Sorry if the instructions weren't clear. The idea of the game is to use the mouse to rotate the pointer around the player. Then if it is pointing at a platform, you can press the key with the same colour (magnetic pole) to push off the platform, or press the key with a different colour to pull towards it. 

Thanks for your Feedback! Using a path arrow does seem like a better idea. I intend to create a more polished version and will try to include this.

Thanks You for your Feedback! The mechanic I used wasn't the most optimal due to time restrictions, but I aim to build up from this idea and make a more polished version.
