Cathode Ray by Figglewatts
Cathode Ray is a game about a CRT screen.
More specifically, it's about a single electron inside the cathode ray tube of the screen on it's epic quest to display the words "ENTIRE GAME" on a single screen.
To play the game you simply alter a magnetic field to change the electron's trajectory.
WARNING: Game may not be physically accurate (but I did use all the right words!).

Glad you made those polarizing things, for I would have only managed by pressing space! Good game all together~
I think the second level is actually the hardest one, mainly because of vertical walls, maybe because I wasn't used to the game yet. At first I was a bit frustrated by it, but after I completed it I completed the whole game and was like "That's all?"
Controls are complicated. All those magnetic fields changing your direction all of sudden, and spacebar affecting your movement in a strange way both when pressed and when released. It is difficult to learn, but you can make many original levels with it, so I would like to see a post-compo. It would make a great high-difficulty game!
And OMG the theme! The theme! That's brilliant!
But I love the concept the audio and the graphics - great job!
Brilliant interpretation of the theme, slick execution, hilarious text.
Like many people here, I struggled with Level 2. Level 3 was a breeze, and Level 4 was hard but not Level 2 hard.
Also I know you said you fixed the typo but the version I downloaded still says "W and D". I wonder if, co-incidentally, space+D might be a better choice of control than space+S. For consistency.
Great job all around!
