It`s a nice game, though i was a little confused at the start. Nice goblin voice by the way!

Hah I really like the coments. They reall fun. The game plays well however, for me the controls could give a little bit more leeway in relation to the space of the gameplay. Overall well done!

An interesting and funny little game. I am not sure that I am fan of the controls, but the idea is fun. Well done.

An interesting concept, and I like the character and polish of the game, however, I didn't really feel that controlling the drill was particularily fun. Maybe some particle effects for when you were drilling would make it feel more fun.

I didnt read how to use magnets at the beggining and this game seemed very hard, i barely managed to complete the first level. But then I figured it out :) I've never seen such cool feature. It was funny enough ;D

The pretty look drew me in and indeed, the game looks very nice!
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!

@yaen Thank you for your detailed review!
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 "

Goblin's voice acting is great, as is the whole game)

Great work! Love the visuals, the goblin voices are great, though they do layer over eachother a bit when you lose. I think the idea with the magnets is interesting however the controls feel kind of weird and clunky. Overall great entry! Would love to see a full game of this. Well done!

The concept is fun, but the controls are nonintuitive and kind of annoying.

You really channeled your inner goblin, nice work! Controls were frustrating, almost felt like a crane game
