Neat little platformer, good level design as well. Controls were a little bit fiddly at times but not too bad.
At first I thought it was a very simple entry, but was then delighted to see that there was more to it! cool, novel idea.
Also love the style of the whole thing, the sounds and claymation-ey graphics have loads of charm!
Is there any reward for getting all the cogs? I tried it again to see if I could get them all but must have missed one somewhere.
I was a bit confused at first whether I needed all the golden wheels, but apparently not. The score in the end is a nice way to encourage the player to play again and find all the wheels. I played again and I really thought I found all of them, one in each level, but somehow I got only 8 of 9. :thinking:
Overall, well done! :smile: :thumbsup:
Using the same levels for multiple different characters is an awesome idea that deserves to be explored further and more often! The game wasn't much difficult, but the wheel challenge was nice, the last human wheel was pretty interesting and way to reach it was pretty unexpected!
I'm not sure if the lo-fi cutscene matches well with the levels artstyle, but both were really interesting artstyles. Also kudos for the characters and animations, that must've taken a lot of work in such a small amount of time!
Overall very solid game, plays nicely, works well, very good job!
