How does your game fit the theme?
The Broken Clock is a short puzzle game about fixing time from the inside. You guide two cursors through a living clockwork machine, recording their paths in short loops so one can replay while the other acts. Hold buttons, turn cranks, and invert time when a mistake locks you in — then race the countdown before the gears jam for good.

Creative and beautiful, but I just barely don't have the energy for this level of thinking right now! I appreciate the tips that eventually show up to help you through tough spots!
Really beautiful and it's an amazing idea for a game, I can't tell much about the ending because I'm stuck and I don't know how beat the game(i'm dumb). Good job.
Really cool puzzles, and the aesthetics remind me of old 'Tim Burton' stuff. :D
Congrats on the entry! <3
I really love your puzzles, the game is fun and smooth, with a little bit of difficulty. To be honest, the opening animation took me by surprise, it’s absolutely stunning! Amazing!
This was a truly high-quality game. The ideas were innovative and brilliant. Honestly, I can hardly find a single thing to complain about. Did you create this entire thing by yourself?!
Very cool! Some of these puzzles took me a while to figure out but it was overall very satisfying to solve. Great game design!
Interesting game and truly beautiful graphics.
Super creative concept, and I'm loving the art style! I think I might have found a minor bug though: if you press the button, and fast enough, you can sometimes clip through the barriers before they fully close. Still, awesome job!
ok WOW this game is STUNNING!!! crazy to think this was made in 4 days, huge huge huge props to the developer(s?)
Beautiful art! That animated intro especially, wow! I found the gears somewhat fussy, but otherwise this was great.
Thank you so much! Yeah I should have worked on the manipulation more but I was struggling so much with time!
The art style is fantastic, the sound design is excellent as well, and I love your level design.
Thank you so much!
It's so beautiful and rarely I hear such a good sound in games in the game jam. The gameplay was nice too.
Thanks! That's kind to hear!
