Great game! I really enjoyed the challenge and stress of running out of time while sliding arround lol, the controls feel just challenging enough without getting in the way and the art style fits the theme as well, I made it to 11 collectables, and then the game became hard for me to keep going, but I had a fun time!

What a very fantastic and challenging game

Well done

I like how you were able to encompass all of these factors all into one wonderful little game.

Really cool game! The main game idea is really nice with it naturally getting more challenging as you need to collect more and more cog wheels. I did feel that the jump or the fall specifically was too slow. This led to having to wait until you can finally jump again which is very annoying in a fast paced game like this. The art and music were amazing. Well done.

Quite fun game and follows theme well.
Everything seems to work fine. As of suggestions for improving this game:
- add visual feedback when mouse is over button and when clicked (after clicking play game has some kind of delay, and I was thinking it froze)
- maybe add more level layouts, cause after some time that one map might get not too challenging.
- add ingame menu cause right now there's no other way to exit than to wait for current "round" to end.

But in general no major issues, maybe some sprites are soft due to bilinear filtering, but whole game is fun to play.

Love the graphics. I actually quite liked the controls. They made me feel like I was stumbling all over the screen trying desperately to get gears.

Looks really good along with very nice audio and the challenge curve, it's definitely on theme. Well done :smile:

The gameplay is good. It's cool that there is an increase in difficulty. I like the level design, but the robot "slips". And it is clearly too high relative to these platforms jumps: then it knocks on the ceiling, then you can, without jumping to the upper level (which I think the level design hints at), jump on the spot to pick up the gears.

Art and sound quite create the right mood for themselves. :)

A simple and pretty fun little game. Could have used a bit more content, but it's okay for a jam game.

Really solid game! I like the very simplistic gameplay design and think it fits perfectly with the theme. The progression of the chaotic-ness is fun as well. Could use a bit more polish on the audio side (like more feedback for when a cog is acquired etc.) but overall, the graphics and sound design were done quite nicely. Good job!

Cute game! I have to say that your sound FX were really really great, I quite enjoyed the game with the volume turned up!
