Gears of Gear

Published 2023-06-12


Ever wondered what being a space weapon engineer feels like?! Wonder no more and be one in Gears of Gear!!!

This isn't a game! It's a toy!! Make cool stuff happen with gears!

Controls are on the title-screen.
The different types of gears modify the behavior of the canon on the bottom half of the screen when they are connected and spinning. Having several gears of the same type does increase their effect.
You can access the trunk by pressing Z at the top of the screen.

This is about 40% of what I originally intended to do for p8jam2. But then life and bad organization happened and I had to improvise to get something somewhat finished.
I wanted to make a shmup and I'm still going to do it (probably) so consider this as a demo or a prototype or something!

Secret feature: press z, x, left and right at the same time (or just tab) and the current gear set will be replace by a randomly generated one!

Have fun!

edit: Made trunk more obvious, fixed a bug and added p8jam2 tag. :x
ecit2: fixed bugs with the random gear set generation.
edit3: just written two more sentences in the description for peeps who don't get what's happening. ;)
