When I tap the arrow keys it only works every once in a while.

Do you mean it moves like this?

If so, then that is the way I designed it :). You are turning on a magnet which pushes a beam across the screen.

If not, you have found a bug :)

I guess it works as expected.

Cool concept, but sloooooooow game. Nice job overall!

Thanks for the feeback, I wanted to keep it slow but ran out of tweaking time.

Nice magnet mechanics. It would be better to increase the responsiveness of the controls and make it more dynamic

Took me a while to figure out the controls (I don't read no stinking tutorials ;) ), but once I got the hang of it it's actually a nice wee game :) Well done!

hathol, Its a payable tutorial so no need to read :)

Bonus points for a fully voiced tutorial :p Nifty little game, once you get the hang of it. Only main thing is I'd've liked the dot to move a bit faster :D

Interesting mechanic, nice job:)

Nice concept ! Easy to learn and hard to master, good job !

Nice idea using magnetics to control movement. It created a fun puzzler. Theme was a little bit of a stretch but fun game :)

Weird controls, but I got used to them after a while. The idea is nice, but it's quite slow and missing some challenge besides the dead pixels, which aren't much of a hindrance.

Thanks for the feedback, yep the game is a bit too slow and there isn't much challenge really. Next time, I'm spending more time on polishing up the core experience.

Nice concept. I would like an ability to turn magnets to attract mode though. And you've mentioned that already and I agree that you need more mechanics or more fast-paced gameplay maybe to make it more fun. Right now it's too simple and slow for me. But I like the idea, it just needs some work and polishing.
