Really good concept, although there were some minor bugs. I loved using magnets to get a boost!

Wow really cool game. I wish there had been more content, but this is a lot of fun, I really like the pull / boost mechanics. Great work!

Submitted(+2)

Super cool idea, style and game, but you should work with controller and physics. Anyway, very good work!

Awesome concept and I really enjoy the art! However, the controls are a bit wonky and did have a bug where I somehow managed to get behind all the platforms and objects in the first stage, but I mean bugs are always a part of  game jams so no worries! Overall, great job! :D

Yeah that bug is unfortunate... Due to the time pressure we forgot to fully enforce the depth plane, so that you cannot in any case leave the z plane the characters are supposed to be moving on. But we are really glad too hear that you enjoyed the concept :D We will try to build upon the idea and make it into an actual game

It's really fun!

I didn't know you could use a magnet like this!

I want to see more stages!

Great use of the theme, really engaging game play! My only problem is that R restarts a level and I hit it by accident few times

Developer(+1)

I laughed when i read that because we talked about our concern that people may restart the level by accident. We will concider changing the key. Thank you for your feedback!!

Really good concept and good execution

Fun game, gave me a bit of a portal vibe while playing. Nice graphics and sounds, really well done!

Submitted(+2)

Very nice take on the magnet mechanism concept and thematic too. There are some weird physics but nothing too major, once I get the hang of the controls it becomes a lot more easier and enjoyable, then I found my self wanting more than just 2 levels haha, well done!

Developer

Hey, thank you for your feedback! You pretty much summed up what we felt about our game too, haha.

We had so many ideas about level design but after struggling with the physics for at least 24h we just did not have enough time :(

Submitted(+2)

I totally get how that feel! So many ideas get left out cause of some unforeseen problems eating up all the time, especially game physics related issue. But yeah, it still turn out pretty good in proving the concept which is quite fun, so well done!

Really cool concept. The physics at times can feel a little unusual but overall, good job.

Submitted(+2)

Wow, the idea of linked magnets is pretty unique, also I liked the hardcore part of the game, then you need to think what you should "switch" and turn on to complete levels. Nice game btw

Loved it ! I want more !

Submitted(+2)

Amazing game, would love to play more.

Submitted(+2)

Really cool concept, I like the visual and it's a very interesting mechanics.

Submitted(+2)

Fun! Controls felt a bit weird, and i got stuck at second level. Cool game though!

Submitted(+2)

The concept of the game is really interesting and has a lot of potential! The only complaint I have is that the movement feels a bit clunky. Besides that, great game!

Submitted(+2)

I liked the concept a lot, the player controls and camera movements were a little jerky, which made it more difficulty than necessary.

Submitted(+2)

I really like the idea, but I think the "Change Polarity" feature is what makes this from a puzzle platformer to just platformer, because now you can just at any moment recover from any magnet related situation. Otherwise the idea of the first level is very good.

Couldnt load the game

I does not work on incognito for me so maybe en some explorers it wont work as well

Developer

Sorry to hear that. We got some more comments about that a few minutes after submissions were closed. We think this was just due to the overloading itch-servers because at the moment, loading seems to work quite well
