Excellent with the theme, sound fx, fun with how it works being a magnet - Good stuff!!

Clever pun in the title hooked me instantly! You've managed to build an intriguing and interesting little world! Loved the puzzles and the speed in which new mechanics were introduced. The dialogue and the characters were very funny. Awesome entry!

Cool Game and nice mechanic with the two types of magnets!
I'm quite bad at platformers so I got stuck in the last level.

Also nice Level Design, I like the little touches like the small magnets that are stuck to the "Magnet Platforms" :D

"A cinematic and narrative masterpiece" well done! Great variation on the main mechanic. You added new ways to use the magnets right to the end. There were definitely some solid design moments. 

I also really like the little visual and audio touches. You didn't have to add the waving arms and blinking but it added a lot to the characters and the world.

Really glad you enjoyed it and appreciated the fun little details like the blinking. I like doing that stuff. Thank you very much!

I had great times floating around haha

I think I got a bug when I was on the side of a weak red magnet and couldn't jump.Thankfully it didn't stop my progression.

Great job! :)

"I suppose I must reclaim my wife" what a line hahaha

Developer

Thank you! Yes good observation actually. I think it was something I messed up with the player's groundcheck and the tags of the magnets not being recognised as ground. I'm glad you enjoyed it overall!

Amazing game. It fits the theme well and it's extremely fun to play. I couldn't finish the entire game though, I'm not a pro gamer like some of you guys here :( It could need some polishing. It would've been nice to have a checkpoint system as it's kinda irritating restarting the level every time you lose. But again, this is very well made for something you made in 9 days.

Agreed! A checkpoint or a level select system is something I haven't created before but certainly should have implemented. Glad you liked it though!

"I suppose I must reclaim my wife" I legit laughed out loud haha. Your game is quite fun to navigate around. 

Developer

Thank you very much!

Very fun and unique interactions with the world. I enjoyed the art and music didn't make me want to throw my mouse. Good job.

Though the input doesn't always feel sharp enough, this game is unique in how you move around the world.

Thank you for giving it a go! And I have no objection to your criticism at all, you're absolutely right
