Thank you for playing!
The incredible artwork is completely hand drawn, physically, by Mewyn. And I believe taken pictures of, since she would have problems with wildfire smokes ruining lighting. Mewyn can corroborate.
As for the performance issues, that’s because I had to use Polygon(mesh) colliders on some of the gears. They are extremely slow, even in small numbers, and I was supposed to replace them with custom logic, but sadly there was no time.
We are planning a post jam update with better improvements on all fronts though.
