I wanted to make an escape room puzzle game similar to Portal and Qube but with magnetism as the main mechanic. I couldn’t find many magnetic puzzle games, and none that used physics for the magnetism.
This project ended up like a mechanics demo showing off the different ways magnetism could be used in such a game. I did make a couple of puzzles to see how the game would work. I can see why games simulate magnetism as relying on physics comes with a whole array of challenges.
Looking back, I quite like the idea but think it would be better suited in a more open exploration game like The Witness. An alien mine would be a good fit as it could feature a mixture of different metals and crystals that all behave differently requiring the player to discover how each one works to progress.
