In what way does your game fit the theme?
The power of magnetism is stronger the closer magnets are together
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
using stylizer tool otherwise yes

Man, puzzles get quite tricky when thorns are introduced and you have to deal with momentum. Want more of these!
Loved how the story is told subtly and wordlessly. Imagine this enormously huge mechanism around us, occupying the whole world for reasons not understandable by a human being.
I really love the art design and the music! The fact that the sounds ensure you about the right choices is excellent! The animation are pretty cool, although i would love to see a jumping animation too. Overall, really exciting work!!
Wow! I absolutely love these graphics. You managed to make it look so smooth in such a good amount of time (in 3D as well), I have mad respect for that. The camerawork is really nice as well, I think this is a really strong game :) I especially love the little magnet guy and his walk cycle, great work!
I like this deep atmosphere. Game design is good, bud some parts of the level not so obvious at start.
Cool stylizer
I love the graphics, so unique, great work!
Really cool game. The atmosphere is amazing!
very nice game, i really like the animation of the character.congrats
If you can play my game and rate it, i will be very glad

wow! just wow! this game is amazing! i cant stop playing its so fun! the only thing is that i wish some of the levels would be more straight forward wut to do and i really really wish i would be able to pause the game cuz it makes sense u wouldnt make a save system but if im playing and then i have a zoom class then i cant close the game:( i really love this game so frickin much! the graphics, the camera angles, the gameplay! way to go! (i was wondering if the game is actually 3D and u just made the res much les but its beautiful)
this game is for sure in my top 3 picks
Ou I like this game. Its really cool and the graphics are beautiful.
Suberb game! Everything from the sound design, to the graphics, to the camera work, to the cool pixellated filter was excellent! I really enjoyed the game, but the game was a bit finicky at times. I wish that you could prioritize magnetizing on the direction you're holding, the lack of control made it really finicky to make it past sections like the following:
Kept magnetizing back to the place I walljumped frum
This was another section that suffered because of that. Btw did you know you can jump across spikes like this?
Got baited by this background element, jumped off the cliff and died roughly 0.2 seconds after this picture.
Overall excellent game, I especially liked the section with the big boy that evaporates you! I also liked how the 'story' progressed, although I feel like the last and second-to-last levels should be swapped story-wise, so it can build up a sense of dread for those things before you see one up close.
(also the Z for the tutorial looked like a 2 in the tutorial so I had to go to the itch page to find the controls, I might just be stupid though)
thank you for the detailed review! i understand your critique of the controls. im not sure if magnetizing in the direction you click is the solution because it would kill many of the other puzzles, but i can try and tackle that in another way. and i was amused to see that spike exploit on a stream! luckily it doesnt let you cheese the puzzle though :P
Yee my idea was that it would prioritize magnetizing in the direction you're holding, but if the magnetic surface in that direction was too far away it would still magnetize to the closer surface. But you're the game dev, I'm sure you can think of a more elegant solution! And yeah I thought I was so clever until I realized that I couldn't jump back up on the platform
I would have been happy at the end of the first level knowing what I went threw with my game but then there were a few more and the ending was perfect. Some of the obstacles like the magnetic spikes blew my mind how clever they were. Loved the audio queues when nearing the end of a level and sticking the magnetic landing after those magnetic spiked for example. Crazy good job!
Blown away by this entry, what a experience! I love the design of the little magnet guy, and the mechanic is so well tie together with the theme! I'm amazed you managed to get such a solid game in just a week, superb really.
Amazingly polished and really really well designed mechanics, just overall one of the most solid jam games ive ever seen
Awesome design, mechanics, and musical craft. This is a GREAT Jam game! I wish the controls were a little more intuitive and not all crunched up in the corner, but considering this games size and playability already, that could easily be ironed out. I'd love to know how you got the pixelated design!
thanks a lot! you should look into pixelate shaders, there are free ones on the internet, or you can purchase some also on the unity asset store. its a 3d game with that pixelated filter over the camera :)
Wow, I’m blown away by what you were able to do in 5 days? This feels super polished and I had a great time playing it. I feel like you explored all the angles of this magnet mechanic really well, thanks for sharing this!
Here’s my game if you’d like to give it a play.
thank you im glad you liked it! it was 5 days non stop work
i feel like this game will win
Wow amazing game!!
welldone mechanics and garphics

Really cool jam submission, it looks and sounds absolutely amazing. One thing to improve is to maybe make it clearer, what I can jump on, as I tried to jump on some platforms which looked fine, but I just dropped down and died. But overall nice job, keep it up!
thats a good point, i never thought that maybe some background platforms might look jumpable but it makes perfect sense. thanks for playing!
The world is amazing, the polish and the art... I love every bit of it.
