I discovered the strategy is to lure enemies into a tight space and then shred them as my gears bounce around wildly. Jolly good game!

Developer

Thank you, i also liked your game so much

Nice fun little platformer love the gears bouncing around! I got pinned to the wall a couple of times but that's fine nice submission cheers! Also, we would love it if you could check our game if you have time!

Developer

Thank you, definitely checking your game

This was quite fun once I got into it!

Spamming out gears in small rooms is hilariously overpowered and really fun to watch, and it was pretty fun to try to find those areas and lure enemies to them.

The visuals are nice too, I really like the background and that there's a unique sprite for when the player takes damage.

The only bits of criticism I have are that navigation felt a bit tough, it felt like I only got to the final boss because I accidentally picked the right direction, and the start of the game is rather punishing since you're in an open area with only 5 gears. Otherwise this was solid, great work!

Thanks, im not really good with level design

Took me a couple tries but was able to get the hang of it and was able to beat the boss. For something simple it wasn't too mind numbingly which is great for a game like this. Only thing that kinda frustrated me was how enemies could sandwich you to death if you happen to get trap between them, but I suppose that's the intention if you make bad movement/bad pathing. Either way, it was pretty fun and interesting!

Thanks, many people are saying things like that, im trying to improve those things

I dont know if it was meant to be a rage game but it felt like one in the best way. The screwdriver dudes absolutely destroyed me. Also the gear mechanic is so good, forcing you to go to tight spaces to properly utilize it, also the sound, awesome.

Pretty nice gameplay and art but i experienced a bug where i went into the ground.
