New puzzle mechanic & other recent developments

Hello folks! Development on Reconfigure continues full steam ahead. Here's some recent things I've implemented for the game.

Magnetic blocks now follow the movements of adjacent magnetic surfaces and blocks. Previously they would have just fallen off as the magnetic grating would slide up and away from them. This should be a good building block for lots of puzzles!

Robots can be turned off via a handy switch on their backs when they are stunned. Or they don't even have to be stunned if you manage to sneak behind them! It's essentially like a backstab with takesies-backsies. I have some ideas for expanding on this functionality like units that can turn disabled robots back on.

If you're curious how I create content for the game here's two behind the scenes videos:

This was a pretty big and diverse video dump. I'll do my best to post more frequently here too. If you don't want to miss anything you can of course subscribe to my Youtube channel or follow me on Bluesky or TikTok.
