Clockwork Cat by patrickgh3
A 2D platformer about the adventures of a cat, a wrench, and a clock. Use your wrench to wind the clock up to 10 seconds backwards at a time to prevent it from striking midnight. Be careful, as winding the clock also winds other parts of the level too. Navigate the brass sky-fortress to get to the end! There's also a small easter egg to find. ;) Good luck!
I used FlashDevelop, FlashPunk, Ogmo Editor, Paint.NET, LMMS, sfxr. Music instrument samples from Freesound.org.

Feedback
The theme was greatly used and I really liked the gfx. :)
Graphics and music is lovely too.
In addition to the cute main character, the game has great puzzles and simple yet effective graphics.
The only thing I miss in this game is ability to look down/up so I wouldn't fall from the map :D
Best game for me so far ^^ Need a longer version of this!
The graphics are very cute and I appreciate the addition of music and sound effects.
All round, fantastic job!
great entry

Very impressive and atmosphere!
General concept, graphcs, music, leveldesing, game mechanics... ENDING is great. All great!
Only one issue is not reactive controls. Sometimes jump don't work =(
But I love the idea of using the time constraint for the platforms as well.
Congrats for making excellent game!
My only suggestion is the control scheme. This might just be a personal preference, but I would have liked another key for jump. Something like a or space. So minor tho!
I love the pixel art, and the music sounds soothing and fits the game quite well. The sound effects work nicely.
I quite enjoyed this game - good job!
PS: http://puu.sh/4d3ds/2c3d569aa1.png I love you :3
The cat handling that wrench looks so cute!!!
Maybe I should make a game with cats for the next compo, too. Then again, maybe better not !! :)
Absolutely great game! I would echo the sentiment that the jumping was a bit tight and unforgiving, but everything from the art style to the music to the emotion of the game was absolutely stunning. Great work!
I love it man! great job!
Brilliant concept, and it had me playing for a long time :P
kudos to you ol' chap.

Oh yeah, and it's cute! 5/5
One of the best theme uses I've seen so far!
And of course, it's cute. I ate the fish 'nomnomnom'.
loved the concept
the fact that you were able to get away with no UI at all and put the clock in the background was a clever choice
well done
cool graphics and take on theme.
Needs more puzzle aspect like the key that needs to drop.
I'm giving you PERFECT RATINGS!!!
controls felt pretty smooth and the mood was perfect.
I'm just so sad, that it's already over now. Needs moar levels!
Very nice game, really cute, but most of all, really a great use of the theme, I liked it ! The jump feels a bit sloppy however
The theme is well used with a couple nice ideas, the level design is good, the graphics, story and music are cute and peaceful... That's a really nice game !
I loved how not only the clock and the platforms are connected, but you also extended that idea to the key dropping part. The audio was sufficiently subtle, not the usual loud bfxr noises. I'd definitely like to see a more complete game based on this.

My one complaint is that it's rather short. But when you come across something as lovely as this, you'd be a fool to complain.
