Cute and well-polished game! But isn't jumping a bit too weak here? Also I found a bug that if you are for example on level 3, come back on level 2, complete it and during all the completing animation and sound stuff you come back on level 3, you will open level 4.

Developer

oh no, not more bugs with loading levels D: we'll have a look once the jam is over!

This is probably my favorite game of the jam so far! Love the puzzles, art, and even the music is really good. I also really appreciate the LGBTQ support- I've seen a lot of games this jam about marriage or love, but it's nice to see one with that extra representation, especially given it's pride month. Awesome job all around.

Developer

That is a very major compliment, jimmyc5! Thank you for playing and the feedback. I am happy you enjoyed it! :)

This is very fun, polished -having a team goes a long way!-, nice presentation, I like the main mechanic- it was very original and something other than "2 characters on a rope". The only nitpicking I suffered (and it could be me) is that sometimes the characters got "stuck" moving very slowly, and that wasn't great player feedback- I didn't know if it was me doing something wrong or "exploiting" climbing a high slope.

Other than that, I think this is one of the cutest jam games.

Yes, there are definitely improvements to be made on the handling of the physics. :D

Thank you for your feedback, jynus, I am glad you enjoyed our little puzzler!

Very original and unique mechanic! And I like the music.

Such a good mechanic and clean implementation. Level designs are great and unique!

Puzzle design is really good.

take a bit to understand how high I can jump or how much the magnet pull effect each other.

after I understand it the puzzle is clear and enjoy to solve.

A very interesting and unique approach to the "controlling 2 characters at once" interpretation of the theme, the controls feel great (the gravity setting really feels weighty and magnet-y) and the puzzles were really pleasant to get through - I like how the eyes follow the mouse, just really nice extra polish touch!

Also after realising the pun is Soul Magnetes I have to clap you for it.

Developer

Thank you for playing and for the feedback! Fun fact: the eyes following the mouse were actually the very first bit of code I wrote for the jam. :)

Really fun concept, would love to see this be developed more with more levels and new mechanics. Could easily be made into a full game, great job!

Challenging but intuitive, I liked the spiral level. The love between the magnets was real!

Submitted(+3)

I found the gameplay intuitive (though I did get stuck on some levels down the line). Presentation is awesomeon both sound and graphics sides!

Submitted(+3)

the learning curb is there, but once you get past it this is a really fun charming little game, with great ambient music and adorable animations and sound effects, well done 

Submitted(+3)

Took me a little while to wrap my head around it, but once it clicked, I found it quite addicting! Nice work!

Saw this in the discord.

Great game! The levels were chellenging, but not too hard. Loved the mechanics with switching the magnets, also love the subtle LGBT support (having matchings of same color, trans- and non-binary magnets)!

Music and sound effects were also well chosen.

Well done :)

Developer

Yes!!! I am so happy, that you got all the character designs! <3

Music and Sound Effects were also completely self made during the jam. :)

I am glad you liked it! Thank you for playing and your feedback!

This was a very good game, I really enjoyed it. The level aesthetic with the chunky lines was really nice and once I understood what to do it was really fun to sit and puzzle out the answers. Thank you for including volume sliders as well. 

Really fun game, well done. 

Developer

Woah, THE Walrusware played our game!! Thank you so much for playing and the great feedback, I am happy you enjoyed it! :)

The game is really cute and the concept is original, good job!

Nice mechanic with good execution. Definitely a nice interpretation of Joined together, good job!

Submitted(+3)

Very neat graphics. The concept is very interesting, although i found some levels a bit clunky. Cool soundtrack too!

Submitted(+3)

This is a beautiful esthetic game very well executed and polish.~Please check mine, when you get time :D

The game is fine, but whenever the level switches, it stutters and the audio loops a small segment.

Developer(+1)

Sorry to hear that, you are the first to report this bug. May I ask what you play this on? (Tower / Laptop, Browser / Download)
If you want to answer privately, you can find me in Discord (Tyrix#6647)

Developer

Thank you for the feedback. Which version did you play, web or Windows? I guess the stutter stems from the camera work on level changes being done quick and dirty, this will be improved post-jam. What part of the audio did loop for you? The music or a sound effect?

I played on the web version with a Chromebook

The entire audio
