Great job :). The aesthetic is perfect and clean. The characters and cutscenes had personality to them. The concept of the movement was interesting but maybe a bit tricky for beginners. This was fun and I would love to see more of it!

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed my game :D

Lovely graphics and music. Perfect presentation overall! Gameplay is a little tricky to pick up, but still a really great game overall!

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked it :)

Despite the simple art style, it is nicely polished and very smooth, pleasant sounds and music tho. The controls are a little heavy, but can be learned quickly. Great job!

Thank you for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Slick graphics and sound design, and a cool core mechanic. It definitely felt a bit frustrating, but with a little more polish on the controls and some more levels this could easily be a full game release.

Developer

Thank you for playing! Having now seen a few people play, I can see how the controls in combination with the magnet forces can be quite frustrating. I appreciate your feedback!

This feels like a textbook game jam game - a simple but really fun mechanic in a cute, clean style. However, it stands out with its attention to detail - the cute characters and their story, well-implemented sound and visual effects, the smooth UI. Thank you for going the extra mile and adding these details, they really made the experience feel super high quality. Really well done!

Developer

Thank you for your kind words, I'm so glad you enjoyed playing it!

The art style and audio were incredibly well done, and this certainly feels like the most polished entry I've tried so far.

My only comment is that the controls felt a little clunky - I eventually got used to them but I found myself having to spent a lot of time "lining up" my next leap, rather than it flowing naturally (it could just be that I'm bad at the game though!)

EDIT: The little magnet guy was incredibly cute btw!

Thank you for playing! I'm pleased you enjoyed it!
I have now realised that some of the magnetic force do make it frustrating and tricky to control. I'd tested it so much I'd forgotten to try not lining up my leaps, which is definitely the way to control your direction more easily!
I really appreciate your feedback :)

Beautiful minimalist art and a solid concept. It was a little frustrating at times.

Thank you for playing, and for streaming it! 
In hindsight, I'm now realising some of the magnet forces do make it frustrating to control at times and seeing you play was really insightful!
I really appreciate your in-depth review and feedback :D

Adorably infuriating! Has great replayability. Love the concept and simplicity of this game, but it's not to be underestimated!

Was a pleasure to watch this be made! Thanks, James!

Bold choice in colors, but I really liked seeing this game develop and getting to play it after.

Simple but effectively challenging.

Love the quickiness and title. Fun, easy interactions and I want to play more!

Pretty solid game, nice job! I love the art, visuals and sound effects. (Edit: The itch site was mega bugged and submitted my comment three times, sorry about that)

Developer

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
(and no worries about the comment bug!)

Great game!

The visuals are stunning and adorable.
Gameplay is really simple and intuitive yet highly addictive.
Short and sweet but the replayability is fantastic, trying to beat your times, trying out better and better speed strats!

I've had so much fun first playthrough, now to shave off seconds of my time! Simple, cute and charming with intuitive controls, can be mildly infuriating, but never unfair!

Adore this game! Controls fuddled my mind a little (left and right), but is understandable because game jam. Great work!
