Polar Shift

Created for Trijam #350 by Avmworksin 3 hours!

Polar Shift is a grid-based puzzle game about magnets and using them to unlock the path north.

You play as a small robot with magnetic abilities, driven by a simple question: what’s the largest magnet in the world?
The answer lies at the North Pole.

You can freely switch between North, South, and Neutral, changing how nearby magnetic blocks react to you. Opposites attract, similar poles repel.

Controls

• WASD – Move

• Q – Toggle polarity (North / South)

• E – Neutral

How It Works

• Opposite polarities attract, allowing you to carry a block.

• Matching polarities repel blocks away from you.

• Neutral polarity disables magnetic interactions entirely.

Magnetic blocks cannot be pushed directly.

I love any and all feedback, feel free to comment any critiques or questions you may have. 

Thanks for playing! :
