Magnetoid is a beautifully designed game by Room 247 Studio that features an evil robot with magnetic abilities. The game is essentially an endless runner that you must avoid obstacles by tapping the screen to switch sides. Lets see if magnetic powers and endless running are enough to make this game a success.

This game is unforgiving and you will lose. At the beginning everything seems easy and collecting the batteries is your main concern. However as you move on the obstacles become more frequent and difficult to avoid by switching sides. With a little practise you can get better high scores. I like the pixel art of the game but I would like to see something more memorable for a soundtrack. Despite that the controls are very simple and responsive as you only need to touch the screen to switch sides and swipe up to activate your boost.

The addition of missions or unlockables would give the game more replay value and a sense of progression. To the audience that looks for quick fun this is definitely one of the games to consider. Start running!
SCORE: 3.5 OUT OF 5
