I got a 404 when I went to the itch URL ☹

Same as other commenters. Link broken.

I love the environment, very odd but the gameplay was kind of confusing. What is happening?

Link seems to be working now. I'm unsure if some UI elements were missing or not, as there were no explanations about goals, controls, or mechanics. It appears that the goal is to shoot incoming mechanical pieces with the mouse, while moving with WASD. The music is great, and a little bit sad/haunting. The graphics were also very good. The game could probably use a little polish in terms of feedback/info for the player.

The link seems to be fixed? I was able to download and play the game. The modelling is gorgeous, I love the little rotating clockwork enemies and the giant cogs in the stage. The game slows down a bit when I spawn the maximum number of enemies, especially when I start to destroy some of them. I somehow managed to get myself squished upwards and ended up running above everyone's head.

Interesting game. Looks like a sort of bullet hell that could be pretty fun if it was fleshed out. I was expecting to beat all the enemies on the first platform and fall to a new one with different enemies but I think they just keep respawning. Some more enemies, a health system, and some more weapons and stuff would make this pretty fun.

I really like the graphics! Very mesmerizing, but you are just stuck in the game and can't end it or progress o.o. Anyways I even got stuck going into the main menu. Nice attempt, keep working on your craft!

I like the overall aesthetic with the clockwork theme, could have used a little more response on player actions. Great effort!

This is a good game! Visually is fantastic and the animations are so cool, but the game lacks on feedback and some understanding of what to do, it looks like i'm doing the same things forever, maybe some enemy that explodes and kills you for example would change my actions and do a different movement, overall it is a ver well done game. Congrats!

PD: I laughed so hard when i discovered the dancing.. Great job on this hehe 😆

Love the graphics and tone and mood to the game, I could see this becoming a full game with some more polish. the interpretation of the theme was really good/nice and the level design was phenomenal, with all the gears, I also loved how the bullets would stay floating around. Looked beautiful. The gameplay is also good, but I think if you added one more element to it, that would make the game more unique, interesting, and overall, better, maybe something pertaining to clocks and/or time and/or gears. Anyway, excellent job! And great luck with/on your game!

The music here is solid, and the art style in the cutscene is great. The actual gameplay feels a bit lacking, like i am just running around shooting but there doesn't seem to be much danger. I find it odd that bullets seem to spawn from the center of the character rather than the tip of the gun. Overall I think it has potential but just needs some more polish.
