Magnet Drop

Tap to drop a magnet line into deeper and weirder layers — abandoned pools, subway tunnels, lava pipes — pulling up junk, fish, and cursed relics to sell.

Core mechanic

Tap to release the magnet, line auto-descends and auto-ascends collecting items; sell haul for upgrades that unlock the next depth and rarer pulls.

Controls

Tap to drop the line; release timing chooses depth range — totally one-thumb idle.

Theme

Tap-to-drop magnet fishing through cursed layers, riding the Tiny Fishing drop-cast loop into stranger territory.

Why now

Tiny Fishing is still the #2 trending Poki game with 632.6K likes; a depth-stranger twist (magnet + weird layers) is the obvious next mutation.

Hook
5/10

Tiny Fishing already uses drop-line/depth/collect-on-ascent/sell-for-upgrades almost identically; magnet + 'cursed relics' layers is a thin skin over a saturated core loop.Tiny Fishing page confirms exact drop-line/depth/sell mechanic with 4.6 rating

Virality
6/10

Line-drop physics with weird junk popping up is inherently visual and streamable, but novelty is muted because Tiny Fishing itself (632.6K likes, 705K votes) already dominates the format.Tiny Fishing's 632.6K likes and 705,848 votes show the format is proven-shareable but highly contested

Simplicity
9/10

One-thumb tap to drop, auto-descent/ascent, sell, upgrade — matches the buyHTML5 Tiny Fishing template and is trivially buildable.

Monetization
7/10

Hypercasual fishing/idle formats monetize cleanly: rewarded ads (revive line, double haul, skip wait), interstitials between casts, IAP for upgrade packs; top 100 hypercasual titles hit $345M IAP in H1 2025.H1 2025 top 100 hypercasual: 2.4B downloads, $345M IAP — monetization model is proven

Whitespace
3/10

Magnet-fishing theme is already crowded: 'Magnet Fishing: Relic Treasure' (Play Store, iOS id6477822624), 'Magnet fishing: treasure hunt' (iOS id6467234396) and 'Magnet fishing: 3d adventure' (exomind) all occupy the magnet+treasure/relic+depth niche, and Tiny Fishing occupies the drop-line+depth fishing mechanic — very little room left.Magnet Fishing: Relic Treasure already combines magnet + relics + scary catches, directly competing with this hookiOS counterpart of Relic Treasure confirms cross-platform saturation of the magnet+relic angle
