About This Game

As a sentient magnet, enslaved in a factory, you have two options: work or be terminated!
However, not all magnets are born to work. Some dream of freedom and choose to rebel.
There’s a whole wide world waiting just outside those factory doors… you must remain positive!

GAMEPLAY


Flux8 is a puzzle platformer, based around the polarity of magnets and how they react to opposite and similar forces.
You play as two magnets named Newt and Tess. Navigate the factory floor, attracting and repelling at will to avoid your untimely demise.

Each level tests your understanding of magnetic forces to navigate and dodge the deadly working environment as you head for freedom.
Collect floppy discs throughout your escape to customize Newt and Tess with a range of fashionable accessories.

  • Solve challenging magnet based puzzles!
  • Customize your magnet!

CO-OP

Work alone or team up with a friend to earn your freedom, across both individual and co-op campaigns.


  • Work together with a friend in 2 Player Local co-op
  • Control both magnets independently to complete the co-op campaign alone

Pros: -80 levels of content (and maybe the community made ones). They are a mix of alot of jumping, perfectly timing events and well basically trying not to die. -Challenging puzzles. Each level feels unique so far. -Weird but amusing game mechanics. It gets some time to get used to it but the mechanics are logical and interesting to experiment with. -Cute characters. -Level editor. It has all the tools needed to put your ideas in one level. Cons: -Althought there is some story implemented, the focus seems not to be on it. -The controls feel a bit weird at the begining. -I dont really understand how does one get cosmetic items and can you aim for a specific one.

Haven't played too much of it, but it's very well made from what I've experienced. Definitely worth the try, even if you don't have someone to play co-op with. Levels are easily navigatable but also provide a bit of a challenge. As a puzzle lover, I enjoy this a lot, I look forward to playing more from this team! :)

[Rating 7:/10] An interesting puzzle platformer, where the central theme of magnetism is well-integrated and explored. Pros: - The concept of magnetism and co-operative play is exploited well. - Some interesting puzzles with a consistently increasing difficulty level. Cons: - Precise platforming sections can be frustrating due to the lack of friction on some surfaces, especially on the later levels. - Story doesn't really provide much of an incentive to complete all of the levels. - Main menu isn't cohesive or intuitive.

Pros + Very addictive - frustrating and entertaining + Beautifully put-together + Well-programmed + Great visuals + Great voice acting (discount Cave Johnson <3 ) + Brilliant music and SFX + Keeps you on your toes + Dat level editor, doe! Cons - Controls are a little counterintuitive at times - Start cutscene is a bit glitchy - Doesn't play so well on a sub-optimal computer - needs optimising - The difficulty curve is pretty steep (not a con, just means the player has to learn quickly) Overall, a fantastic, entertaining game which has clearly had a lot of time and effort put into it, and one I imagine I will play a heck of a lot more in the future, My score: 7/10
