Iron Friend
Iron Friend turns magnetism into a brain-teasing adventure. You’re paired with a small metallic sidekick that needs to reach the exit of each compact stage. The catch: the little guy can’t move on his own. Instead, you manipulate a set of magnetic blocks scattered around the level, nudging, pulling, or repelling your companion into position. Each stage introduces fresh environmental twists, from rotating platforms to double-sided barriers, which keeps the logic fresh and the challenge steady. The game shines when you start experimenting. Place a block at the right angle and your friend zips across a gap; shift it slightly and he’ll tumble into a wall. The physics feel responsive, and each puzzle rewards a moment of thought before you act. With dozens of hand-crafted levels, you’ll find yourself saying “one more try” long after you’ve solved the current one.

What is Iron Friend
Iron Friend is a puzzle game where magnetism is your only tool. Your goal is to help a small metal companion traverse cleverly designed levels using magnetic blocks.
How to Play
Drag and drop magnetic blocks around the play area to attract or repel your iron buddy. Position them strategically to create paths or push him toward the level’s exit.
Tips for Playing
- Experiment with both sides of a magnet — sometimes you need to repel, not attract.
- Look ahead one or two moves; sometimes the solution requires moving a block out of the way first.
- Use the environment’s fixed walls to your advantage when guiding your companion around corners.
- If you’re stuck, try placing a block on a different edge — the angle matters more than you think.
- Replay old levels to spot shortcuts or hidden paths you might have missed.
