It was not easy and I did not manage to make anything. I did not understand the controls. The ball felt down at the top.

But what I understand from the other comments and from the screenshots. I like the game idea. And the graphics is nice.

I love the light switch at the start.

You moved the mouse too far away if the ball fell out of your cursor's range.

It wasn't easy, but I did it! A very original concept. Well done for making this black hole look so organic!

Very unique idea here. I enjoyed the physics aspect of this game. If you choose to continue development after the jam, I think adding more interesting physics objects and upgrades could be quite fun. Well done!

Developer

Tysm! I might continue working on it if it gets in the video and gets attention.

Game looks cool, wish I understood how to play it ;)

Really good idea, but it definitely needs a tutorial and maybe a visual indicator of the cursors gravitational pull.

Developer

Yeah that's a missed opportunity about the cursor

Ok ok yeah sure I might have destroyed the planed and possible the solar system but look! Box go loop!

Anyways this was fun, I always enjoy physics based games.Maybe as an extension you could require players to have things spin in more complex shapes?

Thanks for playing! I might continue working on the game if it gets into the yt video.

I rlly like the idea, a tutorial would be great. Spinning stuff is cool hihi

Will come and play it again later. Tutorial is definitely needed. Maybe a mouse pointer or magnetic waves so it's clear to player what's going on. Also, are you implying a monopole magnet is possible?

It almost works on phone, but it is very hard to spin things around. Will try later with mouse on pc

Enjoyed the gameplay of flinging the boxes across the screen, however I think the concepts could be explained slightly better in the tutorial. Great Job, enjoyed the ending cut scene, which surprised me for a four day jam.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize I need to use the mouse like a magnet on the ball, at which point I found out about the table that explains it. Woops! Neat idea, never seen a game like this!
