Wonderful game, really beautiful. Loved the mini-games, but mostly, the ambience. Really interesting universe, would love to see more.
I unfortunately lost against the Rat King because it seemed I wasn't able to hit it anymore :( Great experience nonetheless

Simple CountdownThe hand-painted character art and clockwork cast give this a really charming storybook feel!

Everything CountsThe art and the music is amazing, some of the minigame is not very clear in gameplay, I have to try several times to figure it out, but overall, this is a very polish submission! Love your character design and style!

HotPotTimeI love the art and the music so much. The gameplay is really unique, especially the minigames. I suck at stamping rats.

BAWKtrackingIt must've been really challenging to put together such a large team, agree on a coherent vision and get all of this done in just four days! The result is polished, fun, and well paced. I especially enjoyed the tiny voice bits, it made the game feel so alive. Great job!

The Last CigaretteI was a bit frustrated by having to switch between mini-games under time pressure while repeatedly traveling from one to another. The slow movement when time was running out made that feeling even worse. I wish the mini-games were simpler and focused more on the action. Polishing crystals was my favorite. 😊
Awesome artwork and audio! I'd love to play more games made by your team.

Backwards SpiritBy far the best art direction out of the games I've played so far in the GMTK game jam. From the character and environment artwork to the VFX clockwork shader on the final boss, fantastic work. Seriously, five stars all round. Great job Second Fiddle Studio!! :D

HyperdriverHonestly, stunned by how well made this game is. Really hoping to see this amazing piece of work on Steam later on. Loved it. The different minigames, how the sound and visuals start to fade when time is low, the constant pressure. Extremely talented bunch of engineers and artists!
