I liked the ability to pick up more circles and having the camera scroll out as my mob got bigger and bigger. Despite reading the directions, I still didnt realize I needed to press Start to have the enemies start coming until I was up to like... difficulty 17. Guess I was too focused on collecting guys. The music is a little repetitive but entertaining. It would be fun to see a version of this where you need to defend from enemies coming in while you pick up more guys, that would keep the suspense going as you have to try to prioritize getting stronger vs taking out enemies. Overall, this was a great use of theme!
I just checked out your game and rated! If you could rate mine, I'd appreciate it! https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/928826
Very interesting concept to need to hold a specific amount of things to unlock the door. I was finding myself getting stuck trying to move multiple objects through a doorway, and then getting stuck after I moved through it and having to restart. The audio and graphics were nice. I was a little confused about what some of the objects were that I was picking up (the one that looked like a box). Overall, it was a fun puzzler. Nice job!
We'd definitely work on controls a bit (I found clicking was more usable than right shift to attack, which we forgot to mention). Oddly enough, I agree about the dwarves, but after a while, I kind of liked the contrast, so I ended up never coming back to it. Thank you for the suggestions and checking out our game!
The throwing ants was hilarious. Very interesting mechanic, especially with the double jump. This game would be great with a 'bullet mode' type slowdown so you can aim a little easier. Some indication where you should be jumping to in a mini map or something would be helpful too! Overall, the game was a lot of fun.
Also tried to play it alone.. so Im not sure how far I got in several tries, but I hope I was close to the ending. I wish there was a single player mode where maybe one panel is frozen and would randomly swap back and forth at pseudo random intervals to try and make your brain jump back and forth between the different controls. The game plot was funny and unique and I really enjoyed the graphics. Some music would have definitely added to the experience. Overall, I really enjoyed it even though I was struggling to do both parts myself. Nice work!
The overall game was filled with juice! Awesome sounds, and music and very creative game play. I found it pretty tricky to maneuver the magnets and felt like they should have been able to go through each other. It was also a little hard to tell which magnet was selected, even though there was a thicker outline. For the controls, I think I would have preferred keyboard keys vs needing to click on the magnets/magnet strength button. Like Q to switch magnets, and E or F to activate them or something. I saw pause was bound to spacebar, but couldn't tell if there was a different key for the magnet strength. The game was great and well polished for such a short time frame. Great job!

*Slight Spoilers* I would like to hear more about this if you would reply. Did you make it to level 3? The dwarves from level 1 and 2 are only citizen dwarves who you can't switch to. The first dwarf you can switch to is in Level 3. Switching is Spacebar. If this resolves it, awesome! If not, you might have uncovered a bug.
