You nailed the world build concepts of your game. You had excellent narrative pacing throughout the game. You music is also a stand out as well. As a platformer I think the controls felt a bit slippery but i feel you made up for it with generous sized platforms which gave your game Mario 3 vibes.
Also i am puting together a best sound track ost for this jam and id love to include your game on youtube if i have your permission. Your music really captivated me in your game.
Glad to hear your high praise! It's especially nice to hear about the plot, we tried our best to make everything harmonious, where the plot and the game complement each other and thereby even better reveal the theme of machines, where the graphics and music further deepen, emphasize and create the appropriate atmosphere ;).
I'm glad you noticed the slippery steering, it's made that way on purpose, depending on the oil level - the higher the oil level, the slipperier the gear, the longer it stops, but at the same time it moves faster and jumps higher, and vice versa. In the end, this is how machine oil works :).
Regarding YouTube, I'll get back to you on Discord.
