  • The game is pretty confusing at first. I had no idea that I had to use A and D to repel and attract the pinball. But after that, I got that hang of it! Maybe make your instructions more clear?
  • This is a really cute game with a really cute mechanic. It reminds me of a lot of those old physics puzzle flash games and mobile games (like the classic bloons or angry birds), except here there's actually a very clever mechanic that could be used for a wide, wide variety of puzzles. The physics aren't perfect, but they're good enough to play and I was only frustrated by the balls behavior in level 3. (when travelling through the portal, it would sink into the lose hole so fast I couldn't tell what happened the first 3 times) I will say, it was a little confusing that the repel polarity wouldn't push the ball through a wall, but the attract mechanic could. You might want to communicate this to the player. Overall, the graphics are cute (and the title screen is especially adorable), the music slaps surprisingly hard, the gameplay is fun, and I only wish there were more levels. 8/10
  • I really enjoyed the puzzle aspect of the game. The puzzles were fun, and the graphics were smooth. However the instructions were a little hard to read+understand in-game. Otherwise, the magnet tricks and obstacles in the puzzles were very enjoyable and more levels in the future would be very fun to play! (P.S. the level editor is awesome!)
  • I LOVE this game. The design is just perfect. I would love this game even more if there are more levels. 4 Levels are not enough for me, I like the cat and the creativity you have with this game. I also recommend you show this game in the gandi ide server even if it's not finished yet, you could get a lot of feedback and build a strong relationship with the community. Overall this game is very underrated, it's a real boomer that I don't see anyone talking about this, so please, just share a couple of pictures of your game in the server next time alright😊? maybe you have a greater chance of winning👍 fath11: 5/5 This is a masterpiece 🐢: I love the cat

Love the mechanic. Cat is cute!

Maybe you can try to build a collection of users' levels with Data Utils extension in Gandi IDE.
