It's a good idea to go with the puzzle game concept, I really liked the little twists with the little Godot, poison, and the power. One minor issue with the drag-and-drop controls using the Enter key, but otherwise it's a good submission ! GG !
tysm! yeah, ill try to improve the drag and drop controls in the future :)
Cool to see so many creative takes on gear puzzles, nice work with this one :)
thanks :)
Really cool idea! It was a tad bit glitchy while playing on my end. I think it's a bit unclear where I can and can't place gears. Also, as previously mentioned, having to press Enter instead of just releasing the left click feels rather clunky. I still had a fun time regardless! I really enjoy the visuals too :)
Thanks! yeah, ive heard placing gears is annoying a LOT. i can see why that would be annoying, my original thought process was that i didnt want anyone to accidentaly place gears. also somehow in my playthrough before publishing the game, i didnt run into ANY of the bugs somehow lol. also, thanks, i drew the visuals myself :)
Fun idea! My experience was pretty buggy — the game got stuck when I tried to go into the (nonexistant) tutorial, and when the godot monster ate my gears. If there were a back/restart button, I could have kept going, but without one I had to reload the page entirely. I also couldn't poison the godot monster no matter how I tried to poison the gears. I think the animations are cute, the colors are great, and with a little more time to knock out the bugs, I'd love to play again.
we added a reset button in the pause menu, might have been able to make that more clear tho
How do you open the pause menu?
escape button
Its a pretty fun game, i was pretty confused in the beginning but i enjoyed it still!
yeah i was surprised when people said they were confused at the start because i made it pretty clear what to do. but i guess i just knew my game a bit TOO much lol. if i ever come back to this ill make a proper tutorial :)
Good concept, but I agree with one of the other playtesters, the drag and enter was really annoying. I did like the concept of the poison to get rid of evil Godot, also evil Godot was really silly I loved it. Power mechanic seemed a bit bugged, I had 5 power and the final wheel wouldn't turn still (level with 3 godots and a poison)
yeah, if i ever come back to this game, the first thing im doing is fixing the power system. it sucks
I feel like I needed a tutorial. If only there were a tutorial!

Very cool puzzle game, didn't beat it completely because i couldn't get the poison to work? also the placing mechanic would sometimes just put the gear back without placing it.
still a solid puzzle game
Cool concept but having to “press a button” just to drop something that I am holdind with my mouse seems counterintuitive. Just releasing the button to place the gear would be a huge UX improvement.
thanks for the suggestion! if i ever come back to this game ill keep this in mind
