About Magnetizer

Platform: NES
Developer: Jakim
Year: 2023
Genre: Puzzle
Players: 1
License: Homebrew

A logic puzzle about escaping a labyrinth: push a piece that keeps sliding until it hits something, and find the way out.

Every move has to be planned, because the piece never stops halfway. There are seven level sets of varying difficulty, and the menu tracks your progress in each.

It is Jakim's NES port of a game by Wackyjackie, who came up with the idea and the graphics. Jakim wrote the NES code and the music, and the levels are by Jakim, Wackyjackie and klapekboy. The sound engine is Shiru's FamiTone2. It came out on 24 April 2023, and the source is on GitHub.

How to play

Controls: In the menu Up and Down pick the level and Left and Right the set. In play the D-pad moves, B restarts, A skips to the next level and Select returns to the menu.
