Fork off! - That fork would look great on the floor...
Pea'd off! - Hide your greens.
Greek Wedding! - Smash those plates!
What a mug! - Who needs coffee anyway?
Desk
Coup d'etat - Topple the ruler!
Last screening - Real pros don't need no monitor.
No pen left behind - I love the smell of falling pen in the morning
Squeaky clean - Mice squeak...
Score
At least you tried - Fail completely
Become the magnet - Rack up the points

The game screen starts at a very small resolution but is resizable and i recommend sizing it up a bit.

The sound is really quiet, though...
Great graphics!
3D objects look great and feel very realistic but I think 'pixel' art style feels out of place.
Music gives it a nice mood. Great game!
But its always Game Over for me. But fun to play around with.
Great work on the achievements.
Original :)
(Great game btw)
However, even when I knew where my magnet was, it was still hard to control the ball, especially to make it stop.
