Dimensional Gears is a 2.5D puzzle platforming game that takes place in a dystopian steam-punk future where household appliances are the only sentient beings left. You play as Mike O. Wave the lovable microwave. You and your friends are stuck in an abandoned factory and must use Mike’s supernatural ability to shift dimensions in order to escape. Make the most of this strange power to explore a dangerous 2.5D environment within a shifting, orthographic plane to escape the factory.
