Ferrous

A puzzle game where the player has three magnetism-based abilities. The player can attract objects towards them, repel objects away, and put objects in stasis. Combinations of these abilities are used to escape out of the building.

Meet Magnus! In the depths of a spaceship, a unique robot with magnetic abilities found itself activated and alone. 

Story

The ship was malfunctioning, its systems failing, and Magnus needed to escape to survive. With its power of magnetism, Magnus pushed and pulled its way through the damaged corridors of the spaceship. Debris and obstacles blocked its path, but Magnus's magnetic prowess allowed it to clear the way. It created magnetic bridges and repelled dangerous machinery, making its way to the ship's exit.
