This is a really neat concept! I was surprised as to how much control I can have with only two magnet (thanks to them continually rotating on collision) One simple thing would give actual life to this game. Sound effects! Clinks on walls, futuristic electromagnet sounds on polarity switching, whooshes on speed, etc…
I wonder what kind of puzzles you could come up with more magnet configurations…

I think the idea behind this game is very unique and interesting. I definitely can see a lot you can do this with this mechanic, which could easily be a full game. I really liked messing around with the prototype, switching between the 2 magnets was a fun little experiment. So great work on the creativity here! I think the game could use some more feel, as you said in your post there are easy ways to do this (giving players control of rotations, etc.) Maybe you could incorporate this magnet mechanic in a game where you also have real time control of a character? Overall, I think this is a very creative approach to this project and is, even in this early state, pretty fun to play with. Excellent work!

Very good job making this prototype. I really want to play more levels. You definitely got the magnetic feel down. I also really like your level design and I think this concept would be really easy to implement in a bigger and more complex game.
