About the Game

If you like foddian games, challenge, fun and a little bit of anger, magman is just the beast for you. The production quality of this game is at the very bottom of any list of games you can come up with and you can bet you will spend more time finishing the game than I've spent building it. But there is a beauty in that.

I don't exactly know where, but there surely is.

Anyway, the game is a standard one-map foddian design. You spawn at the very bottom, in a cave. Your task? Get to the top.
Along the way, you'll encounter multiple obstacles that you have to overcome, using your hand-built electromagnet. You're the magman after all...

The game saves your progress at all times. No checkpoints, no difficulty-choosing prompt, just the game. The time to play depends hugely on your skill with foddian games. It can be around a few hours. But it can also be much, much longer.
