MAGNET OPUS

Played your game! Here: https://youtu.be/cAVxhg_5a1w

The production value is amazing! I don't think the levels actually get interesting before it's over, but I still really liked the game mechanic.

Very nice game! I wish the mechanic was used in more ways but for a jam game that's really enough.

I'll add to the fact that sound effects were a little annoying, but for me that's mainly a volume issue. Here's my setting so that it was bearable: The very soft music was barely audible while the very sharp sfx kept playing :( But since there's a menu for that that's not a big deal. The only sound that was bothering me is the one that plays on a loop when you're stuck on an opposite side magnet.

The other thing I want to mention is the end: it's way too confusing! First I saw the big emerald so I thought it was the end, but then I saw the two inactives magnet things and I though there was something to do. So I tried to explore and got sent back to the very start! Which was also confusing because there's the part on the left which seems like there's a path if you somehow are able to make a big jump.

Since the game sent me back to the start I stopped playing, but if not for that I would have explored more for nothing, which really isn't something you want people to do I guess. Even if it's just a simple text saying thanks for playing, knowing that you've got to the end is really important!

Ran into a weird bug while pushing that warped my player all the way across the room :P Fun stuff, could become a full game like Sprout :)

This one ended too soon!

This really feels like a cohesive package. You even had fleshed out option menus!

Having reached the end, the emeralds seemed to be lacking a purpose that I assume you just didn't have the time to implement; except that collecting shiny things is fun, of course :)

There's one part where you have two pink North magnets at the top and bottom. They worked fine, but for some reason, I found it weird. I think it's because, up to that point, you only have magnetic lines going out of a magnet, and not into one. But that's a nitpick.

Another time I had tiny bit of trouble was when the player has to jump and switch magnets to stick to the South ceiling. It felt like I had the timing fine, but still wouldn't work. It could've just been me though.

Would've liked more levels!

Overall, solid entry!

PS. I uploaded a video of my playthrough

Cool game! Nice interpretation of the theme. I liked the player character's expressions. Would have been much better if the ending was clearly telegraphed, though.

I liked the graphics, they felt cute and I thought there were more puzzle potential. I loved the idea and wanted to more from this game ^^ I think you were going to make boss battle at big emerald if there was more time? Atleast it felt like boss is now coming :)

Here is recording me playing it, I think I commented more there :) https://youtu.be/P-r0wmUQe1g?t=10260

This was fantastic. Absolutely the best idea I've seen so far. So gooood.

Big kudos to the magnet concept I think this is one of the coolest ideas I've seen so far. The end could have been stronger but that's a minor complaint. Awesome game!

Good game. The magent mechanic works well with the theme of both the game and the jam.

I used the big emerald to farm up 1000 emeralds before I quit playing, lol.

This was so much fun, but I had one problem. I couldn't figure out where I was supposed to go after the big emerald. There has to be more. Where do I go?!

Seriously though, this was such a fun and engaging experience. I would absolutely love to see more of it. The only criticism I have is that the character feels like a brick, but it doesn't really detract from the gameplay.

The magnet mechanic was very well executed. At one point in the game the character teleported across the screen and I had to walk through the level again but besides that it was stable.

Pretty good. Please note that sfxr sound effects can sometimes be worse than no sound effects at all (I'm talking about the jumping effect. It gets annoying very quickly) Also I have no idea why you made the door system, you could've just closed them behind the player (considering the fact that some doors work incorrectly and I managed to get pushed back to the very beginning)

I really liked this game. Great art, music, gameplay and magnetic idea. Well done.

Bug: I was able to grab that big green diamond twice (when I went to room twice)
