The magnet doesn't seem to work?
I found the objective of the game a bit confusing. How the difference between the minerals? And when enemies appear, one of them dies and I can't see where and why this happened. But ther magnetic works good! Fluid and fun catch minerals!. Good job!
Really nice game!! The graphics are very cute and the physics and the movements are smooth. I enjoyed very much, and I also developed some strategies like scouting for my base (I always forgot where it was) before picking with my magnet everything I mined. I couldn't really understand the objective. It seemed like I had to build something with the materials I harvested but nothing happened. Also the platform/base said that I should expect some kind of flying package, but nothing happened.
A very polished game, well done!
Its a fun game, I really like the feel of the character movement and the magnet mechanic. Would be cool if you could spend the gems on something. Or get automatic upgrades if you reach a certain amount.
You shouldn't use that in-game font (hint in the corner, "Q for laser"). Because Q does not looks like Q and I have to reload page to learn how to play. And I was not able to resume focus on game after alt+tab for a moment.
That is not a big problems, game is fine.
took me a while to figure out how it worked. Works well and a nice idea. Would have liked to see more enimies about to avoid as got a little bored.
I might be being stupid so bare with me, but I just can't figure this game out. Q and Space don't seem to do anything, and my counter says Wave 1 in like 90 seconds which is insanely long and it's not clear what I'm meant to do in the mean time. It feels nice to control though and looks good.
Interesting gameplay once you figure out what's happening, really like how the magnet feels. Really easy to get lost and not be able to find home again!
Also, is that a pig pen cypher on the home pad? I couldn't figure it out. All I got out was "AJABOM JJPACE CO".
The graphics are cute! As others have said, I also had a tendency to get lost, maybe reducing the level size or adding an arrow indicating the direction of the base could fix this. The magnet mechanic is very satisfying! Good job! :)
Potentially fun gameplay loop, but I can't figure what the blue crystals are for, nor do I understand the bottom half of the image on the base.
cool game if a bit confusing ^^
Took me a bit to figure out that you need to hold q and not just a single tap but other that that it worked fine. Movement is super smooth and nice, feels really good. My Problem was that the game seems a bit to big and the sides are cut of- Also the counter? (left side bottom) is a bit confusing, the numbers go up and the it's back to zero? Other that that it's fun! (Also it seems the game freezes if you tab out) image_2023-01-27_15-24-11.png
