Made for GMTK Game Jam 2026 !
CONTROLS ! 🐭🔧
| HOLD [SPACEBAR] to JUMP (letting go of the spacebar stops the jump early) | [A] and [D] to MOVE Left or Right ! |
|---|---|
| HOLD Jump BEFORE (and during!) the ledge-grab animation to do a ledge-jump ! -> (DON'T TRY TO TIME IT ! Just hold JUMP !) | [S] to fall down faster! -> (also DISABLES ledge-grabbing) |
| Press [LEFT CLICK] near a highlighted cog to repair it ! | Press [SHIFT] to do a short Dash ! (works in the air too!) |
| [TAB] to pause ! |
🎮 Controller ver.
| HOLD [A] to JUMP (letting go of the [A] stops the jump early) | [LSTICK] to MOVE Left or Right! |
| HOLD [A] BEFORE (and during!) the ledge-grab animation to do a ledge-jump ! -> (DON'T TRY TO TIME IT ! Just hold JUMP !) | [LSTICK] [DOWN] to fall down faster!
(also disables ledge-grabbing) LStick [UP] if your jump is suddenly bugged when using a controller! |
| Press [X] (or square) near a highlighted cog to repair it! | Press [B] to do a short Dash ! (works in the air too!) |
----------------------------------------------
The entire building is linked to a countdown, the clock ticks as the music advances (and as the count gets lower)
Fix all the gears to unlock the exit hatch !
(or just survive until the end of the countdown depending on the level :>)
Also i swear that the clock inside the bonus level "Pien" isn't rigged to spin towards your direction, it's only a 1/3 chance of going backwards each tick in the code i swear that it's not annoying on purpose 😭😭😭
(downloadable builds are untested and might be glitchy, stick to the web version!)
(no working linux build i'm really sorry, realised i exported the wrong files and there's just the game project instead of the game itself in the linux upload)
---------------------------------------
YAHOOOO IT'S-A-ME! 144p MARIO ! DON'T-A FORGET TO EAT AND DRINK WHEN WORKING !
SLEEP IS-A VERY IMPORTANT AS WELL !
GOOD-A LUCK FOR THE JAM WAHOO

Fun plataforming, but performace tanked hard on browser.
I think the idea is really great the ledge jumping is a little janky tough and at first hard to understand how it works but it's still pretty good I really like the art tough and what is a MAJ key?
Okay i may or may not have forgotten that the SHIFT key has different names in different languages -_-
(MAJ is the French equivalent of SHIFT basically 😭)
Basically i meant to write Shift instead of Maj, my apologies x)
okay hey could you also give my entry a try?
Good good, btw there is a bug that when you fixing gear and clock is touching you, player is not getting any dmg
Oh that's a very good find, if you time it perfectly you can actually dodge the clock when fixing a cog yeah !
Thanks for telling me ! I appreciate it ^^
pretty great game and sensational idea but its kinda unpolished.
also am i dumb or the dash does not work?
I temporarily made it so the Dash with [Shift] gets disabled when close to a wall, it's a temporary fix (since the game had to be made in 4 days for the Gmtk gamejam) that i will take care of once the jam ends ^v^
That's probably why it feels like it doesn't work at times!
I do plan to polish it further after the Gmtk game jam 2026 ends !
The stuff in the current build of the game is really unfinished, so naturally it feels pretty unpolished ^v^
Very good, I would just make the camera changes move gradually instead of snapping so it isnt that disorienting, other than that the game feels very crunchy and nice
Oh actually thanks for pointing that out! I went ahead and fixed pretty much any snapping issues with the camera during the the cutscene transitions and that first platforming part near the start of the game.
Wouldn't have thought about it before, but it does feel way better now that the camera doesn't randomly teleport when going in certain spots! Thanks for the feedback ^v^
No problem, thats what we are here for :D would love if people could teat my game put a bit too
I'm sorry for being stupid. but how do I interact with the gear?
Oh maybe i should have added instructions for this ! Thanks for asking !
Left Clicking/Pressing X / □ (on controllers) is how you interact with gears! Only works with those that get highlighted (as you get close to them)
I'll add a prompt next to the first cog in the game asap ^v^
turns out I thought the level cogwheel is movable at first place. Now I found the entrance. Fantastic game btw
Thanks a ton ^v^ i appreciate it :D
this is great
this is very good
wait this is kinda good actually
thanks mario 🙇♀️
