    A very engaging, and enjoyable arcade flinger based on magnets, complete with impeccable presentation.

    The Major impresses where it counts: gameplay and innovation.

    Major Magnet is a passionate project, one that tries to honor its forefathers while existing as its own original work. And it succeeds tremendously.

    Clever and very hard, this game reminds us of some good old classics, bringing its own personality and proposal to the genre.

    Major Magnet is a very clever puzzle game, original and addictive, with just some balancing issues. However, it's a recommended purchase.

    Major Magnet is a colourful, playable, and imaginative arcade casual game that suffers from a vertical difficulty curve.

    There’s a definite attraction here, but some parts manage to repel, too.

    Major Magnet doesn’t get out of its own way, and feels like just another also ran in the genre despite the neat theme, potential for speed, and high quality design. It’s also worth noting that although the game is set-up for speed, and flow the level design just doesn’t lend itself for either.

I took a $0.99 risk in purchasing this and am certainly not sorry!! It's hard to explain what an usual game this is, it's just such a weird (yet totally wonderful) mix of Sonic and Cut the Rope that I cannot bear to put it down hardly. Stunning soundtrack and visuals wrap this up to make the best dollar I've spent so far this year.… Full Review »
