Thanks!
I've just noticed that leaderboards and medals are not working, maybe I'll try to fix them if I'll manage to find the time to do it. It's 5 years old, but it still holds a special place in my heart <3
So, funny story: I first played this a while ago and just now came back to it. Only today did I notice that I could jump. That made the game *so* much better. Without noticing that part, I'd been forcing myself to scale and descend every tower of gears. I found myself hoping that the machine would break down so I wouldn't have to deal with as much of it.
This time around, I could use the established structure as a tool for reaching the rest of the structure. Combined with the deepening music and the chaos magic's understated but steady increase in the background, it felt more like a willing contest.
...doomed, but willing. Very nice!
Interesting, looks simple but after a while it isn't :P
Excelent! It may seem simples, but I tihnk there's a great deal of art to it. Loved it!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I work as a programmer, so I'm very proud that you like the artsy side of the game :D
Interesting game! The story was unique and very well-executed, especially for such a short game. It also took me a playthrough to get used to the controls, but after getting used to them I found the gameplay to be smooth and enjoyable.
