Cluckwork

Wind the key, and the whole henhouse comes to life. Cluckwork is a clockwork-themed arcade platformer — a loving nod to the ladder-climbing classics, built entirely from scratch. You are the Poultry Keeper, a little wind-up automaton with one job: gather every golden egg from the gantries before the clock runs down, while a flock of clockwork birds does its best to stop you. HOW TO PLAY • Run and climb the gear-rack ladders to reach every egg. • Clear all the eggs on a level to move up to the next poultry house. • Scatter a handful of seed to stop a hungry hen in its tracks. • Ride the lifts, duck into a top-ladder refuge, and always mind the clock. CONTROLS To move your character, use the virtual joystick in the bottom left of the screen and to jump, press in the bottom right. Can be played with a mechanical keyboard where the arrow keys move and the space bar jumps. MIND THE FLOCK • Chickens patrol the gantries — quick, and relentless. • Roosters stand too tall to jump; once one has pecked some seed, it'll spit it straight back at you. • The caged goose is set loose on a timer — and then it comes hunting. FEATURES • Eight hand-tuned levels that loop and escalate — faster and meaner each time around. • A gorgeous brass-and-verdigris clockwork world, every sprite hand-drawn in code. • A local high-score table — chase your best, no account needed. • Play with a keyboard or with touch. • No ads. No in-app purchases. No sign-in. Just you, the eggs, and the birds. Native on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
