The link didn't work for me, just a blank page.

swizzcheez 2013-04-29 06:02

Same here -- blank page

neverautomatic 2013-04-29 06:03

I'm having the same problem, just a white screen.

vdogamez 2013-04-29 06:05

The file doesn't seem to be loading for me in any of my browsers. I just get a white page that says "movie not loaded" if I right click.

nseward 2013-04-29 06:07

The link should be fixed now.

algidplasma 2013-04-29 06:20

Awesome game, but the music kind of turned me off.

sol_hsa 2013-04-29 06:25

Absolutely brilliant! I'd swap the last two levels though, as the second-to-last is easily the most difficult.

neverautomatic 2013-04-29 06:26

Glad I came back to try this one. Very fun!

swizzcheez 2013-04-29 06:30

Very nice. Everything, er, meshes well together.

somenetworkguy 2013-04-29 06:51

This is a very clever game! Great job!

vdogamez 2013-04-29 07:00

I'm glad I came back to this. I can't really do the time trials but I had fun playing the levels. This reminds me a lot of another game I played a long while ago, and the core mechanic of spinning wheel player was enjoyable there, too. Not being able to see the course, however, served to make this game pretty unique. I've said this on a lot of comments for games already, but having lots of levels really seems to be a big improvement in games like this.

I'm stuck on 2nd level. Nice idea of spinning gear physics. Neat how this may evolve further! good stuff!

patrickward 2013-04-29 10:50

Love the graphics and the spinning gear. Fun concept. I got stuck on the 2nd level though. I couldn't get the gear to past that initial u-turn path.

notnasiul 2013-04-29 17:06

Fun concept! And minimalistic, indeed :D

jackamikaz 2013-04-29 17:11

Nice mechanic! oh look, I made a pun

luzfish_4 2013-04-29 17:30

I'm also stuck on the 2nd level. The gear seems to have way too much momentum, it doesn't respond quickly to my inputs, so it's often turning the wrong way. The music doesn't add anything, and I think for the "Web" URL you should put "Web (Flash)" so people know it requires a non-standard plugin.

nseward 2013-04-29 19:49

@lulzfish_4: The arrows don't change direction of motion. They change the direction of the applied torque. You have to plan ahead and cope with the momentum. You are right. I could have made much better music. I was going for strange and offbeat. I guess I succeeded.

I changed "Web" to "Web (Flash)". Good suggestion.

lanz 2013-04-29 20:10

Wow! Great game! Interesting mechanics and idea with blind gears. Great job!

fullmontis 2013-04-30 17:03

This is great! Really nice mechanics, very addictive!

toastation 2013-04-30 17:05

Great game :)

smilingcat 2013-04-30 17:15

Pretty interesting. Took me a moment to figure out the travel path was set. I like the music, good use of sampling.

hegemege 2013-04-30 17:21

Great game, couldn't get past level 10 (I mean srsly, a second pit after the first one? >.>)

I was kindof waiting for the level where you need to lower your momentum enough to hit the center, glad you added that in (twice)

messiano 2013-05-01 05:37

Loved the feel, mood, graphics and physics, it feels very polished! Congratulations!

switchbreak 2013-05-01 05:39

Nice idea, it actually took me quite a while to figure out what I was controlling and how it worked. Once it clicked though, I got a kick out of it.

monxcleyrproductions 2013-05-01 06:52

Simple but clever mechanics, it was a lot of fun to try and guess the path and succeed (or fail miserably). Good job!

cmayhem 2013-05-01 14:38

Very fun, great idea!

casino-jack 2013-05-01 17:13

Took me a little while to figure out how to control it, but great fun when I did.

stqn 2013-05-02 02:21

Pretty good and fun. Only the last level was annoying, it took ages to climb that ramp! And I'm glad I didn't fall in the wrong one afterwards! The music loop is cool but too short, it got annoying after a while too. And of course I would have loved a non-white background.

degtyarev 2013-05-02 11:13

Nice game. Was fun to complete all levels.

snoringfrog 2013-05-02 20:32

Is it even possible to get 3 stars (or 1, for that matter), on level 10? I couldn't even get my score under 30 seconds. Other than that, I really enjoyed the game. Interesting idea, although it mostly involved just doing the level slowly once to learn how to do it quickly. Getting 3 stars was crazy challenging though, and due to not having much time I just contented myself with 1 per level.

sampotasz 2013-05-03 20:53

REALLY novel idea! I quite like it :) The controls are pretty tough to master, but it's a really fun game. Nicely done!

jlauener 2013-05-04 15:29

At the beginning I though the level selection screen was the game. Stupid me I didn't even tried to click a gear lol :/

Nice game with very original motion. The scratchy soundtrack kind of worked for me.

oatsbarley 2013-05-05 16:07

Cute idea and I love the music!

kill0u 2013-05-08 12:56

Cool game, but hard to control :P

ethankennerly 2013-05-12 18:01

Rolling the orange gear to the blue gear interested me. If you continue to develop this, I did not understand the physics forces that were determining the path.

ovenchips 2013-05-12 23:00

Fun fun fun! Great structure and polish to this game - it's really hard to fault. Challenging enough in places to be compulsive but not overly frustrating. One of my favourites.

stmatn 2013-05-20 19:52

Very cool mechanics! It was fun to play, but I would like to know, what your record on the last level is, since 12 seconds seem really hard. Nice game!
