RULES

(
todo!

a magnet which hits a wall on its left side should carry a "right failed" signal.
that "right failed" signal spreads to other magnets in direct contact with it.
the "right failed" signal denotes that the object moving right has hit an object and failed to move.
magnets use their right filed signal to e.g. stop a metal block from moving due to an unsuccessful magnet push.

message rudimentary key-and-door system
message like level 2 but much more remote
message for this to be taken full advantage of larger levels would probably need to be used

message perhaps levels start out small and gradually get larger and larger until something like this is feasible?
message perhaps introduce some mechanic which can transmit magnetic attraction from one space to another without needing to use physical magnets?
message would be nice if there were just a small amount of mechanics that can achieve a lot when used together
