nice game. I just wish there were more levels, and the UI could have been more friendly. I love the concept.

Developer

More levels are already under works and the UI has gone a revamp also loads of bugs have been fixed and features added.
We're just waiting for the jam embargo to lift so we can update the game <3

Glad that you liked our game <3

Very nice

Really cool game! I really like the combination of magnet and pinball mechanics.

Developer

Thanks, it's just as it was thought to be.
Glad you liked our game <3

Interesting. Would've liked to have a quick reset buttton, but I really like the mechanics.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

The quick reset button is already implemented in the production version and waiting for the embargo to lift so we can update to the improved version.
Glad you liked the game <3

ALSO Congrats for the FIRST sub 5sec record other than me ;)
I got 4.666 but It isn't in the lists since we reset the list before the launch.

Submitted

Isn't that Keryan?

Developer(+1)

Nope, it's you, there is a bug in the display of the high score system that ditches the 1st score.
Fixed in the next version already.

Awesome game! Simple, but executed well. Love the addition of country to the leaderboard as well!

Developer(+2)

Thanks, glad you liked our game <3
Simple is good on the game I planned, more is under works like more levels, more magnetic elements and types, obstacle movements, track runs etc.

But the addons have to wait until the jam is over so if you like our game, please do follow us and get notifications on when the new updates are coming.

The movement is even more slippery than my game! Even though it's penalised I thought bouncing off the magnets was very satisfying. This is a really cool concept with a nice speedrunny feel and I would have loved to play more levels. If you do any more work on this game can I suggest you add a restart button please, when I know I've messed up I just want to quickly try again rather than have to go through 2 menus to get back into it

Developer

Glad you like our game <3

There are more levels and more coming up after the game jam as well as the highly sought after restart button.

Submitted(+1)

Very original idea, i would have played more level

Developer

More levels are underway!

Submitted(+1)

Very short game, but a nice concept. I guess you were going for mobile aesthetics, but still, the buttons are a bit confusing. But the mechanics are nice and intuitive and it could be a ground for a lot of speedruns 😁

Developer

Yup it is a short one but with a lot of replayability.

The mobile aesthetics are intentional since it is supposed to be as mobile friendly as possible, as well as simple mouse use mechanic on computers.

More levels and stuff are upcoming after the jam to quench the thirst of speedrunner enthusiasts.

Fun game and good concept. Was fun to try and beat my time. Was kind of confused on what to do at first, but got the hang of it!

Developer

Glad that you liked our game, I'll be sure to test out yours soonish.

Simple but really nice! right difficulty level 

Developer

Glad you liked our game <3

The difficulty was a challenging one to tweak but I'm really happy that people do find it to be just right.

Really nice game, even for such a short one. It was enjoyable to play and different than the other games in the jam that I have tried.

  • The game concept was fun. It was surprisingly difficult but did not feel impossible or too much out of my control. 
  • Good scoping! Just one level can be enough if it's well designed and the gameplay works. Building new levels later is now probably really easy when you have programmed all the interactions already.
  • Writing my name to the leaderboard was awkward. Even though the screen looked visually nice I would have preferred to write my name with keyboard for better usability. Although, if this game is intended for mobile, I can understand why it is implemented like that.
  • I would really like the game to have reset button. It's really annoying that I have to play the whole level or use all the power if I want to restart. Especially in a speedrunning game players will want to restart when an attempt is clearly not going well.
  • The icon for Start the game was confusing. I think that icon is usually used for something like "Share in social media". I tried all of the other buttons before I managed to find how to start the game.

Good job! Very nice game.


I already got feedback for my game from one you but if anyone else in the team have time to test my game, I appreciate any comments (positive or constructive) from you too!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your thorough feedback, we REALLY appreciate it <3

  • The difficulty was a challenging one especially at start of development to hone, I didn't want it to be too easy, but definitely didn't want it too hard. I'm quite happy my self for the difficulty level as well and sometimes it's really fun to have a little mistake cascade to a total pinball chaos resulting you being at the start .
  • New levels and longer levels are in the works already, this one level was enough I think for the Game Jam as I couldn't focus on it full time due to IRL oblications.
  • The name writing was done in that manner for 2 reasons. First of it being mobile friendly the second is for it to be simple mouse only interface.
  • The reset button is an EXCELLENT idea, haven't thought about it and your idea is true, it will be added asap after the jam.

We're really happy you liked our game <3
Yours was also one of my favourites thus far that I've tried, simple yet addictive and very well executed.

Simple yet effective idea, missing some levels but you can see the potential of the game for this jam with just one level designed. I enjoyed compiting on this, good job!!

Achieved a 5.37 and my score renamed to WOOT :c

Developer

There will be more levels quite soon after the Jam has ended ;)
Hum? you managed to get a score of 5.37 and put your name on it but it was renamed to be WOOTs name?
I'll pass that to my friend who did the
firebase coding to sort it out.

Submitted(+1)

Simply addictive. I hope you can turn this into a complete game. ^^

Developer(+1)

It will be.I've got loads of plans to extend from this <3

Submitted(+1)

Really fun for such a simple idea, I like the retro feel it has. I wasn't quite able to get the top spot but not for lack of trying. Very good game!

Developer

Thanks, that look was just what I was trying to envision.

Glad that you liked it <3

Submitted(+1)

Great game but I wish there was more! There was only one level which was a bummer, but the theme was executed perfectly and the one level was fun today! Overall, nice job!

Developer

I'm glad you liked our game <3
There WILL be more, I have steady plans and devious schemes to add more and even longer levels.

Submitted(+1)

The use of "devious schemes" in that sentence is amazing lmfao, love it

Submitted(+1)

Just tried it out, pretty fun! I was surprised by how competitive it felt given the smaller scope. I REALLY wanted that top spot, and I can't wait to see how many people get faster than my time as the jam goes on! My one suggestion would be to let players replay without going back through the main menu.

Developer

I'm glad you liked our game <3

It does have the spark of competitiveness in it I can assure you, I've played several hundred times myself this past 72h and will be doing more after the jam rating time is over and I get to continue the project to add more and longer levels.

Submitted

Wow! Just out of curiosity (and not my competitive nature, I assure you), what was your record?

Developer

My personal record was 4.666 seconds :D

Submitted

... that's a pretty low number.
