I like the concept, but struggled with the controls. The abilities that kept changing meant that I wasn't able to rely on muscle memory for using them, and I wasn't sure if I was meant to be defending an area or just running away from the enemies. I found that attacking enemies was challenging, because they were either too far away from the area of effect, or I couldn't get them within my cardinal facing direction to hit. All that said, I like the art style and the music does wonders to immerse me in this clockwork world - great job!
