Nicely done. Love the extra wiggle you give to the hour hand as it ticks from section to section. I had a little trouble understanding the rules since they flash by so quickly in the game. Instead of saying "Right" I think you should say "Right side of the screen". Also instead of moving right and left say "clockwise" and "counterclockwise". Also sometimes I would hit a gear twice and it seemed that that would cancel out the reverse effect. It was a little confusing. Maybe add a visible status effect to the hour hand to let the player know when the controls are switched. Still great job for a 3 hour game!

Interesting game, the idea is creative, I liked it, my high score is 25.

The only that I didn't like about the game is the background colour, it will be better if it's a dark colour (personal point of view).

Anyway, good job! ... And please check out my 2 submissions:  Speedrun Unlocked ! and Escape the Bug.
