The reviews might not seem like much, but the thing is - the dev actually went ahead since most (all?) of them were posted and improved a lot of things. The game's still ROUGH around the edges and there's a gigantic difficulty spike at the very end, but now I'd say the experience is actually fun for the most part.
In a nutshell: You play as Kleitron, a sassy little robot exploring a ruined world. The main draw of the game, apart from the aesthetic, is your assortment of gravity-manipulating tools which you use to move platforms around. It's a Metroidvania of sorts; the map is semi-open, but there's always only one new place you can go to with your current set of upgrades. The map screen always updates when you get a new piece of gear to show you where you've been and which area you should explore next. It's a little weird, but it works.
The main issue is that the game sometimes expects you to do very precise trickshots while jumping, and your air movement is very quick and there's this slight delay between the button press and the shot. For the most part it's fine - it's a little like the original Castlevania on the NES, where there's this deliberate delay which sets the pace of the game; but there are two sections where you're supposed to do some very quick shooting and problem solving in a sequence and under time pressure. While I died some 5 times during most of the game, the final sequence caused me to die 20 more times - that's how severe the difficulty spike is. But in the end I was satisfied with how it turned out.
I recommend Attraction if you like experiences that are a little rough, but bring some interesting stuff to the table. There's definitely some ideas here that could one day form a bigger, more refined game.
