Magnet Courier

Choose Start Shift on the title screen and you are already climbing the middle cable. The first three segments cannot hurt you: there are no gate plates, no wall gaps and no all-same-pole stretches, and a one-line tip appears each segment through segment 8. You can turn those tips off with Skip tips at any time.

No. Magnet Courier runs in the browser with no download, no account and no sign-in. There are no in-game purchases, no paid continues and no watch-an-ad revives, and the game makes no network requests while you play.

Press and hold on the left of your courier to aim left, or on the right to aim right, then lift your finger to launch. The whole playfield is pressable, the direction is measured against your courier rather than the middle of the screen, and both portrait and landscape use the same one-thumb control.

Hold Left Arrow or Right Arrow to charge in that direction and release the key to launch. A mouse uses the same hold-and-release action with the left button, pressed to whichever side of the courier you want to go. Escape pauses the shift; gamepads are not supported.

Batches are where the points are: one parcel on a band pays 100, two pay 300, three pay 600 and five pay 1500. Each delivered parcel adds up to 50 more depending on how fresh it still is, every gate you pass pays 40 for each parcel you are carrying, and finishing all 24 gates adds 2000. Staying alive by itself pays nothing.

A parcel expires 24 seconds after you pick it up, so anything you grab without checking the forecast is likely to burn out. The three symbols in the top bar are the next three delivery bands; if a parcel's symbol is not among them, the soonest band that could take it arrives after the 24 seconds are already gone. Leave those parcels on the cable.

From segment 4 onward the plate always blocks the cable you were on when you entered that segment, so you cannot ride the same cable through two gates in a row. Change cable somewhere in the segment rather than at the last moment, and skip the high pickup when you are carrying six or more parcels, because at that load you no longer have time to move before the gate arrives.

Your range shrinks as your bag fills, so a launch that cleared two cables while empty falls short once you are loaded. From two parcels onward, crossing two cables in one launch is impossible even with a full charge. Reaching the far cable also needs the near cable to match your colour so you pass through it, and the far one to differ so it catches you.

You get a 0.8-second recovery window, shown as a countdown glowing along the screen edge. Press once inside that window and you are pulled back to the nearest cable of the opposite colour, with 1.3 times your usual range on that pull. Do nothing and you fall, which costs one seal and restarts the segment. This can only happen where the side wall has a visible gap, from segment 9 onward.

You carry five seals, and hitting a gate plate, falling through a wall gap or letting a parcel go stale each costs one. Every accident also restarts the current segment and rolls back the parcels and points you collected in it, so you cannot farm the same segment. The accident after your last seal ends the shift.

Routes 2 to 5 unlock at 40, 120, 280 and 600 total segments cleared across all your runs, and they change the stripe rhythm and the mix of hazards rather than the delivery rules. Magnet skins come from the Daily Manifest: running it on 3, 7 and 14 consecutive days unlocks one each. Skins change the shell only — red and blue always mean the same thing.

Progress is stored in the current browser on the current device only, so your best score, totals, unlocked routes and daily streak do not follow you to another device, and clearing site data removes them. If a background layer fails to load, the error screen offers Try Again or Play Anyway, and the cables, parcels and gates work either way. For silent audio, switch Sound back on in the pause panel and check your device's mute switch.
