Nope - I've completed at least one game jam before.
How does your game fit the theme?
you progress by starting gears that power the doors,
also you "start" your big gear by hitting it, it's the main weapon

Love the concept of pinball side scroller! Super unique gamplay and the puzzles were fun! I did find a lil snag with the doors and accidentally closed my gear in when it shut and unable to spwan a new one, my only solution was to respawn XD
Interesting mechanics done in a fun way that takes the platforming in an interesting direction.
I really love the game design for this one! the fact that you keep introducing new mechanic types while merging them with old ones makes a really coherent game. I love how you can "accidentally" create new techs by finding them early as well. Overall a Pretty cool game!
(PS you can semi consistently do a super jump with the gear if you call it somewhere, move away, and keep pressing your hammer and the gear towards a wall. it can be furthered with the dash ability as well :3)
Fun game! I really liked how all of the mechanics start gears in different ways. I did have a moment where my gear went so fast it clipped out of the map and I couldn't retrieve it with the magnet but besides that one glitch it was a great time!
I imagined that glitch could happen but didn't get to address it other than it returns to the player when dying or reaching a checkpoint, but definetly will address it if I keep working on the game. Thank you for checking it out and for the feedback!
Enjoyed my time in starting Gears.
Love the mechanics, even though it gets wild towards the end.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for playing!
