Tick, tock. Tick, tock.

The sound of rumbling clockwork surrounds you. Transient portals to other realities open nearby, releasing extradimensional mechanical monstrosities. All the while, the massive clock face beneath you ticks ever closer to 12...

Fear of Gears is a fast-paced roguelite adventure that takes place in a strange time loop. Made in just 72 hours for Ludum Dare 47!

This game is visually impressive and fun to play. Nice sound design and pleasant music complete the package. 

To point out flaws would be nitpicking, excellent job!
