the crank is WORKING but my brain is MELTING
This review is for the Playdate version

The concept of this game works perfectly with the crank, it's a really nice puzzle idea ! BUT I'm glad a friend helped me finish some levels since my reaction time is not the best.

Having to compute if the eye is gonna turn clockwise or counterclockwise never really gets natural, making it hard to enter a sort of flow in this game. The difficulty really comes from this rather than actual puzzling around, but the levels are still nice to beat.

The final bosses of the levels are pretty funky too, making them satisfying to beat ! One of them asks you to dock the crank though, an action that was not necessary during the whole gameplay, making it really difficult to think through.

Overall a fun experience that I would recommend, even more since it's part of the games you get by default when you buy a Playdate !

ed.corcoran's review of Omaze

Fun for a while but then gets too frantic for my tastes.
