Very cool concept. Plays really well and is also challenging. Not more to say than this is a very strong entry, no bugs found as far as me playing so thumbs up! I hope more people play and review this.

This is really fun. I wish blocks would get destroyed over time.

It's a neat concept and it plays well. Wish the interface was spelled out a bit more in game but obviously the time pressure makes stuff like that harder to get to. Good job!

i wasn't able to try repellers neither attracters :S

it seems easy at the beginning, i would like to see harder levels

graphics, sound and collisions are really good, congrats

Looks interesting, enjoy these toy-like games. Am unable to switch to different block types, no clue what to actually do!

Good idea, simple and funny. The music is good but missed a tutorial

Very simplistic game, good music, graphics etc.
I like the concept idea but i'm unsure how this fits into the Ancient Technology theme, but overall good game and concept well done :D
