The idea is very nice and I love the look of the game, but it is too easy to play. Each level is beaten by simply dropping rocks away from the screen and dragging a box to move one of the magnets to the other one. I feel like the main mechanics have potential and could be expanded. For example, by not allowing the rocks to go away so easily (idk, maybe adding some walls or making the game a top-down one) and by adding some different objects. 

Developer

It can be a lot harder, but my main goal is to make something fair and easy to play. Also, because I had a lot of exams last week, I had little time to work on the game, so drag and drop physics are pretty bad. Thanks for the feedback and sorry for being late!

Super fun concept. Loved having to figure out how to keep the magnets from hitting each other. Sadly there was an issue with a large grey box on the bottom of the screen which made it hard to play since I couldn't see some shelves. Otherwise a phenomenal game

Developer

Yeah, some people had problems with large gray box. I don't know what is the problem (never happened to me), still gonna fix it after the jam is over. Thanks for the comment and sorry for being late!

Very fun, I liked the parts where you had to catch the magnet with the boxes. It took me like a minute to realise that lmb meant left mouse button, but other than that I thought it was pretty good. 

Developer

Thanks! LMB confused my friends too. Also sorry for being late!

It was fun, but a bit harsh with some of the levels where you had to be fast. Other than that it was good ^^;
I don't know if it was my resolution but I had a big grey bar after each transition ↓

I'm sorry for sending multiple replies

Developer

I don't know about the transition bug, worked fine for me (tho I only tested on FullHD resolution). Thanks for the comment (also sorry for being late)!
