Simple controls, easy to understand. The gaps are kinda tricky sometimes, but it has a nice variety.
Great game!! The fun part is when you get to spin the lever while concentrating which part is gonna pop out and drag 'em into place!! I had lots of fun with this game! 5/5 :)
Nice game! It's satisfying once you get it set up and start spinning the lever. I was able to keep the lever spinning longer on one run by connecting multiple different paths to the output gear so when one popped off the other could keep going. That was pretty neat. Good job!
It was a really fun game! I liked the mechanic where speeding up makes you lose the gear and points-that was a nice touch.
I did notice a small visual bug: when placing a gear, even though it has a hole, you can't see through it .
Original gameplay! I didn't succeed because a cogwheel kept coming loose while turning it!
There is a depth issue on the handle:

Well done for this game!
Great game! Building the machine is fun. I was surprised when the gears fell off while spinning! I enjoyed playing it.
Great job! Thanks for the game! We have similar mechanics :)

This type of puzzle with gears is quite cool and challenging. You can imagine it having endless dimensions and complexities.
That was really fun! Since the game makes it easy to see what you need to do, it’s a casual game that anyone can enjoy, regardless of nationality or age.
I also thought the number of gears to choose from offered just the right level of difficulty.
Interesting idea, I played it a few times. First I did not understand why the gears were popping out. The sizes where correct and it did start turning the machine with score going up. But then it just popped out one random gear. I was trying to move each part so that it fits with the teeth perfectly, but always one of them popped out. But then I realized that I can just quickly pop it back no mather what angle and continuing to turn the handle, so I could finish the level :))) Sweet idea, good job!:) I tried as well your other game, the Sound Spiner, really nice play with sounds!! Relaxing :))
My mouse is on fire after all those cranking haha! Sweet and short game that challenges quick mouse movement.
We need gear noises!!
Pretty neat game. Here is my bad machine design XD. Also, I would like to play this game on my phone when Im bored. Would love to see it on app store.
your game is really nice but no music and i dont like the sound coming from gears
