Magnetic Experiments
Magnetic Experiments turns the familiar forces of attraction and repulsion into a brain-teasing playground. Each level presents a compact arena filled with obstacles, switches, and movable objects. Your goal is to use a central magnet's pull or push to guide a specific item—often a metal ball or block—onto a target zone or through an open gate. Success demands careful timing, spatial reasoning, and a steady hand, as the magnet's influence affects everything in its radius. The game's charm lies in its escalating complexity. Early stages teach you the basics of polarity and distance, but soon you'll juggle multiple objects, dodge hazards, and account for moving platforms. The clean, minimalist visuals keep focus on the physics, while the snappy level retry system encourages experimentation. Whether you have a few minutes or an hour, the puzzle design offers a satisfying loop of trial, error, and 'aha' moments.

What is Magnetic Experiments
Magnetic Experiments is a compact arcade puzzler that puts you in control of magnetic forces. Drag your magnet around the stage, and use polarity to steer objects to their destinations.
How to Play
Drag your mouse (or finger on touch devices) to move the magnet around the play area. Objects with the same polarity are repelled, while opposite polarities attract—so plan your moves to push or pull items into the goal zone.
Tips for Playing
- Study the level layout first to spot the target zone and potential obstacles.
- Try both polarities—sometimes the solution is easier with repulsion than attraction.
- Move the magnet slowly to fine-tune the trajectory of rolling or sliding objects.
- Use walls to your advantage to bounce or guide objects around corners.
- If a level feels stuck, restart—it often takes less time than untangling a mess.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main objective in Magnetic Experiments?
The goal is to move a specific object, usually a ball or block, to a marked exit zone by manipulating magnetic forces.
How do I control the magnet?
You control the magnet by dragging it with your mouse or finger. Moving it closer to objects increases the magnetic effect.
Can I switch the magnet's polarity?
Yes, most levels allow you to toggle between attraction and repulsion, which is essential for solving puzzles.
Are there any hazards in the levels?
Later levels introduce obstacles like spikes, moving walls, or pits that can destroy the object or block your path.
Is there a time limit?
No, each level is untimed, so you can take as long as you need to figure out the solution.
Does the game work on mobile devices?
Yes, the controls are touch-friendly, so you can play on tablets and phones without any issue.
