Switchgear is an endless system of rotating cogs where you spin around in an endless circle of rotating gears while participating in a hunt where you are both the hunter and the hunted at the same time. The aim of the game is to collect all the items that appear to beat your highest score, and unlock achievement cogs, whilst avoiding falling off the cog, being crushed between the cog teeth or caught by enemies whose purpose is to stop you. Collect power ups to help you stay one step ahead where every second counts.
