A really really cool idea! The game was really fun
As others have said, you start a bit too difficult after the tutorial. There is a too big gap between the tutorial and the first level, I genuinely didn't understand what I had to do.
It would have helped me if there had been a few a bit easier levels - but maybe I was just too dumb for it xD
Otherwise great game, I enjoyed myself!

The concept is really creative and I loved being able to pull out anything even the tutorial pieces. It felt satisfying to figure out the twist in level 1 (after tutorial). I do think that being able to manipulate items in every direction is a bit hard to control and place. Maybe it would be better if you could lock to 3 potential orientations per item and hold a button to free spin around instead.
Got stuck on the third tutorial too, as well as the first level. Pretty imaginative! Still not sure what the purpose of the elements are.

i am tornado (and so are moo)Thx!
The main premise is the "anything can be a cog if you are insane enough"
For now this is just basically the fact the any object can be spinning if placed next to one that's already spinning. + Most of the objects are made out of materials that can interact.
At first I've tried RigidBodies where the shape and other stuff would mean more but it turned into some uncontrollable chaos - too much for the game.
On the other hand it would be still great to incorporate some + extra mechanics and materials, but for now I'm waiting for feedbacks and gonna play some other participant's games :D
The concept of this game is really well done! This actually has a lot of potential to be a fun puzzle game people can play. Y'all should def add more things and grow it more

Disoriented DrivingThe mouse sensitivity is too high sometimes you are just locked with spinning your mouse in way to be able to at least see what's going on.
All in all, the mechanic is good and idea is creative, but the game itself feels a bit empty, on the third level of tutorial was stuck for a bit.
But the concept is good.
