PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X
Save the planet from invaders!

Ohh nice game, but the learning curve is way to fast, because the controls are a bit complicated, but good idea.
Yes, finished it! This game good do with a bit more tutorial. I could not get the hang of it, but pressing all buttons stressfully seems to help. I think the idea has more potential tho. Maybe if everything was more slow, it would be less random
Interesting idea and interpretation of the theme. The controls were a bit hard to pick up with the enemies flying in so quickly during the initial level.
Interesting ideea. Like the simpicity of the game, but is a little bit too easy.
Agree with other commentators - lovely looking game and innovative idea, but it seems easier to just spash qwe than to work out which cog to turn.
Very cool idea, I liked the abstract style and the mood.
Getting in my head which color turned which cog while watching one gate after the other rushing towards me was a bit overwhelming.
Spamming is indeed very successful and was my response after failing multiple times. I think, I would have preferred a slower pace for the gates and faster enemies, but it was still pretty fun.
interesting concept. an indicator for new enemy spawns would be nice. i also noticed that a lot of enemies die without player interaction.
I saved all the souls! A nice idea but I found that the best tactic was to just hit all the buttons quickly. Good visuals too!
I really love the audio.
It was pretty difficult to understand what to do at the beginning, but then I just ended up just mashing buttons. And it was quite fun. And I won!
Very nice idea. I liked this gameplay. In fact, the best way to play is to press the keys without other explanation. All mechanics are great and this mood is really oppresive. The music is too short - it breaks the ambiance. Thank you ++
Interesting entry, lovely art, but too easy! All you have to do to win is indeed to spam the buttons. With some tweaking this could achieve a very nice feeling though I think :)
Thank you all for feedback! We forbad ability to spam buttons and make enemies a little smarter in fixed build.
Also we added downloadable version special for Headmade.
The plus here is the art! I liked this concept (loved the logotype). Interesting gameplay, innovative idea! Good job!
The windows download is missing the data-folder required for running the game. I'll check back sometime in the future to see if it's fixed.
Love the mechanic and what you were able to do with it. With more time, balance, and polish, this could be awesome. The multiple cogs was a little difficult to deal with.
Interesting setting and the weapon sure was unconventional. I didn't really feel in control though, since there were so many different things to pay attention to. Passed by pretty much randomly pressing QWE.

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Very nice idea. I like the abstract look of it. The music and explosion sounds are actually creepy. It's too easy, though (just had to spam q-s-e). Maybe one cogwheel would be enough?
