Mind Over Magnet

Fun little game. There were maybe 2 or 3 puzzles towards the middle that felt like the mechanics they used weren't really introduced before being expected to use them, but otherwise it was all pretty intuitive

beat this game in 88 minutes, according to steam playtime. initial impressions were great, although the game started getting monotonous by the 2nd half. the entire thing felt like a mobile game, or at the very least a prototype pumped full of indie game juice. characters were shallow, story was a nothingburger, which isn't always a bad thing but worked against the game imo. the puzzles were sometimes clever, and had me spinning my wheels for a minute, though oftentimes were generally simple and didn't really make me feel anything positive. progression through puzzles felt generally unrewarding and unimpactful. summary: 5/10, would give it to my little cousin to play for 15 minutes.

Liked: - Clean, efficient art - Minimalist story does not get in the way of gameplay - Mechanics grow in complexity without becoming overwhelming - Puzzles are challenging without being too opaque Disliked: - Game felt short, with room left for greater challenges - Wanted more variety in Steam achievements

B- 不如作者视频精彩的平庸之作 优点 1. 游戏美术精致，色彩还是风格来说在解谜这个类型中都是比较出色的（但是为什么游戏的关卡给我感觉那么空那么大呢？感觉可以角色更大一些，让整个图更加紧凑） 2. 自带提示系统，且提示系统真的有作用（不像是一些隔靴搔痒的提示，或者过于简单随便就能想到实际上毫无推进效果），且实在不行还可以跳关（虽然关卡难度真的很低，只卡过两次） 缺点 1. 关卡设计太basic了。很多教学关，关卡数量过少，内容感觉浅尝辄止，尤其是结尾戛然而止，最后一关完全没有应有的难度，最后一关我都没什么思考就做出来了，一点都没有最后一关的样子，赶工的感觉很严重 2. 不喜欢扇叶这个陷阱的设计，理解成本比较高。承担了物理上和交互上两个功能，并不是很符合直觉，而且触发起来也比较令人困惑，一些和游戏内容的交互感觉并不直观（例如向上抛出不能撬动） 3. 故事载体很莫名。即使给幼儿园小孩都没什么好说的级别，虽然解密游戏不奢求剧情，也基本不要求剧情，但是你这个剧情着实让人想着有点，感觉还不如彻底删除，不知道哪里来的机器人遇到被炒鱿鱼的磁铁，最终三个人要开一个新的厂子，这… 4. 部分关卡设计的不够简洁。有时候让我觉得微操也能极限过，可以拉大差距让玩家明显感受到这条路不行，而不是有些错误解法每次时机都差非常非常细微

This is a fun little game for GMTK viewers mainly. It does pretty much what it says without anything standing out too much either way. The story is very shallow, almost expected a twist at the end but it never came. The mechanics are simple and easy to use. Puzzles are intuitive and I didn't get stuck on many of them for long.

Cute art, great music and well designed puzzles.

Cute, fun, and relaxing. Puzzle solutions are not obvious immediately. I quite like the design and the way it teaches mechanics to the player. I believe the target is someone who wants a quick, not too hard puzzle game, or someone that starts their journey in the puzzle genre. It is a bit too short to justify the full price, though. I haven't encountered any bugs or performance issues.

Enjoyed it, pretty easy and basic. About 2-3 hours of gameplay. $10 might be a little steep for what you get, I'd wait for a steam sale. (like I did). I could see if there was a community level maker this game/concept could really take off.

I would like to recommend the game, but I completed the game in under an hour. Some extras are unlocked after completion like level select and a developer commentary, but the game didn't interest me enough to want to replay. Puzzles had some interesting ideas and mechanics, but they were fairly easy to figure out and there wasn't a level that had stumped me for more than a couple minutes. Might be worth picking up on a deep sale.

The cutscenes are far too long, the puzzles are easy and if you make a mistake in the platforming you may have to restart the entire puzzle.
