This game looks great!

Fun game, very interesting to navigate based on the magnet mechanic. Graphics were fun and the music was good.

Interesting aproach on the theme. The game is much more difficult that one would expect. Yet it's fun. I like that you added two different settings as well. Heck, even a tutorial and achievements. Well done!

Love the concept, very nice game

adamswaggoner 2014-04-28 19:14

Cool game, I was sorta lost with the magnet, but I enjoyed it nonetheless!

zedutchgandalf 2014-04-28 19:17

Original, pretty nice game! :)
The sound is really quiet, though...

crocantidepollo 2014-04-28 19:22

Amazing game! That ball is a little heavy though :P

gwa 2014-04-28 19:22

Hey nice game but pretty hard :)

tuxxilla 2014-04-28 19:22

Found this to be quite difficult. A glass table would be good for training :)

Great graphics!

romankornev 2014-04-28 19:37

Really like the concept of this :) The idea of not directly controlling a ball is very fun.
3D objects look great and feel very realistic but I think 'pixel' art style feels out of place.
Music gives it a nice mood. Great game!

fullmontis 2014-04-28 20:02

This is a very cool idea, but very hard. The ball seems to fly away quite easily, hm. Stil, I love the originality!

kragnir 2014-04-28 20:24

I like the idea. Could have used at least one level where the magnet was visible the invisible magnet was a bit overused.

van-merwan 2014-04-29 10:04

Nice. Maybe the magnet should attract the ball from a more far distance.

abuzreq 2014-04-29 10:09

Liked it , yet it was a bit hard though to keep predicting the location of the magnet.

Great game!
But its always Game Over for me. But fun to play around with.
Great work on the achievements.

Windows zip is corrupt?

robopossum 2014-04-29 11:41

@Kwrky I've just checked the windows download and it's working fine, perhaps try downloading again. For the game to run you'll need microsoft XNA installed, the link to download it is in the download links of the entry.

Graphics look good. I like the achievements!

redlightcollective 2014-04-29 14:55

Good idea, it's just need practice.
Original :)

I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE THE MAGNET

archaeometrician 2014-04-29 15:04

Nice concept ! Interesting mechanics, really not as easy as I first thought ;) Great work and nice interpretation of the theme ;) The achienvments are funny, good idea ;)

comicsans 2014-04-29 15:07

Ok, I admit I spent all my time trying to knock stuff all the desk. Fun!

mrhill 2014-04-29 15:16

Nice idea and good graphics, couldn't get the hang of the magnet controls though but that's just me being bad.

stepperz 2014-04-29 15:47

I like your take on the theme :) And the graphics coupled with a good gameplay idea make for a very interesting game!

siewart 2014-04-29 15:48

Pfff, very hard. Nice idea! :D

nonentheless 2014-04-30 08:51

Pretty nice idea

ccglp 2014-04-30 11:37

Magnets are always a cool thing!

gamertaters 2014-04-30 11:40

I really enjoyed this game. Great interpretation of the theme.

teamflare 2014-04-30 21:38

Super original!

newt_ 2014-04-30 21:45

Ever since I was young, I've said that I wanted to be a magnet when I grew up. They mocked me. All of them. Teachers, friends, my grandma. They said it was impossible. They said I could never be a magnet. Well look at me now, grandma. Look at me now.
(Great game btw)

soupwithbits 2014-05-02 06:31

Really awesome take on the theme!

dector 2014-05-03 06:47

Quite fun but time pressure killing me :(

jacob-peltola 2014-05-05 20:32

Awesome concept and game, I used to do this with paperclips in class at high school to scare people haha

delca 2014-05-09 21:53

A great entry, and a surprisingly hard game! Still got a couple of (easy) achivements.
However, even when I knew where my magnet was, it was still hard to control the ball, especially to make it stop.

clinthoney 2014-05-19 04:20

Absolutely loved the game. The uniqueness of it is great. But I wish there was a way to see were the magnet is while its under the table because personally I get confused.
