A simple platformer about a magnet trying to save her sister from a magician's pocket-sized world; incomplete with only a few levels available, however the level editor should be sufficient to generate and play rudimentary levels. Please enjoy playing around with Maggie's unique skills!

Use your magnetic abilities to push and pull your way through a variety of levels! If you're running out of steam, pick up some sparks and recharge your health!

Stops you from playing.

Build Controls

Mouse
Moves the build cursor around. If you move it close to the edge of the screen, the camera will follow after it.
Scroll Camera Gamepad
Right Stick

Arrow Keys / WASD
Moves the camera on its own without moving the build cursor. Can be useful to quickly get to a part of the level.

Modify Gamepad
X
Keyboard

Switch Selection Gamepad

Just, like, click on them
Changes the object you have selected for placement. You can also choose menu options like playtesting or getting back to the title. If they don't work at first, try "placing" them.

Credits & Junk

The main theme was composed by Sam Shandley! I highly recommend checking out his work.

Otherwise the game was made by me I guess?

Personally I recommend using a gamepad for playing and keyboard for building.

And be sure to only play levels from people you trust! I don't think a raw text dump could do anything too harmful, mind you, but it's always better to be careful.
