Hey Swoopie,
I see you're quite active on the game, it's great! In this stage of development, your inputs are super important to us!
We have indeed notice an issue with the magnet and the dash.
For the magnet, I think it is due to the initial range being too small as it seems to work as intented once you get any AOE range upgrade.
For the dash, wewere able to single out the issue and will fix it soon. Basically, you can't dash while you are within invulnerability frames and you gain invulnerability frames whenever you get hit. See the problem in that? :)
Since you like item variety, you'll be happy to know we are adding new items every so often! :)
Anyway, I see you're invested in the game's development so I thought you might wanna join our discord server. That way, you can follow our advancements and give us feedback easier! Here is the link to the server : https://discord.gg/6Duaj2mQ
Have a good one!
