Lovely stuff! Enjoyed seeing the showcase of all the different mechanics, and looks good! (yeah that -1 level is a little foul on the depth perception lol)

Cool little game. Only issue is that rotating the gears seemed to not work consistently at all. Still very enjoyable!
Great game! Enjoyed it thoroughly. I loved seeing the unused stuff at the end. Well done!
This was a really cool puzzle game with a great visual style. The N64/retro 3D look was super charming, and I liked how rotating the camera added another layer to the puzzles. The gear mechanic fit the theme really well, and it’s impressive that you made this many levels for a jam.
My main feedback is that rotating the gears took a bit to understand, and sometimes it felt like they didn’t rotate from the point I expected. Locking the camera during gear rotation, or making the gear center the rotation origin, could make it feel more intuitive. Some extra sound effects would also help, but overall this was a really creative and polished puzzle entry. Great work!
A visual-style puzzle game like this isn't easy to make, but it’s done really well.
That was a fun little puzzle game, I love the aesthetic so much, and rotating the camera to access gears from afar is a really cool mechanic! This game has a lot of potential and I'm really interested in seeing a full version someday.
Only critique is maybe just lock the camera during rotation and make the center of the gear the rotations origin point, only figured out what the actual origin point was while looking through these comments haha.
Really love the art style. Rotating the gears was not very intuitive, but not a big deal. Great job!
Fun puzzles and cool graphics! Not sure why but the gears sometimes won't rotate properly though :(
Great puzzle game, spinning the mouse took a while to understand, but the puzzles were really nice. Great job!
I like the art style and the perspective! Being able to rotate the camera gives a nice extra layer of depth to what you can do with each level. The gear spin confused me a bit though, I kept thinking that I needed to spin my mouse to make it move. That could just be me though!
I liked the game a lot and you took the theme well. Only played about half because my brain is not big enough for this game. Only issue I ran into was sometimes the gears would get "Stuck" and I could not rotate them unless I tried from a different angle. Overall good game!
