Aside from a few bumps at the start, this game was quite interesting and had me thinking for a bit on some of the levels. The physics and collision seem very impressive for something done in only 70 hours, Great job on that! Furthermore, the concept of the game is very unique and had me laughing when I realized the connection to the theme. Some things could use some improvement though. Specifically, it was not very obvious the switches were closed when the circles were touching them and led to confusion as to how to activate them. Another thing I noticed was that you can click the red '+' sign to turn the current on and off to the whole circuit but it does not state that it is a switch or show whether or not it is on. Those issues are very small though and overall, it was definitely worth my time to play. Level design was solid enough to show me how to activate the switches without the animation so good job on that! Solid game considering the engine was made from scratch.

@luther-1 Thank you for the comments! Being able to click the plus is not what's supposed to happen, as it makes almost all the levels trivial, thus acting as some sort of "skip level" button, we have patched it now, as it is trivial to change but game-breaking.

well done guys! i like teh physic of the magnetic field and collisions as well, try to implement with more level, was really funny and engaging

I have nothing further to add to Luther comment. I had the same feeling about your entry, and enjoyed the game as weel :) Congrats !

An interesting puzzle game and a very unique take on the theme; the last level felt a bit fiddly having to click two of the nodes in quick succession, but the magnetism physics effect was well done and there's lots of potential for additional puzzles/mechanics to be implemented in the future.

The game is pretty cool! I felt like I had to cheese the last level to beat it by disabling the currents as fast as I could. But overall I enjoyed my time with the game and it's pretty impressive that y'all made the game from scratch with your own engine. Great work!

I find this game very interesting and I really like it considering that it is related to science. Impressed by the job done in collisions!

I am not sure that I 100% understand this game, but at least I solved some of the puzzles. Overall an interesting LD game. Well done.

When you understand the game it's actually very fun! I would love to see more levels and more puzzles with those mechanics and new ones. Good work!
