There is a vertical conveyor belt that will drop down two blocks at a time. These include varying colors of left and right-facing magnets, along with conductor blocks. As they come down the middle of the screen, the only thing you can do with them at this point is press the button on the controller to make the blocks switch places next to each other. You can then use the down direction on the d-pad to bring the blocks down to the the horizontal conveyor belt that runs along the bottom of the screen.
While you can't move the blocks side-to-side as they're dropping down, you can move the conveyor belt at the bottom of the screen left or right, along with any blocks that are currently sitting on it.
"If you knew in advance that you would be stranded on a desert island, what games would you take to keep yourself entertained while you awaited rescue? Throughout this week, some of us will be answering that very question. Instead of a set number of games, each team member has been given 5000 Wii Points to spend on any combination of titles from the Wii Shop Channel, as well as the chance to nominate one game they just couldn't quite fit into their budget. What games will we choose to help pass the days, weeks and months isolated from civilization? Read on to find out!" -- Wiiloveit.com
Out of Eight writes: "Magnets are fun! They help us decorate our refrigerators and, uh, magnets are fun! But even more fun would be a computer game involving magnets: that'd be like double the fun. Or something. Magnetis is a puzzle game in the vein of Tetris or Dr. Mario (also known as "a total rip-off of Tetris"), where falling blocks must be matched and matched quickly, or else. Or else what? You do not want to know, my friend. This particular puzzle game was released on the magic white rectangular prism known to laymen as the Wii way back in 2009 C.E., and now it's the PC's turn. Should puzzle enthusiasts be drawn to Magnetis, or do opposites, in fact, repel?"
For £3.49 on Steam, Magnetis is at least priced well, being cheaper than any of its major competitors. However, Game Hub would still suggest to the prospective buyer to try the demo first (also available on Steam).
