The art reminds me of Hollow Knight!!Great job dude and the water shaders is amazing like those realtime reflections and how the water reacts when a gear falls into water and how you connect these gears together!! Nice game!!!!

Thank you for such a kind review!
Hollow Knight was actually my very first reference, though I don’t think the final result came anywhere close! :) I should also mention that most of the background sprites are based on ai-generated images. I refined them and sometimes used my own art as a base for the generation, but the backgrounds weren't drawn entirely from scratch.
