Interesting puzzle. Not clear for me what to do in the second level. I had a stone? that I can drag/drop anywhere of the screen but no other action I could do...

Clocks fixed! It'd help if there was some visual feedback after clicking the first gear while using the band, but it didn't get in the way of completing the puzzles. Lovely game!

I am literally learning gear mechanics through this delicate made game and great job as always! Love the zen mood here

Nooooooooo just as everything clicked the game ended. I was just about to show off my clockmaking skills.

Tbh I didn't quite understand how gears and bands necessarily affected each other. I blew by the tutorial a bit quick, and even then I don't think I absorbed the concept. Not too bad a problem though. I did a lot of different combos in the last stage before having an ah-ha moment and finished it. I must say that the victory after bashing my head against the stage felt very good and much more memorable than if I had just been guided to victory.

It's pretty clear the game is extensible and you put a lot of work into the various possible states of the clock. Although a little awkward when dragging things around, you protect against impossible locations due to the various positions. I feel like that probably took a long time to set up and debug.

Very interesting game in the end. I genuinely learned something new playing it and hope to use it.......somewhere in the future.

@gotanod @ani @foursay @peachtreeoath @asieke Thank you all for playing my game! I did not have much time the last few weeks to respond and play your games in return, but I have some time to do so today :)

All your feedback is greatly appreciated! I feel this was not one of my best games, so I am happy with all the feedback I can get :D

Lovely little game, I like almost everything about it, the look, the sound and also the idea! Its a bit short, more levels would be great, however, it feels like level building wasn't the easiest here :-)

The gameplay reminds me a bit of CrazyMachines. (in a very simple form)
