I like physics-based games (I also planned that for the jam but oh well..) and your game is really enjoyable and well optimized too even when playing on browser. Well done!

I managed to get 6th place and I hope you can continue working on this game into its final form. ^^

The game is solid overall. The theme is well incorporated into the magnetism thing. The aesthetic is really nice and follows the office job kind of feel. The music is also very comforting and nice. The gameplay is too simple and dull though. The scoreboard also doesn't work. Some things to change and work out, but overall a great game!

Thanks for the feedback! What platform did you play it on? The scoreboard works in WebGL for me.

Submitted

I don't mean that the scoreboard isn't appearing, I mean that I can't match my ID with any scores shown. It would be really nice if there were names.

Developer

Gotcha, I have noticed that sometimes they don't match up as well. I will add names for sure! Thanks!

Hi! Just tested your game. Here are some of my thoughts:

  • Gameplay concept is nice and the game is mostly easy to play but it was not immediately clear to me how I could proceed trough a green wall. Even after seeing the instructions it took long to realize that I can throw stuff my changing the magnet type. 
  • It was not clear why the red magnet attracts and blue repels. It was difficult to remember which way they were. 
  • The game looks nice visually. I especially like how the computer screen is used as the menu and related camera movement. Also, the room and furniture look great. Did you use Sloyd for making those or are they your own? Although the red/blue walls and the ball(=magnet) did not really fit with the other assets.
  • I liked that the game was playable with only keyboard and I did not need mouse to use the UI. Controls were simple and understandable also in the game itself. In the menu on the other hand I would also liked to be able to select buttons with Space because I also used that key in the gameplay (instead of Enter which is used only in menu). 
  • Highscore list does not have names only some unrecognizable ID numbers so it's difficult to say who is leading. I would like the score board to have names. If that is not possible, at leas you might consider removing the ID numbers and only show the top scores because the IDs don't really offer a player any useful info.
  • The play again button after losing the game leads to the main menu instead of actually starting the game again. This is not how it usually work and as a player I would expect to be able to start the next round as easily as possible. Even something simple as clicking trough the menu to play a second round can be off-putting and might lead the players to stop playing quicker than if restarting the game would be made super easy.

Hopefully this is helpful.

Awesome, feedback! Thank you so much for playing and giving great feedback! I will check out your game when I get home, my work blocks the HTML versions.

Fun game, keep it up!

Really nice, chill game. Love the style of the menus being on a computer screen, and the destruction in your wake was really cool. Great job! :)

Submitted(+1)

The music is chiil, hard to understand the purpose of the green wall. Got first place 😎


Developer

Nice! Can anyone beat that score!?! The green wall is neutral, you can be north or south, but you must hit it with an object to break it. I did notice there is a bug, where I forgot to re-enable the gameobject when the room loads.

I got baited by your banner, I thought it was the game at first lol.

Great job!

Developer

I was thinking that could be misleading lol. Thank you!

Great graphics, really smooth and kinda fun to play. The only thing i didn't really like is the camera, i think it should show the ball in the bottom of the screen instead of the center.

Also, holy moly great music choice, a really relaxing sound, and I like that you didn't add any obnoxious sound effects for items hitting the ball or the floor. Good job! :)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and great recommendation! I think that will give the player more time to react when the speed increases.

Very nice game for a 2 day submission! I loved the main menu - the desktop on the desktop is meta hahaha. Although the lack of mouse controls made it a bit confusing at times, especially on the death screen. Accidentally exited the game a few times because of that. 

Overall, a great object hurling game! Hope you can expand on the concept in the future.

Developer(+1)

I had mouse controls in, but then thinking about the main screen. It only has a keyboard on the desk and you don't necessarily need the mouse to play, so I took it out to make it kind of consistent lol, if that makes sense. Thanks for the feedback, I definitely will be expanding and releasing this on multiple platforms!

I, member 1978632 enjoyed the feel of destructing a whole office by just floating around.

Fun game, no lags or bugs... so good for solo developer and 2 days. Good job!!

Developer(+1)

Thank you, I am glad you like it! I used object pooling to make it more performant. Instead of destroying and re-instantiating each room to avoid garbage collection.

Thanks for caring about not burning my PC <3

Was fun to play, took me a minute to figure out how to get past the green walls. But I got there eventually. Good job!

Enjoyable destruction game <3

Love your Menu. Also fun idea. Some more visual effects and more random generation would make it even more fun.

Developer(+1)

Thank you, I thought it was different. Right, more visuals and sound effects would make it awesome! Love the feedback!

This is my first ever game jam and I am a solo developer using the Unity Engine. I hope you all like my creation, Magnet Destroyer! I love feedback, please, comment your thoughts below!

Game On,
