Mail Magnet

Flip magnetic polarity to shunt parcels along iron rails and around broken track gaps before the queue overruns the depot.

Core mechanic

Tap to toggle north/south polarity on your magnet; swipe to launch the next parcel; parcels ride rails and react to your polarity to swing around gaps.

Controls

Tap anywhere to toggle polarity; swipe up to release the next parcel from the dock.

Theme

Snowy mail depot with iron rail networks, red postal carts, and chuffing steam.

Why now

Magnetic-puzzle shorts are trending on TikTok with how-to-solve clips, and mail theme hasn't been used.

Hook
5/10

Magnetic polarity puzzle hooks exist but trend claim is thin; 'Polarity - Magnet Puzzle' and 'MagTok: Magnetic Puzzle' already shipped without breakout headlines.Direct polarity-magnet puzzle title already on App Store (2026 release)MagTok magnetic puzzle on Google Play shows the mechanic isn't novel

Virality
5/10

Satisfying magnetic content (magnetic stones) does perform on TikTok, but no evidence that polarity-puzzle shorts specifically are trending; generic hypercasual puzzle clips dominate instead.Magnetic stones 'viral TikTok game' shows the satisfying-magnet niche existsTikTok trending hypercasual puzzles are generic, not polarity-specific

Simplicity
5/10

Tap-to-toggle + swipe-to-launch is mechanically simple, but the rail + gap + queue-overrun loop adds non-trivial state for players to track in a hypercasual context.
