Top game!

It`s a nice game, though i was a little confused at the start. Nice goblin voice by the way!

Hah I really like the coments. They reall fun. The game plays well however, for me the controls could give a little bit more leeway in relation to the space of the gameplay. Overall well done!

cool game, graphic and sound are very good !

dmytro-zhukovetskyi 2021-04-27 16:36

It sets great mood and sounds are amazing. Interesting idea with controls, but its hard to get used to.

Funny game!!!

Nice game! I really liked the idea and the graphics. For me the levels were quite tricky though :D

argorum 2021-04-27 19:01

@hgushi Thank you! we've made a lot of effort to get the ideal result!

Magnets to movement is cool idea!

jk5000 2021-04-28 07:04

An interesting and funny little game. I am not sure that I am fan of the controls, but the idea is fun. Well done.

An interesting concept, and I like the character and polish of the game, however, I didn't really feel that controlling the drill was particularily fun. Maybe some particle effects for when you were drilling would make it feel more fun.

Interesting and cool game, want to play more and more, waiting for the next levels!

I didnt read how to use magnets at the beggining and this game seemed very hard, i barely managed to complete the first level. But then I figured it out :) I've never seen such cool feature. It was funny enough ;D

Really good game!.

panurge 2021-04-28 17:59

Really good art and mood. We found it very tricky to control but enjoyed it.

incredible-potato-kids 2021-04-28 18:13

Loved the graphics! nice little game

sadsmile 2021-04-28 19:26

nice game! I could see myself playing this on a mobile phone.

The pretty look drew me in and indeed, the game looks very nice! The control scheme while certainly being innovative, was very hard for me, especially with the precise drag&drop while also having to go back and forth with the keyboard at the same time. It was just a cognitive overload to control for me. Maybe just moving all magnets at the same time by adjusting your mouse position overall would've been easier to deal with. Like this, I sadly only made it past the first level and got frustrated with the second one especially since so many of the materials are placed near the edge and there's no grace period at all once you reach the edge.

I hope my little rant here wasn't too discouraging and at least a little helpful. It's still one of the better games in the jam, even just for the great looks & goblin impression!

Sweet game, took me a while to get use to the controls but it was loads fun. Innovative way of controlling.

carsten 2021-04-29 17:44

Super hard to control. But the graphics and sounds are so fun! 👍

argorum 2021-04-29 18:15

@yaen Thank you for your detailed review! We tried to keep the balance between dynamics and difficulty, so that's why we choose current variant of controls:) Also, thank for your idea of controlling, we'll definetly try it out in future! P.S your review was super encouraging, because when I saw who were you working with , I thought "OMG, Game designer who works with 2 current top gamedev youtubers said that my game is one of the better games! It's definetly a successfull GameJam XD "

Goblin's voice acting is great, as is the whole game)

pnkvrt 2021-04-30 14:05

Great work! Love the visuals, the goblin voices are great, though they do layer over eachother a bit when you lose. I think the idea with the magnets is interesting however the controls feel kind of weird and clunky. Overall great entry! Would love to see a full game of this. Well done!

wizard-sino 2021-05-02 13:59

The concept is fun, but the controls are nonintuitive and kind of annoying.

knatt 2021-05-15 18:38

You really channeled your inner goblin, nice work! Controls were frustrating, almost felt like a crane game

neowedge 2021-05-15 18:55

Funny and original entry, great job!
