Each block shows one of three symbols, a dark gray circle, a light gray circle, and a white circle.
When ever any of blocks with matching symbols touch they will form a link.
By moving the cursor over a chain and clicking on it the player will be given points based on its size on the chain will be removed.
The goal is to get a large score while making sure that new pieces can still enter the field.
Once no more pieces can enter the game ends.
Blocks fall at the same time one square apart, when the next set of blocks fall they will occupy the space given by the previous drop.
The "magnet" aspect of Mingle Magnet come into play in how the player can control the placement of the blocks.
All the blocks are attracted to a magnet which, although not seen, can be placed on any side of the field.
All blocks will be drawn to the magnet.
For example, if one has the magnet at the south of the field and then puts it to the north what was the top of the block pile will now be the bottom, and blocks will fall onto what was the bottom.
The direction of the magnet is indicated by a magnetic field animation behind the action.
This game is played vertically.
About WonderSwan
Bandai's WonderSwan (1999) was a Japan-only handheld designed with input from Nintendo Game Boy creator Gunpei Yokoi's team, and it built a respectable library before being succeeded by the color version. Since it never released outside Japan, WonderSwan collecting is entirely an import hobby internationally, with complete, boxed copies especially prized by handheld collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Mingle Magnet for WonderSwan with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Mingle Magnet to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This WS release dates back to 1999.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Mingle Magnet, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common WonderSwan titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
