A game about treasure, magnets, and very pressing debts.

In Magnético, you play as a down-on-his-luck magnet fisherman trying to pay off a hefty debt to the cartel. With only 3 days to scavenge $500 from the murky rivers of Mexico, you’ll need luck, precision, and a sharp eye for detail.

Toss your magnet into the water in search of ancient Aztec treasures—but beware! Not everything that shines is gold. Some finds are authentic artifacts, others are cheap souvenirs, or worse—convincing fakes. You’ll have to carefully inspect each item before deciding to cash it in…

Can you survive the week, or will the cartel come collecting?

Note

• Web build had some issues, for a better fishing experience we recommend playing the Windows build — sorry!
• Also… we had to rush the ending for the deadline, so there’s no quit button 😅
  (Alt+F4 works great though.)

Art & Music

All of the art and music in Magnético were created by us for the jam.
It was all made with love (and some panic) during the jam.
