- Our next game is up on Greenlight! - 20 December 2015
For us here at Guru Games the journey with Magnetic began almost 3 years ago. Since then we have made a lot of improvements and changes from that first concept, taking it from a small concept into something that actually won Sweden Game awards back in 2014 and then ended up here on Steam. Since we launched Magnetic back in may we have been super busy with fixing the XBox One version, creating challenge maps for the free DLC and getting the game on different sales and promotions. We have our ups and down, but overall we are happy with the game and really hope that you are to. Now, at the end of the year, we are preparing for the next step, and that step is right now on Steam Greenlight awaiting your feedback and hopefully, approval. It would mean the world to us if you would check it out and vote for us! http://gurugames.se/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Greenlight-update-2.jpg You can find…

- Five Free Delightfully Frustrating Challenge Maps For the Fans! - 31 August 2015
Since we launched Magnetic back in May, there has been plenty of people demanding new content for the game. Some wanted ports to other platforms, whilst others wanted different types of guns. However the thing that people have been requesting the most, is more difficult puzzles and bigger levels which are not as “boxed in” (pun totally and completely intended) as those found in the original game. We’re proud to report that we have listened to these requests, and as per usual we might have even taken it a bit too far. We decided to unleash all of the pent-up sadistic creativity that we’ve been safely containing in the studio, and just let people go crazy with the level design. The result? These Five completely unique challenge maps that even hardcore puzzle fans will have trouble with: Adventure: A puzzle-focused map where fans of Magnetic will have to think carefully about how to use th…

This will be a free content pack and it is in the process of being packaged, fine-tuned and polished for all of you. Expect it to ready for release in just a few weeks!

- Portal Portals + Magnets = Magnetic: Cage Closed - 27 May 2015
Stop me if this sounds familiar. Imprisoned within an enclosed facility by a disembodied female voice, you re given control of a prototype weapon and led through a series of physics based puzzle rooms which… No, it’s not Portal . This is Magnetic: Cage Closed . Which seems very similar in a lot of ways, except for one; there are no portals. Instead, that untested gun in your hand allows you to control magnetic fields. Now you re thinking with Magnets. Hmm, come to think of it, that sounds familiar too… …
- Magnetic: Cage Closed developers show first 15 minutes - 20 May 2015
Magnets! If you're still not sure how they work, then maybe you should check out this new video from Guru Games, the developers of the upcoming first-person puzzle game Magnetic: Cage Closed . It contains the first 15 minutes of gameplay, and reveals a bit more about where you are, and why you're horsing around with all these blocks and buttons. The short answer to the latter question (and also the only one the video provides) is that if you don't, you'll die, although I expect the full game will dig deeper into that narrative element, much as Portal slowly revealed its secrets as it progressed. Other Portal similarities are quite obvious, including the use of cubes as a central component of gameplay and a menacing female voice urging the player forward. The "magnetic" angle also reminds me of Magrunner: Dark Pulse , and maybe it's just my imagination but I'm picking up a bit of a BioSh…
