Everything metal wants to come to you. Let it. Magnet Dash is a one-thumb endless runner. Drag left and right, and your magnet does the rest — screws, bolts, coins, gears and whole appliances curve through the air and snap into your pile. The faster you collect, the higher your combo climbs. The further you go, the faster the world gets. How far can you dash? FEEL THE PULL Objects don't teleport — they hesitate, spin, and arc toward you. Grab a dense field of scrap and watch the chain reaction. GET STRONGER EVERY RUN Spend your haul on permanent upgrades: reach further, lift heavier metal, earn more per object, collect faster. A level-1 magnet can't budge a safe. A maxed one can. CHOOSE YOUR BOOST Drive through gates for timed power-ups — double range, double coins, or take the risky path: triple coins, but a faster, meaner track. EVERY RUN IS DIFFERENT Journey from the Scrapyard through the Factory to the Vault and beyond. Layouts change every run, zones change the look and the loot. WATCH OUT Red walls end your run. Crates jam your magnet. Thieves steal your coins. Heavy anchors are too big to lift — upgrade your magnet, or they drag you in and crush you. THE FINAL HAUL When your run ends, one last pile of metal flies in — bigger the further you got. Then chase your high score again. ALSO • 9 magnet skins and 11 runner outfits to unlock • Daily rewards • Game Center leaderboard and achievements • Play offline • Free to play; optional ads and purchases No account. No signup. Just drag and dash.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Magnet Dash at 5.0 against Air Wings®'s 4.3. Magnet Dash also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and update cadence (daily vs weekly). Air Wings®'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
