I love the little characters and the engaging gameplay. My only problem is that the voice that says "WINNER!" and things like that can be annoying to me. I love the puzzles, and Game Maker's Toolkit did a devlog on his game about magnets.I reccomend checking it out, it's a really good series.
Very good game, with very good mechanics, quite entertaining
It's one of the several games that have serious potential as a commercial game as it is. It can get crazy with horizontally scrollable and longer levels. Physics work smoothly as far as I could play. It's quite difficult as I couldn't pass Stage 2 even after 6-7 tries. I always end up falling down as I don't pay enough attention to the opened gaps while trying to hit the aliens above. Graphics should be mentioned as well. They look very cute and authentic.
Awesome!
A fantastic game that I was eager to complete !
One of the best-made ones in this game jam for me, Bravo !
PS : I didn't quite grasp how to use the magnet extension in GDevelop, but you've implemented it beautifully. I'd appreciate some tips on using it effectively too ( I was thinking of magnetizing power-ups in my game, but I couldn't quite get it right )...
Thank you so much, I am glad you liked it!
I actually didn't know that a magnet extension existed. The ball is just a dynamic physics body and when the magnet is on I apply a force towards the magnet from the body's mass center, then I simply deactivate the physics behavior when it touches the magnet and set the balls position to a point in front of the magnet. It is probably not what you are looking for but I hope it helps
Ok great that's a good idea for next time but I have not use physics body in my game this time...
Undoubtedly, one of the most captivating and enjoyable games in this game jam. I'm truly fascinated by how effectively you've incorporated the theme, resulting in a genuinely enjoyable experience. It's worth noting that this is among the very few games I've managed to play through entirely. Great job! I hope to see this game available on platforms like Steam or mobile devices in the future.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to write this :D
Taking into account our earlier discussion, I've come to agree with the point you guys raised. Currently, I'm focusing on composing detailed opinions about the games in the jam.
I made a magnet game too! Being able to launch the ball and then pull it back is a great mechanic. It's a bit tricky to balance controlling the robot, doing the magnets and trying not to destroy the ground beneath you, so I think for a future update simplifying it could be a good idea. Still, great, fun game!
If you have a moment, I'd really appreciate it if you played and rated my entry as well :)
Of course my fellow magnet developer I would love to!
And yeah it is hard making a game like this accessible for everyone while also providing enough difficulty for engagement, but with some of the comments I can see that I should keep the casual gamer in mind. Next time I make a game like this I should probably add some accessibility options, maybe something so simple as an option to make the crate have more hit points when standing on it or an option to make it invincible
lol the sound effects were top notch! "BEGIN" "LOSER". I liked the idea of the metal ball and magnet, but man is it tricky to get right. I'd prob ease the difficulty down a bit. Maybe have different balls with different properties? The first one is a lot easier to manage? Still, pretty fun! Great work!
very nice graphics
Really enjoyed this. The Hand Drawn Style is smooth and nice, The Mechanics of the metal ball and magnet are not buggy and I was able to strategically use them to kill aliens. I also like how the ones in UFO's could only be killed from the top, It added a nice layer of difficulty. Only thing is the movement didn't work for me. Good Job. 👍🏾
Thanks I appreciate it!
When you say they didn't work for you, did you mean that you would have preferred a different control scheme or that you couldn't actually move?
I actually couldn't move which is weird for some reason. I think it may be on my end as I don't think anyone else has had the same problem.
It is first time I have heard of the issue, what browser are you using? Well anyway I am sorry that you couldn't get the full experience. If you feel like it you are welcome to try the downloadable version or maybe the one on gd.games, but there is a lot of other games to go through so I understand if you don't feel like using the time, but anyways thanks for dropping by!
Hey it seems to be working now! I feel like it probably was something on my side but I'm not sure what. Anyways I'm glad it's working now.
That is a relief! Thanks for the confirmation!
👍🏾
This is so far the best game I ever played on this game jam. Great work. very polished game.
very very very nice game! made sure to give you a high rating!
(can you check out my game to I will appreciate it a lot!)
Too much fun, somehow it made me remember something about flash games, I don’t know exactly what, but I appreciate the feeling.
Wow, your game is very polished, I especially love the voice over! I really like how easy to understand your game is, and that the difficulty ramps up progressively. Arrow controls would have been nice, but besides that, great work!
Very cool! The physics felt very good and I liked the art a lot! The music was also catchy and the sound effects were a nice touch. Very fun game!
Very polished experience! Love the stages where there's multiple orders to take out the enemies before they get to you, and also love how the ball only destroys flying enemies if it bops them on the top.
Awesome game! Great implementation of physics. Very smooth. And the overall gameplay is great as well.
Very funny and satisfying. Animations are smooth and the physic fit well !
A lot of fun, love fighting the aliens in the UFOs and how they can interact with the terrain, only nitpick is that I this the announcer voice is kinda out of place but that's it. Love the art btw
Thanks for playing, I am glad you had fun!
It was my first time doing hand drawn animation so I really appreciate you saying that :D
