About the Game

Flywheel is a 2D action game where you race through the skies using jumps and flight.
Use the transformation device, the Flywheel, to dodge enemies and obstacles as you conquer ever-changing terrain with each run.
Pass through moving gates at just the right moment to trigger Overdrive, then blast forward at high speed and aim for the edge of the sky.

Story

The Flywheel System is an unknown technology discovered on the Moon.

By repurposing it, a Stargate connecting Earth and the Moon was created, making space travel increasingly common.

One day, the gates suddenly began to run out of control.

You are a maintenance worker tasked with repairing the malfunctioning gates.

Equipped with a compact Flywheel device, you set off toward the Moon, fixing the runaway gates along the way.

Flywheel

The Flywheel grants you the ability to fly, which can be activated or deactivated at any time.

Its duration is short, so quick and precise control is essential.

Landing or passing through gates will recharge your flight energy.

Overdrive

Passing perfectly through moving gates charges your Overdrive meter.

When activated, you become invincible and move at extreme speed—use it to rush straight toward the goal.

Extend

Clear stages to obtain a variety of upgrade devices called Extends.

Use them to enhance your abilities and perform increasingly stylish and dynamic actions.

Simple Controls

Only one action button and directional movement keys.

Easy to learn, hard to master.

Procedural Generation

Terrain and object placement are procedurally generated each run.

Victory depends on your skill, timing, and intuition.
