Clock Mines

Time is ticking... or is it?

In this gloomy timer-based platformer, you continue the journey of Emit from Clock Island to find a way through the abandoned mines below the base of the clock tower.

Even though Clock Mines directly follows the story of its previous installment, it is not necessary to have played the predecessor. This game works fully as a standalone.

Story

After reaching the entrance of the old mines, Emit realizes that despite the shafts being abandoned, the lights and machines are still powered. Some of these machines are useful and help him make his way through the mines. Others, however, stand in his way, preventing him from fulfilling his destiny and saving the villagers of Clock Island.

Gameplay

In this game, every mechanical obstacle is powered by the Clock tower. However, a malfunction is causing it to periodically loose energy. As soon as the pointer of Emit's pocket watch reaches the red zone, every machine turns off for 2 seconds. When the pointer enters the white area again, the machines will run for another 10 seconds.

It is crucial to always have an eye on the dial, because the recurring shutdown determines the flow and pacing of the game. Sometimes you have to slow down and sometimes speed up to fit your jumps in time. This special mechanic makes the game a particularly challenging yet engaging experience.
