Wheely
Recommended for the controller, but can be played with a mouse and keyboard as well. (Keep in mind when we say controller, we mean original ones, not cheap knock-offs)
You’re a wheel… Well, actually you’re a small gear robot who attaches to wheels! Traverse from room to room and unlock doors, but here’s the kicker, you control the robot by rotating your mouse or joystick in the direction you want to move.
Each level has a key and a door, collect the key to unlock the door and pass to the next level.
To get the key you can attach yourself to different wheels to gain either speed or special abilities such as wall climbing! Gears are also placed throughout some levels to which you can attach yourself and move platforms and help you arrange the path towards your goal.
This is an early demo of the mechanics for our new game that we want to make in the next few months. Currently, we have the core mechanics down:
- Movement by rotating your mouse or joystick
- Jumping
- Attaching to wheels and gears
- Moving platforms while attached to gears
- Regular wheel attachment for movement
- Spikey Wheel for rolling on vertical surfaces
The game has 5 levels and we would greatly appreciate your feedback on how challenging the mechanics were and if you would play a completed game with art, lore, and a lot more interesting puzzles and special wheels.

make controls easier
I really like the game, it's addictive. I enjoy the length of the levels. I just wish it was available on mobile phones.
Thanks for the positive feedback! We're glad you find the game addictive and enjoy the levels. We will definitely consider making it available for playing on the go in future updates.
The game is amazing! It's 10 times easier to play with a mouse than with a controller. I struggled to find the key on a few levels, so additional hints would be helpful. As for the Spiky Wheel, it took me some time to realize that I could hang with it. I initially thought its purpose was to stop my rotation when activated. Overall, I would definitely play more of this. I got frustrated and my hands got sore, but that challenge is what kept me going. In that sense, it reminds me of Geometry Dash.
We're delighted to hear that you had a positive experience playing our game! Your kind words encourage us to continue creating more content and enhancing the gameplay. Thank you for your support! As for the spiky wheel, we will consider that for future updates.
The game is excellent, interesting, stressful, and challenging. It might be difficult for those who are not familiar with playing with a controller. I would definitely play it more if it had more levels, but preferably with keyboard and mouse controls as I'm more comfortable with them. Adding multiplayer like Fireboy and Watergirl would be a great addition.
Thank you for your feedback! You can actually play with a mouse and keyboard already! Try it again and let us know how you enjoyed it! Multiplayer sounds fun, we will consider it for future brainstorming sessions :)
A very interesting, challenging, and difficult game. The longer I play, the more I desire to keep playing. The controls are excellent, and the speed is impressive. I would love it if there was a ranking system. The only thing I would change is to have a two-level jump instead of charging it, strong and weak, without anything in between. I would even play if there were 100 levels.
We're overjoyed to receive such positive feedback! It's incredibly rewarding to know that you found the game engaging and enjoyable. Expect new levels in the near future.
Fun and challenging game! The most frustrating game I have ever played, but I would like to play more anyways. It took me some time to discover the ability to pre-charge the jump. Personally, I would have preferred the option to use my dominant hand for movement, as it was somewhat difficult using my left hand. Additionally, having a bit of movement control while in mid-air would enhance the overall experience.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We totally get it—the game can be frustrating, but it's also oddly addictive, right? We'll definitely consider your suggestion about using your dominant hand and adding some mid-air movement for a better experience. Keep playing and having a blast!
