You can get your ball back by pointing the attracting side downwards, brilliant!

What a fantastic idea! I really enjoyed playing this and thought the core concept was brilliant. Would love to see a bit more polish (sound effects on smashing bricks, for example) and this would become so addictive I'd never be able to stop. Great job!

Really simple, but well executed idea. It makes me wanna play even more... this idea gets rid of the most annoying thing that happens all the time in breakout(Idk if that's what it is called) and that is when you have that one brick floating in mid air and the ball just takes ages to hit it... But here you just turn polarity of your paddle :D. Anyway, this is such an awesome game.

A nice twist on breakout! The magnet mechanics, extra balls and powerups makes for some hectic gameplay! Some levels are quite hard but fun, and having a timer is a nice touch which adds a little replayability (trying to beat your time).

I can imagine something like this being a good arcade game on pc or tablets. Good job! :)

Really clever way of following the theme!
An original idea and a surprisingly fun game too, I think there's a lot of potential to make this game even bigger!

Interesting approach to the theme. Finding ways to improve upon a well explored genre is a talent!
