This game is pretty neat!
It's very funny. Good job!
Very original, and very polished!
I'm completely unmusical but I was able to play around and enjoy myself making a little racket.
How might it be adapted to work on touchscreens e.g. ipads?
(Was able to interlock gears in such a fashion that they ought to have locked up if they'd been real)
Couldn't figure out how to slow it down to match the challenge beat. Awesome idea, though!
It's original, it's addicting for me. What engine do you use? Can you make it for another platform such as Android? Thanks.
Really cool idea, I loved the system and I had fun messing around in it but I got stuck on level 5 ><
Interesting idea! Had some trouble getting around the the first challenge then went into freestyle where it seem to really shine.
Looks very polished. Good job!
Weird sounds, and I could not figure out how to slow down, all gears no matter size seem to be giving same rate of beats :-(
oh, k I just missed the point that they can be stacked. Nice!
Very nice entry. I had a lot of fun with this. It could use some more instruments for a larger variety of sounds.

I didn't use an engine for this one, just plain HTML5 and Dart. I think I'll have to rewrite a lot of the code anyway, so I should probably switch to a cross-platform framework... Thanks for the hint, I'll look into it! :)
Innovation: This was a pretty cool concept! It was a little tricky to understand the gear ratio mechanics at first. I think most people's first instinct would be to try connecting small and large gears in series to affect the rate, instead of stacking differently-sized gears.
Fun: I feel like adding a bigger variety of instruments would have made things a lot more fun!
Theme: You did really well here! Definitely fit the theme, and your intro page helped tie it all together.
Graphics: Simple but it worked! I think it could be much better if you looked into some animations or particle effects to play whenever a sound is made.
Audio: As mentioned before, I think having some melodic instruments or other more interesting sounds would be pretty simple and would add a lot here! Also, the harp-like instrument was difficult to hear on laptop speakers. (I know, I know, I should be using my headphones)
Humor: N/A
Mood: I feel like your game was pretty minimalistic in terms of mood and theming. For a game jam I think this works well but to expand upon it it would be nice to have some backgrounds.
Overall: Pretty good job for an LD! I feel like being able to make more interesting sounds would add a lot here!
Congrats on finishing another game! I'd really appreciate it if you could leave some feedback on mine as well. You can find it at http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-36/?action=preview&uid=7285
Really nice game, congratz!
I did to the lvl 5, after I stoped.
