Well done project! I spent more time on it than I planned, so good luck to you! Congratulations!
Thank you! Love to hear that it was interesting enough to capture your attention for longer than expected
I spent far too long on this 😂 good submission!
Thank you Mossy Boulder!

Thanks again Mossy Boulder!
oops! lmao sorry I don't know how I posted my comment twice!
Ah, the good old Sisyphus simulator. Now with gacha. Jokes on you, I won't be stuck here for 3 hours because I have a carpal tunnel syndrome and my hand can't take this cranking. Ouch.
Ok joking aside, what a fun game, very nice and chill time. Like my hurting wrist aside I did end up zoning out admittedly long and just looking at the wheel spin, so that should tell you the game is working as intended. Great stuff.
Loved your game as well. I aspire to the aesthetic that you have in Takeout.
#9 on the leaderboard. Great work!
Great score. I wonder how low I'll be able to push the times. Going to make a big push soon...
bro make this game like mobile addictive and you will make some real money i think
We have big plans to increase the addiction in the near future!
This is a perfect example of how a simple gameplay loop can be really addictive.
Greatly appreciate the positive feedback. I'm shocked how addicting it has been for me. I keep chasing the leaderboard dreams of #1. Maybe one day I'll take the throne from my dev.
Cool game idea, though I think my sens was way too low it felt pretty frustrating cranking it, maybe with faster upgrades? I personally did not go far. Otherwise I liked the creepy eyes and the door w the number that was pretty clever. It's a shame because I could see you put a lot of work in the late game too.
Thanks! Yeah, I understand how having a lower sens will be more frustrating to play. We got similar feedback when our friend with lower sens was playtesting this, so I did add an option in the menu to double your mouse sensitivity, not sure if you tried that out, but appreciate the play attempt!
So anyways..... I started crankin....
Live, Laugh, Love the crank. Sorry for the delayed rating of your game and all the other new commenters. I was out canoeing today and I'm catching myself up.
Not a problem man. I really enjoyed your game.
This was overwhelmingly addictive. Good thing there's upgrades for angle forgiveness - I figured out that at higher momentum values you can just keep mouse pressed without moving it and it just keeps cranking. This feature probably saved me from some intense wrist pain, because otherwise I wouldn't be able to stop myself from cranking it manually for an hour :)
Honestly, really good mechanics design and progression system - it feels so rewarding.
Oh, and also I tried to max out gacha chance as much as possible before even drawing one, since I figured they'd get a lot more expensive as I drew them. In the end I only grabbed a couple before the game ended :) I thought the ones on skill check chance and momentum decay were the most useful to me.
Glad to hear you liked it! Yep, we also definitely got some sore arms from playing this game way too much. Your intuition is right about upgrading the gatcha luck before going in on the gatcha upgrades.
This is peak gaming. Such a fun take on the clicker genre. The environment is very well executed and gives it the perfect vibe, and I love the inclusion of a leaderboard. Got my time down to about 20 minutes. I'll have to theory craft some more to beat your 11 minute time. I suspect skill checks and gacha early is the way to go.
Appreciate your review of our game! Means a lot coming from the brilliant creator of Crank!
Thanks for the kind comments, this is an honor hearing this come from the brilliant creator of The Watch! The inclusion of the leaderboard definitely was a great addition and made it much more fun for me to see everyone's best times, highly recommend it.
really cool game i spent way to much time playing!!!!
Thanks for the review! Big fan of your game as well. Congratulations on holding the top spot for most reviewed.
wait i am??? that is crazy!!!!
A shame that after 1M spins you just get out and don't get an option to continue spinning
Let him cook.
I really liked it, i think the atmosphere is great, and I like the idea of cookie clicker, but you need to actually do something other than clicking.
Yes we were quite drawn to the idea of a "skill based" idle game that required some type of precise input other than spamming a button. Glad you enjoyed it!
The visuals and sound design made the crank feel really realistic, which makes the game work really well. Great job!
I was shocked the first time I turned the crank. Made me feel like I was right there in that cell.
My arm hurts. But I bought everything haha.... simple but efficient little game!
Welcome to the pain train. We're all equal in the presence of the crank.
Just keep spinning, just keep spinning, just keep SPINNING!
Hoo that was a good exercise, love the visual and aesthetic
Also gambling yeah!
Honestly loved the game (Unlocked both mystery options too)
I've never felt muscle fatigue like I have after playing this game. Glad you got to see some of the easter eggs. Rise up crank nation.
CRANK NATION!
Almost spent an hour just cranking it, LOL
Well done
So happy to hear you enjoyed yourself. The whole right side of my body is sore but I can't stop cranking.
Be sure to play and rate my game
Good visuals, loved the aesthetic. Good job!!!
Thanks. Enjoyed your game as well!
i dont think i have the patience to keep going, loved the visuvals tho.
Even Hardwork couldn't turn the crank forever
lmao
