Description
You are a robot trying to find your way home.
This game was made for the first Kongregate Game Jam, with a theme of "attraction". I also selected an optional modifier that forbids text in the game.
Most of this game was made by me. The exceptions are xxHash, Unity Game Engine. and the music, all of which are linked in the credits (possibly blocked by a pop-up blocker) and here:

How to Play
I originally intended for the players to figure out how to play the game themselves, but the game turns out to be harder to learn how to play than I thought. So, here are the instructions:
WASD or arrow keys to move.
Mouse to control magnet.
The magnet is effective on enemies and loot. It loses charge and becomes weaker the longer you use it, but it recharges when it is not in use.
When you collect loot, you regenerate health. If your health is full, you gain experience. When you have enough experience, you level up and can upgrade yourself. There is no upgrade maximum and you don't lose upgrades when you die, but you do lose all your experience. The upgrades are:
Max Health
Health Regeneration
Defense
Magnet Range
Magnet Strength
You can kill enemies by giving them contact with saws. White saws can break after a while, but black saws are invincible. Enemies get stronger as you progress into the junkyard.
That's all you need to know. Good luck and have fun!
Developer Updates
Sorry if this is an bothersome game message. Just hit that block button if you donโt want to have updates of this game sent to your inbox.
Had some time on my hands and updated the game as I said I would. It shouldnโt have any bugs or too much lag any more.

I like the simple graphics, but I'm not sure what to do in this game. The magnet doesn't seem to have any effect on enemies, how am I supposed to kill them? Also after a few restarts the game started to lag very badly.

Sorry. I kind of assumed everyone would eventually completely learn how to play the game themselves. I'll update the instructions. I'm pretty sure the reason your magnet isn't working is because you didn't let it charge (look in the updated instructions). As for the lag, I'll try to optomize it after the game jam is over. Thank you for your feedback.

I like the fact that Pio6 addressed the very same problem 4 years ago, and the devs never fixed it. Assuming the players will figure out how to play the game is the most ignorant presumption I've ever seen. Games like this belong on Newgrounds with the other garbage games.
The instructions are in the "instructions" tab on Kongregate. Should be right next to the comments section, or below "Info", "Description", and "Game News" on the side panel next to the game.

Been trying to play it for 5 minutes, pressing at more or less random places on the screen but no result, nothing happened. Nice picture of a robot on a junkyard tho.
Well, maybe I should have actually put the basic controls in the instructions from the start. Use WASD or arrow keys to move and use the mouse to control your magnet.

Pro Tip: don't run away from the robots. The farther you go into the junkyard, the stronger the robots get. Also, once a robot spawns, it can't unspawn until you kill it, so running into the junkyard will only increase the amount of robots in play. Finally, a surplus of active robots will cause the game to seriously lag.
