Oh yeah, I mean I guess you can just hold the attract button, since repelling overwrites it. I thought you meant ONLY attracting. Also I didn't really think about dodging in that particular way. Pretty good strategy! However, all of that really only applies when there is only like 1-2 guys on screen at once. Once you get more than that, you can't just always move in the same way, and it becomes necessary to be more strategic.

Would you suggest I make any changes such that attracting isn't as powerful? I'm open to any suggestions.

Lol second place on leaderboard by 100 points Edit: 1° PLACE, I guess that means you have to take my 1°  from my game lol(and thanks for the review.) Also another bug is that there's a restriction on you holding 1 gun or knife but if you don't have one you attract all of them, and then the knifes can kill you even if they hit the magnet that's the only reason I'm not 1° lol

That's not a bug, that's completely intentional. Your magnet has a weight limit of 3. Bullets have a weight of 1, knifes have 2, and guns have 3. If your magnet has reached its maximum weight, it no longer can attract any more objects. Also, the magnet itself doesn't have a hit box, nor should it.

Really, there is no reason to get so upset. I see that you're good at the game, you've now taken my #1 spot (good job!). If you think that something should be changed, I'm open to any suggestions.

Oh, don't worry I'm not upset . The only things I would change is that knifes can't kill you by being attracted from the ground( my strategy to get first place was to throw all knives away so that wouldn't happen) and add something like a bomb that explodes if you attract it, that way you can't attract foverer otherwise you just explode. Also that 1° place comment was just me being competitive no need to worry about it :).

Ok cool, just wanted to make sure. The knifes not doing damage from the ground thing is interesting, but isn't that very similar to your bomb idea? In both cases you're running a risk by attracting, although I guess the bomb is a more consistent and direct way of preventing just holding the attract button.

Personally, my own strategy is I take a knife, and then constantly reuse that knife to kill everyone else. I only repel and attract when absolutely necessary.

I'm actually trying to play while holding attract constantly, and I'm finding it very difficult. I'm not sure what your secret is, but clearly you mastered my game! Time for me to master yours :)

Well the bombs are predictable and the counter to them is  not holding the button all the time, the knives you kind of get instakilled depending on the situation, because if you have a knife and gun close to you and then you attract the gun you get instakilled by the knife close to it which just seems unfair since you don't even realize why you died, also my strategy is to just stack guns on the ground and throw away knives that way I can always have a weapon and not get randomly instakilled

Nice! Yeah I will consider adding bombs in a post-jam update. Now I gotta come up with a strategy to beat your game... EDIT: Just got #1 on your game. AND reclaimed my highscore on my game :)
