The theme for this game jam is "Limit Space," and your mission is to collect magnets to manipulate the deadly energy beam that threatens your existence.

Instructions:

  • Use the arrow keys to control your spaceship and collect magnets.
  • Gather EMP energy to charge your EMP weapon. You need to collect 5 canisters for a full charge.
  • When your EMP energy is full, press the spacebar to activate it and create a powerful disruption.

Can you survive in the limited space of the cosmos and outsmart the deadly energy beam? It's time to test your skills in "Magnetic Rescue"!

Nice and fun entry, the arts are good and the game is intuitive. I had a minor issue with the EMP animation freezing the game for a second each time (on Firefox).

Great job!

Interesting take on the theme, I like it. I get a small freeze when pressing space but other than that, a nice game.

Nice shooter without the actual shooting.

It's mostly fun, felt kinda cheap tho that the bar could move faster than the items. And once you get the strategy down it became almost too easy. The graphics and music were also nice.

Feels like the space pilot is doomed. My record is ~70k points (I outsmarted the beam twice). But actually it is impossible to last longer since the beam cuts the way to another magnet or battery. Also did not figure out what "atoms" do and why to collect them. But as solo game, very solid result!

You have to collect 25 atoms and the portal to escape will open. Best way to stay long in game is to collect magnets at the bottom and not fly to much around. If you have 5 batterys you can do a mega beam with space key, if u miss a magnet.

Nice music and sound. One issue is that sometimes power ups were in asteroids, which made them impossible to pick up.

Nice entry! It's a bit difficult to stay alive long :sweat_smile: I miss some explosion animation when you die. The first time I used the mega bean screen got frozen for a bit. Good job :slight_smile:

@betovf yes, no time for more animation :). Was my 2nd jam and I'm not that fast at pixelating and more sound. The freezing is in Firefox, in Chrome or Edge it should be ok.

Didn't realize the atoms open the portal until reading the comments, but made it to the portal with 100k+ points anyway! Really catchy music and the movement feels buttery smooth. It's a difficult choice of how long to hold out for the magnets, which makes the gameplay feel engaging I think. Maybe bonus points could be added if the player collects energy when they're already at full to encourage skillful playing and close calls?

Nice jam entry!
