I sort of, kind of, understood the objective but there's something missing to help me really understand what is happening. lol The first 3 levels I just click click randomly not knowing the game had started thinking I was in some sort of transition state (:P) and won. I realize then I was playing the game and saw the "2 out 3" numbers on the top right and things started to click for me.

I guess what I was missing is what the numbers meant so that I could plan ahead better. I think I eventually got it, which if I'm not mistaken, the numbers on the top-right represent the total connections made/required and to trigger the ending sequence I'm required to use all the magnets listed on the top-left corner.  That makes for great puzzle game that is up to me the player to solve rather than having only way to beat it.

What wasn't too clear is what made a connection because two positives where connecting for me so I just learned to drop them off some where far beyond each other to avoid touching. Hope all of this make sense. I think it is a nice puzzler that with some music, sound effects, and visual effect would create an even better experience (this me saying please keep working on it to polish it and bring outs it full potential) and maybe add something that helps explain how those numbers on the top-right increase. :D 

Good Job!

Sorry I took so long to check this page! Yeah, my family also had the same problems with understanding the game, and in hindsight I should have taken a few hours to make a proper tutorial. Thank you for playing! This is some of the best thought out feedback I've ever had.

Creative puzzle! Took a while but we finished it :)

This is great idea for game. But level with 3 positive connections will never finish since the middle one will still move back and forward.

Please fix it so I can play more :-)

That level, like most of the others, is very gimmicky. The idea is to place three directly on top of one another, which is very easy to do if you simply do not move your cursor. It should have been one of the last puzzles and had a hint or two, I'm sorry :)

there still should be some kind of lock. For example if you have nothing to place wait 5 sec freeze the game and give the result.
