Game Overview

Tick Tock Tinkerers is a fast-paced, cooperative multiplayer VR game where players take on the role of steampunk gnomes piloting floating balloon baskets inside the colossal gears of The Grand Machine—a massive clock tower on the verge of failure. With only five minutes before the bells ring, players must scramble to repair the intricate clockwork while fending off mischievous gremlins determined to sabotage their efforts.

Players must coordinate, grab scattered gears, and place them correctly before time runs out. But it’s not that simple—gravity is against them! Their balloons slowly sink, and the only way to stay afloat is to smack their imp assistant, who obediently pumps the bellows to keep them airborne. Meanwhile, grappling hooks allow for quick lateral movement, and a selection of weapons—including shotguns, flamethrowers, and turret guns—help deal with the relentless gremlin hordes.

The more repairs completed, the higher the team’s score. Fail to meet the minimum threshold, and The Grand Machine grinds to a halt, silencing the bells forever—and taking the players with it.

Key Features

🔹 Unique Co-op Gameplay – Work together to repair the machine while battling pesky gremlins. Coordination is key!
🔹 VR Motion & Tools – Hover using bellows-powered flight, grapple across the tower, and use extendable grabbers to manipulate gears.
🔹 Chaotic Enemy Interference – Gremlins don’t just attack; they taunt, sabotage, and build ridiculous contraptions to mess with you.
🔹 Diverse Weapons & Tools – Switch between repair tools and weapons like flamethrowers and turret guns on the fly.
🔹 High Replayability – Procedurally scattered gears, unpredictable gremlin behavior, and varying levels of machine decay ensure no two rounds are alike.
🔹 Score-Based Success – The more repairs completed before time runs out, the higher the team’s score—and the louder the bells ring!

What Players Are Saying (Forum Posts from “Players”)

🛠️ Thread: "Best Flight Strategies?"

GearGnome42: “STOP FORGETTING TO SMACK THE IMP. My team lost a round because our engineer just floated into the void while screaming. Smack the imp, keep the height, don’t die.”

🔥 Thread: "What’s the best weapon against gremlins?"

ClockworkKev: “Shotgun is king. Flamethrower is fun, but you will set yourself on fire. Turret gun is great if someone else is repairing, but if you solo it, good luck fixing anything.”

🃏 Thread: "Fun ways to mess with your teammates"

SprocketJockey: “If you grab someone’s grappling hook mid-air, they get yanked across the tower. Not saying you should do this in the middle of a repair... but I am also not not saying that.”

🎯 Thread: "Evil Gremlins & Their Shenanigans"

BellTollin: “Has anyone seen them build things? One time they made a tiny catapult and launched gears off the tower. I respect the hustle.”
