A downloadable game for Windows

Keep them join’d. A puzzle game with dexterity in mind. 

You control a magnetic force to attract maaaaagic spheres. Attach and transform them to solve a gauntlet of puzzle rooms. You can move around freely but the spheres cannot. 

Attaching them with your force and using the environment to squash the spheres into shapes are essential skills to master. Keep this in mind and you will beat the 5 included levels with ease. Every level demands a set number of shapes (spheres/cubes) to reach the goal simultaneously. Lose any of your precious spheres and you might as well reset. Or don’t.

This game was made for the GMTK Game Jam 2021 within 48 hours by Heimsel in collaboration with Wampow and metl. It was made in Unreal Engine 4 and we mostly used engine default assets to create this. With that said - there is no music. So turn up your latest Lo-Fi Hip Hop, Binaural Subsuperwave Classical mix and get focused with this one.

The movement and mechanics feel nice, everything is easily understandable and well explained. Good structure with the tutorial being part of the game experience, slowly adding new mechanics. Rather easy to solve as of yet, but there were definitely a few moments where you had to figure out the way to go. Last level really shows whats possible.

Not bad, 13/10!
