About Magnetic Bond
Magnetic Bond is a local 2-player cooperative physics puzzle built for tablet and phone in landscape orientation, or for two players sharing one keyboard on desktop. The goal is straightforward: work with a partner to guide a metallic core through the green Extraction Portal. What makes it demanding is that neither player can do it alone — Blue (+) attracts the core while Red (−) repels it, and every level is designed around that division of magnetic force.
The puzzle design escalates steadily. Early levels establish the push-pull dynamic, then introduce Drone Shields, Ion Barriers, Conduit Switches, pressure-plate doors, and rotating lasers. In the final sectors the roles flip entirely — Blue holds the doors while Red handles all the pushing — so both players need to stay alert to which role they're actually playing at any given moment.
How to Play Magnetic Bond: Guide the Core to the Portal
Magnetic Roles
- Blue (+): pulls the core toward it.
- Red (−): pushes the core away from it.
- Drone Shields: let the core pass through but block the drones. Red must line up behind the core and push it in.
Pressure Plates and Doors
- Each player has their own glowing pressure plate.
- A door stays open only while every plate linked to it is held — step off and it slams shut immediately.
- Some doors are remote, and some are opened specifically for a partner to cross.
Hazards and Special Mechanics
- Keep both drones within 160px of each other to fire the Resonance Arc.
- Hold the Resonance Arc near purple Ion Barriers to vaporize them.
- Hold the Resonance Arc on Conduit Switches to charge them.
- Dodge rotating lasers while guiding the core toward the green Extraction Portal.
