It's a game about Coulomb's Law!

You have the charge gun and there are iron boxes around you.
I think you've already guessed what this game is about.

And because of theme, there are some sort of enemies.

Says it can't start, because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing

I fixed it, now it should work for everyone.

Same.

Ok, nevermind, the issue was probably on my side.
Pretty neat game. Interesting take on the theme.

Doesn't start for me, I get an error and it crashes!

When I open the game I get a blank, black screen. Help?

I have no idea what's wrong. Try to Alt+Enter to windowed mode, maybe it will change something.
maunovaha20 Apr 2015, 16:08
Wow. That was pretty impressive. It was surprising how polished you have made the game. Nice! :O

As I said in you game comments, the error means that your videodriver or videocard itself is too old. Try to update the driver.

Nice game and nice mood. I was not sure how to get passed the third room after I killed all the ghost.
Neonian20 Apr 2015, 19:06
Very nice concept!
okacat20 Apr 2015, 19:07
I get a black screen on Win8

The game mechanics are really interesting! Your game is extremely well polished and the mood and graphics are perfect. Extremely solid entry! Funnily enough, I has a similar idea about attraction and repulsion but I used magnetic energy and a mobile device. ;)

There is something satisfying about riding one of those blocks around the screen and smashing the enemies. Very fun!
Firaa21 Apr 2015, 07:04
This was a pretty fun puzzle game. I'm impressed by how well it is made.
Dagatts21 Apr 2015, 15:08
Loved the song, the theme, the colors and had fun playing. It´s hard for kids though! My daughter could not get alive from the 3rd scene! ^^

I think the game doesn't really need the enemies. It would be better without them. :)
HolyBlackCat
HolyBlackCatauthor21 Apr 2015, 15:43
You're completely right!
It was 5 hours before the deadline when I remembered about them. "Oh shit, the theme says *weapon*, but my game don't have any enemies, I need to add them."
Andrew Quartermain21 Apr 2015, 16:21
Sorry, can't play it. Tried again, but it seems my creaking old laptop can't handle openGL 3.3 :(

Nice take on the theme! Personally I wouldn't need enemies, as I already like those kind of puzzles. But I see, that enemies add some sort of time constraint. I like really like the look of it. Good job!

Great idea, good mood and great puzzling. Excellent job HolyBlackCat!

The only thing I'd say is to make your camera lerp to your position rather than instant translation, that'll help it feel less jerky...

Other than that - pretty good platforming physics and amazing charge mechanics! Such a good idea :) I also created a platformer/Metroidvania type thing, so I'm very happy I stumbled onto your entry!

Very good puzzle game ! Graphics are efficients and concept is really good !

One of the best I've seen so far. Intelligent.

Spectacular mechanic. Very unique. It is simple to understand but can produce many complicated puzzles. I am also a fan of the music. Very minimal, but it sets the mood really well. Nice job!
flwns24 Apr 2015, 04:12
this is one of my favorite entries, cool stuff

It's quite difficult, but pretty good. I like how the attraction force is pretty much constant regardless of distance, it removes the chaotic element of physics unpredictability that ruins many physics-based puzzle games.

Working fine for me. And it is pretty good game! I really like gameplay mechanics! Great work!

Loved it! This was genius! :D The music really set the mood, and the mechanic was very, very fleshed out for something made in such a short time. The difficulty ramped up a bit too quickly for me though.
zerocreativity126 Apr 2015, 11:47
I really like the game. it would be nice if you could add some more mechanics and make into a full game. Some plot to the game might help. But really solid entry.
CiderPunk7 May 2015, 14:08
wow those were some tough puzzles excellent job!
Pietdagamer8 May 2015, 12:50
Wow, a very creative mechanic! I had a lot of fun playing the game. The audio and graphics are very fitting.

I apparently can't run the game because my "videocard is too old", too bad, it looked very nice.

I didn't immediately identify that the characters and spikes would kill me, and the death screen lasts a bit long unless you think to try and move, but beyond that this is a very clever and entertaining game :)
mokujin8 May 2015, 17:10
Amazing puzzles!
crazya028 May 2015, 17:29
Cool concept, and the puzzles were interesting!

Unfortunately, I can't run it... On 2 notebooks (Windows 7 and 8), the same error:
> OpenGL 3.3 (compatibility profile) context init failed.
> 1. Update your videocard driver [note: I tried it but it didn't help]
> 2. Force your driver to use best available videocard for this application. If it still complains about your OpenGL, then your videocard is probably too old for this program. [note: x_x]

Very nice game, made it through several levels. I liked the graphics and the concept is very interesting.

Quite difficult bit pleasing
