Things I liked: This has a lot of potential and it is very well made. I would love it if I could understand what to do lol. The graphics were also really nice.

Things I disliked: The music is ok but it is too short and it repeats too quickly. The X on the corner of the items is supposed to delete them? Because it isn't working for me.

A visual tutorial may make the game too easy for people who know about the subject, but for most of us it is a necessity. I have no idea about electromagnetic devices so I got stuck at the first level. Then I read your reply to Ashkman and I understood what to do, but then I got stuck again in the second level XD

Also... I didn't understand how it fits the theme :P

Glad you think it has potential. I realized the bug in which you cant delete objects too late. it only happens when you place a object on a blue object (i think it was some issue with layers). I might add a visual tutorial since its something many people are getting confused about.
The way it fits the theme is kind of a stretch :P. Basically to create actual electromagnetic devices, you need to 'wind' coils so that's why

I can only talk about aesthetics and music of the game which were great. But I don't know anything about electromagnetic devices, so for first level I ended up searching "how to make electromagnetic force with batteries and coil" :D  So I connected the coil to positive and negative of one battery but nothing happened. Is there something I'm missing?

And also being able to rotate and move items you've already placed would be nice.

Oh and I just wanted to say I don't know if you have made educational games before or not, but even though I'm not educated about the subject of this game, I think it would make a great educational game if you polish it and add more levels.

Thanks for the feedback.  You had to make two electromagnets that repel each other. One on the ground and another on the box. Im glad you think this has potential  😀

I have no knowledge of electromagnetism sooo I got kinda stuck... Perhaps someone who knows something about it can appreciate the beauty of this game! :^)

Hope you had fun making it! ^^

Developer

Thanks Dude! really appreciate you trying it out though its not your area..... How far did you get though? Im just curious about how hard it is for regular people(In case i want to expand on the game in the future).

I tried out 2 levels I think. I put some batteries, wires, coils, nothing was happening (╥╯^╰╥)

Consider adding a tutorial-like level where people learn how to make a motor. Makes it easier to handle the rest of the levels I think.

Good luck!! ^^
