Very fun. Lots of strategy. It took me a few seconds to figure out what to do. That being said, some sort of in-game tutorial to teach the player would be good. Nothing too specific. Maybe on the first level "Hold the magnet to attract the ball" "Let go to release" that sort of thing. There was a good variety of enemies. The font on the "Wave 1" countdown is a bit extra large. Maybe not so big?

Think this is one of my top favorite games of this game jam. Using the magnet to attract and shot the puck just feels so fun and satisfying. Having multiple magnets, where you can bounce between also really adds to the game. The only thing I would improve on, is how enemies can damage you. Sometimes it just wasn't clear for me when I was about to get hit or not (mainly the small ones). But other than excellent game!

GangsterBoysGreat job with this, I really enjoyed it! It felt super snappy and responsive which was great when youre zipping around and crashing through enemies! Sometimes it was a bit finicky trying to actually kill a lone enemy because of the speed that you rotated around on the magnet and how fast they were in chasing you, but not a big deal. Overall really great job!

Wi2ardCool game! Hit boxes felt a bit too precise on the enemies, but I had fun overall!

Junction BoxAwesome presentation, it shows that the game has been juiced :) I'd wish to have more control of the situation, it's a bit annoying to wait for magnet to rotate in correct direction. :) But anyway I like the style and game overall. Congratulations on it!

Carry me, please!Nice way to use the magnet crusher as a weapon! Feels great to get rid of the enemies this way, good job!

Defying InstinctsReally satisfying based concept here! Shooting the ball around to have what you want happen can be really gratifying. I do think it could be tidied up somewhat however. It can feel tedious waiting to line up an intended shot especially since the magnets only turn in a single direction and doubly so when you narrowly miss because you're only able to rely on eye-balling to figure out where the player ball will fly towards.

Psycho Sync RailsReally fun gameplay, and a really unique idea! It's so satisfying when you really nail that trick shot bounce and take out a whole cluster of enemies in a line!
Awesome work, I enjoyed it! :)

Out in the ColdSatisfying movement and destruction. I would say making the attacking hitbox for the player more generous would help a lot with those very close shots that seem to just whiff. I would also like to see some of the magnets to rotate the opposite direction. Well, maybe the later ones do but I'm just too bad to get far enough.

BLIT2/B1OCKAwesome game! I like the magnet idea and all the different enemy designs. The star-shaped enemy took a bit to figure out but the visual communication was pretty clear. Nice job!
