Really like the idea , cool concept dude :D

The Good:
* Nice concept, and phyisics are fun :D
* I really dig the music
* I somehow like the character, tough it's a pity that you can't see his face while playing

The Neutral:
*Sometimes when you use your hability you break the level (You make it impossible to complete), tough it's also amusing somehow.

The bad:
* I think that the controls could be improved, specially the jump, it feels too artificial


Keep up the good work :D

Music and scope of the game is impressive but it is very easy to break the level with the attraction power. I agree that the jump could use some work. You should look into using AnimationCurves to control how much force you apply to your character over the duration of the jump

I was really impressed by this one. The mechanic didn't make sense to me at first but once I got it, it was pretty cool. The game looks very nice and plays decently well. In particular I liked the one with the thin platforms with the Os on them that you had to keep moving on or you'd fall. Also, do you have category ratings disabled? There were no ratings to give it seems.

The concept is really awesome! Wish you had more time to develop around this.

Nice concept. Couldnt passed the level 2. Tried a several times. By the way if you can get to end after GAME OVER thing you just get to the next level.

rantt 2015-04-20 02:50

Cool concept, I like the story bit in the instructions. Nice graphics and music, the controls controls felt kinda strange, and I kept having to restart when I messed up the level. A puzzle reset option would be nice. I enjoyed it, nicely done :)

Awesome! I loved the lo-fi look to the menus. It felt like a DOS game splash screen. The attraction mechanic was crazy awesome too.

ruka 2015-04-20 06:19

the concept are cool~
but the control and the jump are not too good..

2015-04-20 06:27

Welp, it seems that I discovered a bug. Holding the jump button allows you to do a freakin' moon-jump the instant you land. It's pretty hilarious.
Also, I couldn't seem to pick up anything else after killing the second enemy with a leaf block. Dunno if I just wasn't close enough to blocks I was trying to pick up or something, but thought I'd point that out.
Also didn't like how a lot of the time I would be trying to drop a block, but yet another tree was in the way of doing so. Needs more space between each other, or the ability to drop even when something is in the way, I suppose.

Nice concept and music. Really enjoyed it :D
Keep working on it after the compo,

2015-04-20 06:39

Neat idea! Seems pretty tough to consistently attract things the proper way, however. Nonetheless, it was enjoyable and really reminded me of experimental games from the '90s. Thanks!

cmayhem 2015-04-20 11:12

Really cool concept! Implementation needs a bit more work. For me the mouse was too to properly look around. Also pretty difficult, might be better to just restart the level when dying instead of the whole game.

braindeadgeo 2015-04-20 11:51

Love any game ambitious enough to be 3d! it's a nice concept but it seems easy to break the level!

geckoo1337 2015-04-20 13:27

I like the idea which uses physical, but it's seems to me that it's too poor so as to create a full game. Maybe it can be improved by more features. It's not bad - just an interesting concept. Thank you ++

Great music!!

dkoding 2015-04-20 14:29

Fun mechanics. Love the way that guy turns. :-) Please rate my game at http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-32/?action=preview&uid=16225

ddalacu 2015-04-20 14:35

Weird jump nice effect and music,i passed the level even if i got game over by passing it in the last moment.

twiik 2015-04-20 15:02

Absolutely loved the music. How did you make it if you care to share? :)

Even though physics puzzlers can very often break they are fun to play with. I liked the chaotic nature of this one. In the first level you can easily completely ruin it for yourself or solve it in a fabulous way by riding the cubes to the goal. :p

spotlightor 2015-04-20 15:22

Very innovative idea.

tasteslikefuture 2015-04-20 15:49

Very cool mechanic, definitely fits the theme. Very well polished for a compo entry as well. Awesome work!

frokes 2015-04-20 16:13

Like the idea but it needs some tweaking, like the jump and the way the cubes behave sometimes.

greg-anims 2015-04-20 16:45

Nice style, feels like a shiny entertainment game. Needs level checkpoints

swipefaststudios 2015-04-20 17:13

Interesting mechanic! Blocks act funny sometimes!

cogcomp 2015-04-20 17:51

Added a youtube video to the links in case someone is wondering how the game works: https://youtu.be/ijqZ7_uAiqM

stephan_h 2015-04-20 19:25

Lol, that was pure fun. Time well spent. The mechanics were hilarious.

ssiegel2 2015-04-20 20:43

Controls are a little finicky, the jump is too limiting. The concept is interesting, but the getting the blocks to fall just right is difficult.

supermsp10 2015-04-20 20:57

controls fell too award to play and it also detracts from the gameplay

flygamer101 2015-04-20 22:00

Pretty nice idea, and a great concept. Great music too. 9.5/10

mony 2015-04-20 22:09

interesting game but very buggy

efonsecab 2015-04-20 22:41

I like the game.
I think it would be good to eventually add gamepad support to it, so actions are closer and you can have easier movement and camera rotation.

aaranos 2015-04-20 23:28

Great concept, but the controls are a little weird. I found that the character doesn't face where you point him and since the mouse doesn't get locked in it's very distracting. The magnetic control is pretty random too.

Overall, pretty great concept just missing the fine tuning.

danidk 2015-04-21 05:34

it was really challenging I enjoyed it a lot. The jump feels a bit sudden, but overall awesome job! :)

headmade 2015-04-21 20:47

Downloadable Version would be nice.

evergreen-games-ludum-dare 2015-04-22 19:50

very cool concept! it really needs to restart from the level because its frustrating having to play all the levels you already solved. also the character controller jumping seems strange. its really addicting tho!

designernap 2015-04-22 21:46

A little too tricky in the controls but I thought it was a nice idea. It also crashed when I used the power. Nice entry though so good work!

deadbodyoutline 2015-05-11 01:25

Cool entry. You can improve the jump physics. Also, when you die you need to start on the first level again, maybe adding the concept of lives (for example, 3) to the game could be nice too.

See ya!
