Reaching 30 kg opens new possibilities, while hitting 150 kg expands the gameplay even further. Each upgrade transforms your experience and enhances your scrap-collecting efficiency.

Explore Diverse Yards with Unique Scrap Types

Three distinct yards await exploration, each with its own scrap types and rewards. The Junkyard pays you in bolts, while the Factory offers drills and safes, enticing players with better prices. The Rail Yard surprises with tank cars and locomotives, teeming with valuable scrap. As you shift deeper into these environments, heavier environmental factors come into play, raising the stakes for each haul.

Chain Reactions and Momentum Mechanics

Maintaining momentum is crucial. Continuously collecting items raises your chain, enhancing the speed and efficiency of your magnet. Achieving a "Frenzy" multiplies your pull, allowing you to gather even more scrap in less time. However, stopping causes your chain to decay, making every moment on the field critical. The explosive barrels introduce an additional risk, providing rewards without taking control away from you.

Session Bonuses Add Strategic Depth

Every successful return to the depot allows players to choose from three different session bonuses, with a total of 14 available. Each bonus stacks as you keep playing, offering a strategic layer to decisions made during runs. While you trade your bonuses for a restocked yard, your upgrades and cash remain intact. This mechanic raises the stakes, as longer sessions yield greater returns.

One-Handed Simplicity Meets Addictive Play

MAGNET embraces a straightforward control scheme, requiring just one hand and a mouse. With no timers, fail states, or punitive measures, the focus remains purely on the action and strategy of collecting metal. This design philosophy ensures that players can immerse themselves in the scrapyard without the pressure of conventional gaming obligations, creating a satisfying cycle of collection and progression.
