Jikai Shounen Met Mag is a challenging action-puzzle game developed by Thinking Rabbit and published by Square under their DOG label for the Famicom Disk System in 1987. You play as a protagonistโwhose gender you can select at the start of the gameโwho navigates grid-based levels by manipulating magnetic polarity. By switching between red and blue polarities, you interact with colored arrows, repel or attract blocks, and solve complex spatial puzzles to reach the exit.
How to play
The goal of each stage is to solve the magnetic puzzles and guide your character to the exit door. You can switch your character’s magnetic polarity, which affects how you interact with blocks and arrows in the environment. Like poles repel each other, while opposite poles attract, allowing you to push or pull objects to clear paths or create platforms.
Default Controls
Since this title was designed for the Famicom (NES), you can play it directly in your browser using standard controls: use the Arrow Keys to move your character, Z and X to act and switch polarity, and Enter to start or pause the game.
Tips
– Pay close attention to the color of the magnetic arrows; matching or opposing their color with your own polarity will determine whether you are pushed away or drawn towards them.
– Plan your route before moving blocks, as it is easy to trap yourself or block the exit if you push a magnetic block into a corner.
