Magnetic Circuit
Magnetic Circuit flips the classic puzzle genre on its head by turning electricity into a playground of magnetic forces. Instead of simply drawing wires, you'll need to figure out how to position magnets, coils, and conductors so that energy flows from one node to the next. Every level is a fresh puzzle box, with walls, gaps, and moving parts that force you to think about polarity, distance, and the order of operations. The game rewards patience and experimentation, letting you undo mistakes or reset pieces as you test your theories. Success feels like a small victory in applied physics, but the game never gets preachy about the science—it just lets you enjoy the satisfaction of a completed circuit. With a clean, minimalist art style and a soothing soundtrack, the game keeps your mind engaged without overwhelming your senses. Whether you're new to logic puzzles or a seasoned solver, each stage offers a gentle increase in complexity that keeps you hooked.

What is Magnetic Circuit
Get ready to bend magnets and spark your brain in Magnetic Circuit, a puzzle game that turns electrical engineering into a fun challenge.
How to Play
Drag and drop magnetic components onto the grid, then rotate or move them to connect power sources to output devices. Make sure the polarity aligns and nothing blocks the flow of current.
Tips for Playing
- Look for the path of least resistance—sometimes one move can link multiple gaps.
- Pay attention to the color of the magnets; opposite poles attract and complete the circuit.
- Don't forget to check if a switch needs to be toggled before the power can pass.
- Use the reset button liberally; it's faster than undoing step by step.
- Think about the whole layout before placing your first piece.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main goal in Magnetic Circuit?
The goal is to arrange magnetic components so that electrical current flows from a source to a target device, lighting it up or activating it.
Can I play this game on my phone?
Yes, the game is designed for both desktop and mobile browsers, though touch controls might be easier.
What happens if I get stuck on a level?
There's a hint system that gradually reveals part of the solution, but you can also just reset and try a different approach.
Is this game purely about electricity?
No, it mixes electricity with magnetism, so you'll also need to understand how magnetic fields can guide or block current.
How many levels are there?
The game features dozens of levels, with more being added regularly, so you'll always have new puzzles to solve.
