A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Over the Gear is a cute game about jumping gear teeth.

You're a guy named Cog, and you fell into a clock or a factory, somehow (I'm as clueless about the story as you are), and now you have to avoid your impending doom by not touching the gear's teeth. As you progress, you meet cool friends as Cog traverses wherever he is. This will not be explained in-game in any way, shape, or form.

Get some exercise, look at cool colours, die and die some more.

You'll jump, jump, jump, and jump some more. If anybody dislikes jumping, this game will save your life.

Fun fact: the coin thingy has a "15% chance" to have knockback, and this is definitely a feature and not a bug. Why would a game have bugs anyways?

Tip: It's Spacebar to jump.
