Reviews for "Attraction"

Uhhh....

2 for effort, I suppose. I ran the same one twice, and it went two completely different directions. Cute. I'm sure there's some random reason in physics about no two same paths or what-the-hell-have-you but as a game... no. If there's no reliability in setting up the field for strategy then there's a lot of frustration and not in a good way.

Try again.

Hope you got a good grade, though.

Hmm

Physics physics physics. Why do physics? It's going to fail. And that is what this game did, it was a bomb shell. Sometimes the game actually used physics, most of the time however...eh...

Let's take this example. I put a positive behind the ball, and it barely pushes it forward, I put a negative then a positive in the distance, somehow the ball FLIES over to the negative then jets off somewhere else. How come that happens? Then other times I'll move the negative closer, and it'll barely affect the ball. This game has it's flaws, it's too glitchy to take seriously. You'll get a 2 for graphics and animation, but please try and fix this.

Not done well

This could have been made much better, the repel was weaker than the attract, no instructions page, physics were too hard to control, i reccomend making the radius of the effext of push or pull small. glitchy too. could be good 2/10

I hate this game so much.

I was all: I like physics games! And then you proved me wrong sir. You proved me wrong.

Uhm... wtf?

I'm not so convinced by the physics engine...
In the first level, placing a + behind the projectile should be more than enough. The speed of the particle is not supposed to drop when it gets far from the source of the field: it's the strength that drops, and with it the acceleration. Another way to see it is to say that at first Coulomb potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, but when the projectile is far enough the potential becomes constant and so the kinetic energy.

Instead, the projectile slows down and slowly deviates towards the upper right corner: does it feel the field of the - charges up there? Maybe while not feeling the + charges?

Anyway, the trajectories are too weird for my taste, making easy levels much harder than necessary and hard levels too annoying.

I understand this was only a school project but please don't brag about using scary physics equations...

P.S. The major wtf goes to the comments, as always... I've read at least 5 reviewers referring to magnets, really sad...
