This game has genuinely fun mechanics but I'm afraid I might have softlocked myself with my own skill issue - I know what I'm supposed to do in the spinning gears puzzle of Night Dome's F3, spinning them from right to left, but I have strained my wrist trying to move fast enough to keep all three spinning at once. Is there some hidden technique I'm simply missing, or is this just something I'll have to keep brute-forcing?
Ah, I'm sorry to hear that...
Lowering the difficulty will make these gear puzzles easier. You can lower the difficulty to 0.5, clear the puzzle, then raise it back to 1 if you'd like.
If you look at the keybinds in the settings menu, you'll see keys corresponding to the "Spin up" and "Spin down" actions. These keys can be used instead of the mouse wheel (or even in combination with the mouse wheel if you want to make it even easier).
The sign at the first gear puzzle does mention this, but I'll be adding hint events to re explain this at every gear puzzle if needed.
Sorry again, and I hope this helps!
