Where can we play?

shimmergloom 2015-04-21 20:17

Hey, you're not providing a way for us to play it :(

paulozz 2015-04-21 20:17

Just got it the jar is in source

Nice graphics and sound but it way too slow paced for me.

I got the game to run but got stuck going up the ladder. The gap between the floor doesn't seem big enough for me to go through.

andrewjoy 2015-04-22 02:22

Looks good but I agree that it plays quite slowly.

The game is pretty slow paced. I would also recommend change the link name to make it more obvious that it is actually the game

Couldn't tell how to make the robot hit the switch, robot floated up through the floor and got stuck in another room, got stuck trying to climb a ladder.

Looked like fun but I didn't get very far because I couldn't figure out how to switch magnets. Can you post some controls?

thecolorman 2015-04-22 03:19

I liked the music. The animations and the art were good. Overall very good! My only suggestion would be to make it more obvious what kind of magnet you're using (I didn't see the text on the top left for a while) and a little indicator so we know what robot we're magnetizing.

Much too slow to move and get to the building, in my opinion. I could see that my mousewheel was changing something in the upper left, but unfortunately the top 3/4 of the text was cut off and I couldn't figure out what to do.

The controls are not to ergonomic, and the character movement is slow. The music is realy good, i agree with you, also i like the mechanics. Just change the keyboard layout and the character speed and it will be awesome :)

frostbytedevelopment 2015-04-23 04:35

What key's would you want me to change?! I do not see the character being slow?!

It's a nice little series of mechanics, and I can see them broadening out really well; though I found the tutorials pace a bit slow - would've been nice if we had a more free playground to run around while inducting the mechanics

Cool mechanics. Really dig the xylophone music! Good work!

This was a bit too slow for my liking. I don't think the audio tutorial was necessary either and felt it added to the slow pace of the game. I would have rather had visual cues instead. The controls were a bit .. unnatural. It felt weird to move my hand from the mouse to the keyboard so often to change magnets and use it.

dvdfu 2015-04-24 00:59

Gameplay and tutorial were a little slow, but the music is great! Cool concept, too.

phocker 2015-04-25 02:48

wow this was like so complicated - it was an interesting idea tho - nice effort

samh 2015-05-03 12:37

The puzzles are interesting, too bad you didn’t release more levels. Also, please add alternate control bindings. I don’t have a mouse wheel and I had to wait a whole week before I could try your game at someone’s place…
