About Unstable Attraction
It works like a stacking merge puzzle, except the pieces push and pull on each other.
Two magnets of the same size snap together and become one larger magnet, which adds to your score. Opposites repel, so a careless drop can send magnets you already placed flying across the arena.

The magnets come in several sizes, and the pile keeps growing below the line as you drop more. Once the stack climbs back over the line, the run is over.
Turning a magnet before you let go is your main tool for lining it up with a match. A good drop lands right next to a twin and merges, while a bad one can scatter half the pile.
Quick summary
- Each turn you get a magnet above the white line to turn and drop.
- Landing it on a magnet of the same size merges the two into a larger one and earns points.
- Repulsion between opposites shoves pieces around, so the pile never stays still for long.
- The game ends when the magnets pile up past the line.
Key features
- You control rotation by holding the mouse button and drop by letting go.
- Magnets start small and grow through repeated merges.
- Bigger merged magnets are worth more points.
- The game runs in portrait on mobile devices as well as in a desktop browser.
Tips & tricks
- Switch to fullscreen for a clearer view of the pile and more precise drops.
- Finish rotating before you release so the new magnet faces the one you want it to join.
- Spread small magnets out instead of stacking them on one side, because a lopsided tower reaches the line faster.
- Go for chains of merges into large magnets, since those bring in the most points.
Frequently asked questions
What ends a game of Unstable Attraction?
The run stops when magnets stack up high enough to cross the white line.
How do I make a magnet bigger?
Drop it onto another magnet of the same size and the two combine into a larger one.
Why did my magnets suddenly fly across the screen?
Opposites repel, so dropping a magnet next to the wrong neighbor pushes pieces away instead of pulling them together.
