The zip folder is a bit broken. I initially ran into this error (https://imgur.com/a/T96GyxM) but renaming the “magnets_Data” folder to “MAGNUS THE MAGNET_Data” fixed it
-
My antivirus (Windows defender) threw a bit of a tantrum when running it but I’m assuming that was just a false positive (at least, I hope it was)
-
The opening sequence is really clean but I feel like it dragged on for quite a while. I wish there was an option to skip it. I accidentally pressed escape as well so I had to go through it twice
-
I feel like the mouse sensitivity is a bit too high
-
I really like the terrain and the models. It’s incredibly simple but it works very well when used with the dark background for contrast
-
The magnet’s animations are adorable
-
If you stop walking suddenly the magnet’s animation jolts back to its default position which feels a bit jarring
-
The camera’s position relative to the magnet feels a bit distant and the way it rotates feels unnatural
-
If you jump when you’re up against a wall the magnet sort of gets stuck/bumps its head
-
The gravity is a bit low so it feels like the magnet is floating when they’re falling
-
I was quite confused at times. I think there should be some kind of tutorial or maybe just a path the player has to travel
-
Overall, pretty good entry, especially since it was your first 3D game!

thanks a lot for your feedback I will try and fix every single one of your points in my next project when I have more time to figure out how to do most of this stuff especially the things concerning the character movement and animation and getting stuck I found that so annoying but didn’t find any way to fix it. And yes I had some playtesters but I kind of told them before hand what you would have to do so probably it should have had more of an introduction or tutorial.. but also thanks for liking the animation and music and such 😁
