It isn't clear to me how to activate the magnet to move around. Every time I restarted the battery floated away, I guess you have to collect the batteries in the level.

Mika, thank you so much for sharing your observations. The magnet is actually a poorly drawn claw, and you have to click on asteroids to connect the claw to them. Once you have done this, you can move your mouse to fling your ship around and collide with batteries to collect energy.
The grapple/claw mechanics are a little awkward in the game jam submission, but I'll be releasing an updated version when it is over that should be easier to work with :)
Oh I see, thank you. The grapple mechanic indeed needs some work, so good that you're going to work on that. Maybe the pick up batteries can also give you more energy. When I first played the game, I thought the magnet would use the energy and you needed to balance the usage of the magnet to move with how much energy you had left and where the next battery was.
