About

Magnet Field

Features
Read full description

Polarity Match is a quiet, minimalist puzzle about magnets, color, and the trouble caused by one bad pull. Every block on the field carries an arrow. Release a magnet and it travels along its arrow until it meets the first block in its path. If the colors match, the pair clears. If they don't, the magnet parks and locks in place - no penalty, but the field just got tighter. Clear the whole field without stumbling into a three-fault gridlock. One rule decides every move: match the first color in the arrow's path. Everything else is field vocabulary you pick up as you go. WHAT'S INSIDE • 69 levels across seven notebook chapters, ending with three agent-authored expert trials. • A no-timer Daily Field: one fresh puzzle every day, fully playable offline. • Mechanics that build on each other - anchored magnets, direction-switchers, iron obstructions, one-way gates, and chain cascades. • Undo, restart, and an optional hint for when a field gets stuck. • A built-in Field Guide that explains every mark with real examples. • Three-star scoring based on how cleanly you clear each field. CALM BY DESIGN No timers, no lives, no ads interrupting a solve. Play a single puzzle or a whole chapter at your own pace. MADE TO BE PLAYED BY ANYONE • Color-assist shapes for color-blind players. • Reduced-motion mode for a calmer board. • Full screen-reader support with live board announcements. • Stays readable at 200% text on small screens. OFFLINE FIRST, PRIVATE BY DEFAULT The full game works with no account and no connection. Progress is stored on your device and syncs only if you choose to connect. Puzzle diagnostics are off by default, and anything you export contains no account identifiers or credentials. Read the arrow. Release the magnet. Clear the field.
