If I could I would give a neutral review. This is a short and cosy puzzle game centred around magnets. It is quite polished and it flows nicely, but at the same time is somewhat simplistic and bland. The idea for the main mechanics is nice and the puzzles are well thought-out. It is just that the levels are small (most fit on a single screen) and there are not many options for what you can do. As a result I went through the vast majority of this game on autopilot, barely even thinking about what I am doing. There were only a few puzzles I needed to really think about, and I got stuck on one which required outside the box thinking (which is fine). This is worse at the end where you would expect some sort of finale, but it is kind of not there. The last three puzzles are in one room, but they are not connected mechanically, so it does not change much and for me they were actually simpler than the stuff before. The room also looked just like all other rooms. The ending was definitely disappointing. The game is also in a kind of awkward spot in how it manages plot and characters. Both are so rudimentary it might be better if they were not there at all. There are 4 characters and none has any personality. The most I can say is the main robot character seems to like helping people. It is telling that in the ending characters just don’t know what to do with themselves. Similarly with music - not bad, relaxing, but also bland and forgettable. Overall I didn’t have a bad time per se, but with many puzzle games to choose it is reasonable to ask for something more engaging or unique.

TLDR : Good if you enjoy casual/simple puzzle games or want to support GMTK, otherwise probably not worth it. Unless an expansion somehow happens :) I followed this game's development on GMTK youtube channel (the game also includes a commentary unlocked after your first playthrough), and of course I was going to buy it. That being said, I adore indie "big brain" puzzle games like Baba Is You, The Talos Principle or Patrick's Parabox... leaving me with unhealthily high standards. I found the game cute, pleasant and fun to play, and surprisingly rich in neat interaction mechanics. But a lot of these mechanics only appear once or twice (justice for the conveyor belt), and while you do get a few rewarding "aha" moments, you don't get the satisfaction of unravelling "big", intricate puzzles that test your mastery of several mechanics at once. That left me wanting more. The small scope is absolutely justified by the game's creation context, and it's very impressive for any solo developer's first game. But if your previous puzzle gaming experience has set high standards, you might be disappointed. I really hope it gets expanded in some way (although I doubt it will happen). To me, there is a lot of potential for new, exciting puzzles just from the existing mechanics ( we've catapulted a couple magnets, how about catapulting the player? where is the double laser? when do we have to travel down? ), plus many other ideas that were tested but scrapped. Would definitely buy some extra content!

This game is like a cheap pizza, it doesn't cost a lot and its enjoyable for the little time you have it, but i have nothing else to say about it and will probably never even think about this game again.

this is a good game from the first three worlds! the puzzle design is smart and gives that "ah ha!" moment which feels great and it's not too hard either! if you like hard puzzle games then this might not be for you but my main concern (and i hope this reaches the developer) is that the drill SFX is just so annoying and gives me a headache that makes me not be able to play for long but every other SFX is so good i feel like i'm missing out on a part of the experience without it. but overall, this is a pretty solid puzzle game

Finally! This is just a really fun puzzle game. The puzzles are made with simple assets, yet a little challenging. Graphics and sound do their job without distracting from the game. I get kind of "Portal" vibes just without a sarcastic villain (maybe? Haven't completed it yet :-D ) As a fan of Mark Brown and his video essays I see what he did here: The "Mini Tutorial" followed by challanges are done perfectly. Kudos for some acessibiliy options and things that are marked in the game anyway, the player always knows what switch/button will do what. It is fun, it is well made. Recommend it!
