Very cool game! I can definitely see this being fleshed out into a deeper puzzle game!

This game was so much fun, the tension of having to run with the mouse to spin the gears to save or block a character was great, loved the concept.

I've to disagree with my fellow developer bellow, for me at least the challenge and coordination of having to rotate the mouse and the time it takes to do it is what makes this game challenging and fun, if it was with the scroll i think the game would became way too easy.

What a great job! The game nicely fits Jam's theme.

I Understand why you chose to use a rotating mouse action, but I would prefer to activate the mouse wheel while hovering with the cursor.

Probably it could be a good hyper-casual mobile if u use swiping motion as the main input.

Again, well done.

Thanks! I'll try to experiment with alternative controls, idea with mouse wheel sounds great :D

I absolutely love it. The game feels super polished, the difficulty curve is perfect (I played it with a mouse, I'm guessing it's better/slightly easier on touch devices), I love the cranking controls and would've loved to continue playing it after the 4th level. You should make this into a full blown mobile game!

Thanks! I didn't test it on mobiles during development, but from my relatives I got a feedback that the controls on touch devices are a bit hard though, as at the end the screen is way smaller. I'm glad you liked the game! I'll definitely think of full release. :)

I just did a playthrough on my 6.5" Android phone and it's perfect. My problem is that I keep forgetting and confusing cranking directions, but the touch targets are sized okay for this display size (and probably up).

Wow, thanks for testing it on mobile! I really appreciate your feedback! :D

Easy to understand, I played it without having to look at instructions, nor even read the description!

Love it! surprisingly challenging to do a circular motion quickly and remember which direction :)

Thanks! I tried to keep the game simple yet challenging, I hope the levels aren't too challenging though :P
