I really like this concept! Great job on making the movement feel solid, rage enducing, but also feel fair: that's pretty hard but you pulled it off. And THANK GOD for checkpoints, because this game gets HARD after the first level, I was kind of startled by it, to be honest :P  I also really liked the box mechanics, they make it just that much more interesting. Although the whole experience was hard, I still made it and was satisfied (not enraged) afterwards ;) Good job on making this!


Some feedback: the gravity starts to act weird in level 3, after the first turret, and you have to click furiously to get your egg through sometimes, then all of a sudden at some point it starts working again.

I watched the stream of this being made and I think what you could be experiencing is that the magnet actually has power and it used to show the power as a number but then near the end it was removed so unfortunately the player has no way of knowing how much magnet power they have. essentially the power meter fills up while you aren't using it. It went up to 100 and would go down as you're clicking.

Ah, that could explain it :)

I played through the game then read this. On my second playthrough it felt very different. Because I could predict what the magnet was going to do it seemed like the controls were much tighter. This playthrough was much easier, though I also had practice from before. It seems telegraphing state to the player is important.

yeah I don't remember the exact reason why it was taken out. I wanna say I vaguely remember some kind of meter was going to be done but time ran out so I guess maybe the thought was just a number doesn't match the rest of the polish and aesthetic of the game so it was removed. I think you definitely showcased the importance for having that visual feedback in the game after second playthrough

I had a similar issue to a game I"m working on. I have a jetpack and I had this meter but I didn't like how it worked. So I made the particles effect get lesser and lesser as an alternative means to a meter to show when your fuel/power was running out
