Kinda hard game for non QWERTY keyboards but I enjoyed the game nonetheless ha ha !

That's a cool interpretation of the theme !

Pretty cool concept!  And I like the music.
I had some trouble figuring out what to do, though. 😅

Yeah sorry about the lack of tutorial we ran out of time towards the end. 3 am submit time in australia!

big fan of playing as the magnet guy. scuttling around and slamming people into walls. i like how he one shots other magnet guys. also at one point when hacking i had to type "SASS" and i thought that was funny. hard game, but quite fun!

Nice game! It could maybe need a bit more explanation, but apart from that, it's good!

Really impressive stuff. I love switching to the big guy with the grappling hook and flying around the level bashing things lol. Fun game!

Very interesting premise. Having different playable characters for a game jam is insane! The art for them must have taken so long to make

Developer

Thank you! Thankfully the art wasn't too bad and mostly done by day one. Evil coding and merge conflicts took up far more time haha

Very fun concept ! The hacking is the stand out part for me : With a bit more work, it could be pretty special i think !

Developer

Thank you! I think we were a bit ambitious given the time-frame :D
