Interesting idea with controls, but its hard to get used to.
The control scheme while certainly being innovative, was very hard for me, especially with the precise drag&drop while also having to go back and forth with the keyboard at the same time. It was just a cognitive overload to control for me. Maybe just moving all magnets at the same time by adjusting your mouse position overall would've been easier to deal with. Like this, I sadly only made it past the first level and got frustrated with the second one especially since so many of the materials are placed near the edge and there's no grace period at all once you reach the edge.
I hope my little rant here wasn't too discouraging and at least a little helpful. It's still one of the better games in the jam, even just for the great looks & goblin impression!
We tried to keep the balance between dynamics and difficulty, so that's why we choose current variant of controls:) Also, thank for your idea of controlling, we'll definetly try it out in future!
P.S your review was super encouraging, because when I saw who were you working with , I thought "OMG, Game designer who works with 2 current top gamedev youtubers said that my game is one of the better games! It's definetly a successfull GameJam XD "
