About the Game

MagNets: an intense arcade-style robot-recycling collect-em-up! Players must fight to restore order in Polarity City, one arena at a time. Do this by capturing malfunctioning Bloxbots in your Electromagnetic Nets (or 'MagNets'), and recycling them into tools to complete the level and power-ups to survive their attacks!

Featuring:


  • Compulsive, frantic and challenging gameplay over three difficulties: Medium, Hard and Impossible
  • Single-player campaign with 20 levels over 4 zones
  • Two-player local PvP!
  • Child-friendly casual mode (more health, no highscores)
  • Character unlocks
  • Optimised for controller play

MagNets is made by Total Monkery, an independent family-run games studio in Devon, England. Collaborators on MagNets include Phil Corbett (Concept Art), award-winning musician Jamie Hamshere (Music and SFX) and Harry Holmwood (Music).
