An Alien With a Magnet Game and Storyline An Alien with a Magnet is a puzzle * game by Rejected Games. The protagonist is an alien who is lost in space and has to go home. Your task will be to guide him to the end of all the levels that make up the adventure.
* In fact the developers have defined it an action/arcade/puzzle/adventure/rotating-platformer! (a.k.a. AAPARP)
Each level's Gameplay consists of planets, each endowed with their own gravity. The Whole game is based on the simple concept of traveling through the game map from one planet to another by exploiting the rotation given by the force of gravity as momentum, collecting gems, stars and spheres.
Getting Around is easy because you use only one key to activate the magnet that allows you to attack the celestial body.
In fact, Holding down A (or left mouse button) activate the Magnet... It's All about using your instrument with the correct timing to avoid ending off course and/or crashing.
In Advanced levels You will also have a limit on the ship's battery, which needs to be recharged by swirling around the "generators" planets. The battery exhaustion is the same as a crash, that is, you have to start the level again.
Stars, gems and spheres will decide the final score of the level, allowing you to compete with other players on the leaderboards.
Also in some levels there are some additional elements such as teleporters, cannons, Worlds "puzzles", all elements necessary for the complete exportation of the level... AND giant magnets that function as power-ups, which collect all the elements that enter the beam without necessarily having to pass over it.
The Story Mode consists of a total of 26 "basic" levels and 2 Other level types, unlockable and bonus ones.
Those bonuses are levels with the same concept as the basic ones but they unlock by finding the secret output within the corresponding base level. They recognize the star that appears instead of the number. Usually they simply aim to collect gems and points.
Unlockable Ones are branches of the optional "map levels" that can be opened with the collected gems.
It is also possible to play the "timed" mode in which the goal is to redo the same levels of the adventure, but with the goal of getting to the exit the possible before.
Graphics and Sound The environments are well designed, the planets are often different from each other, not only in color but also in the plot.
The story is told with Cute comics.
The music is produced by the same composer who worked at the OST of Castle Crashers (and other titles), a masterpiece!.
Additional DLC This Game has no DLC.
Achievements In All there are 20 Achievements. Nothing particular, although for some I found myself at the end of the game, after completing it to 100%, to have to make (gems, puzzles...) because you do not succeed during the adventure, a bit ' boring.
Conclusions One of the funniest puzzle game I've played lately. The concept is very unique and original and took me right away. All seasoned with excellent graphics and incredible music. A definitely positive experience... And it costs relatively little.
The only flaw is maybe being a little short. In 4 hours I finished all the game and achievements, but fortunately you can try to beat the time records and points of each level. A challenge that can lengthen the longevity of the title.
I Recommend absolutely!!!
