How does your game fit the theme?
A clock sits in the middle of each level, constantly "counting down". You must wind the clock's hand back up to solve puzzles and traverse through the Clocksmith's basement.

Cool take on the theme! The puzzles are fun with the clock mechanic, I liked the art a lot, and the music really set the steampunk atmosphere
I’m glad you enjoyed!! I’m very happy with how it all came together :)
Haven't played all levels yet, but I think it's good! (Sometimes it's kinda hard because you die immediately when you step into steam.) Also I'm stunned that your team made all the assets!
Thanks for playing! I would recommend levels 8 and 9 for their puzzles (and lack of steam). I agree that the steam can be harsh!! I gave a slight window of time to allow you to get out the way, but evidently the level design should probably make the steam easier to avoid anyway... Glad you enjoyed though :)
I really loved the game! The clock hand mechanics are super cool and make for great problem-solving. Plus, the steampunk aesthetic is just incredibly beautiful.
I'm honestly surprised I haven't seen more steampunk themed games! I love the aesthetic and it seemed to fit very well with the mechanical clock gimmick :). I'm glad you had fun with our game!
This was a really creative take on the theme! I had a lot of fun, and I particularly enjoyed the pursuit level. Music and art were great, I initially assumed they must've been premade assets, so it's impressive you all managed something of this quality in a game jam. Good job!
Thank you for playing! The pursuit level was definitely straying from the core puzzle aspect but I wanted to try leaning into the speed run side of things some more, so I'm glad it worked out for you!
great puzzle game! the music syncing up to the clock is a nice touch. the insta death did make it a bit hard, but everything pushes/slots into place in the case of the gears really easily which helped.
Thanks for checking the game out! Yes, I made the song in 5/4 with a beat per second and 12 bars so the song would take exactly a minute and be split up like the hour markers on the clock. I had fun putting that all together :)
Very creative clock mechanic, good job :D
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fun puzzle game. Cool take on the theme, really enjoy the gameplay :D
I'm glad you had fun! I'm very happy with what we ended up making :)
a very soothing game that plays on a whim. Love the approach for the clock to be moved manually. Also liked the fact that the game doesn't give you a count down timer so you don't have to rush unless you're a hardcore speedrunner
Thanks for playing! I wanted the game to have speed run capabilities but yes I'm glad we didn't force the player to complete it within a time limit. That is, of course, unless the clock has a death segment like level 6!
