A little difficult to intuit when to change polarity but I really like the idea, like a sciencey Flappy Bird lol. Also fun interpretation of the theme.

It is intentional that the gameplay is a bit complicated to learn, but it should also provide room for improvement. We wanted to interpret the theme in an original way and this was the result xD I'm very glad you liked the idea and I hope you had fun playing!

Really enjoyed this one! The use of opposite powers to interpret the theme was a great touch. The gameplay is both challenging and fun, and I found myself coming back for multiple runs.

Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the interpretation of the theme, it was fun to design too! I'm glad you enjoyed the game too and especially that it managed to convince you to play it again, that was a very important factor for us :D

Love the interpretation of the theme and the little particle :) Having some trouble controlling, it often feel like I'm moving in fits and stops, or like the field isn't having much effect on me. Like the presentation a lot though, just wish I could feel like I was mastering it

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you liked the particle, my own creation <3 The controls are indeed tricky to manage and there is definitely room for improvement to make it smoother! The attraction of magnetic fields depends on your proximity to the source of the field, in fact graphically the coloured halos become more intense near the source to help you understand this mechanism. It's deliberate that it takes time and practice to master it xD thanks again for your time and the constructive criticism!
