the game is on speedrun.com https://www.speedrun.com/Crank
finally a link on itch.io that isn't a scam
This is a very fun game! I'm excited for the next iteration that's planned :D
coolm game, but the leaderboards are cheated
Is it inspired by the game Crank by FaeDine? The momentum bar is almost identical
I LOVE THE FAEDINE CRANK!!!!!!!!!!
Can you PLEASE add something so that I don't have to restart every time I open this game? I'm on web btw.
cool game, two things tho. first, I kinda expected SOMETHING to happen at the end. idk what, maybe you see outside. maybe you meet whatever deemon is staring you down throught the game, maybe you see a BIGGER crank with a LUDICROUS number implying you're there forever. maybe you see what the crank was powering all along. idk, some kind of reward for completion. Secondly, what were the matchboxes about? i assumed it had to do with a good/bad ending but then it came and nothing happened. did i miss their purpose or did they just not have one? anyways, gg, keep on gamedevin!
the mathces that you get when you buy the mysterious 100000 upgrade in the bottom of the machine is si in the skillcheck instead of being green lines there in one purple that is more OP.
ohhhh i bought it at the same time i got max skillcheck so i didnt connect them, ty!
Please make an endless mode. And when is the next update
It's so fun! Make an endless mode please, or at least try to do it.
Saw DangerouslyFunny play this and then gave it a go myself.
Such a fun little game!
Wait, you watch him too? Nice!
I know df but its not all about him
i am guessing the internet connection the downloaded version tries to make once the ending is reached is to submit to the leaderboards?
yeah it gets the top 1000 scores and if you want you can submit yours to the leaderboard
love the game, genuinely think you should update it with some new mechanics, ending, maybe a little lore and put it up on steam, really fun game
There are plans for a steam release once we complete the next version. We can't wait to share things with you once we have something more substantial.
Can you give us a rough estimate of when the next version will come out, please?
Yummy, can you please answer if there will be any updates or new mechanics for this game, lots of people are asking for an update pls respond.
Yummypotato and I are hard at work on the next iteration of crank. We want to take things to a whole new level. Hang in there and I promise we won't dissapoint!
ther is people doing it in seconds how which bugs are they using im curious
No clue how they're doing it. We wonder if it's some type of out of bounds or code exploit. I have the game up on speedrun.com but so far I'm the only one who's submitted a run. Best legit run that we know of was right around 10 minutes. I think there's still lots of optimizations left to be discovered.
26:39! Let's gooooooo. Defo some cheaters on the leaderboard though, ain't no way anyone managed it in under a few mins...
is there no save feature? I accidentally hit refresh, and now im back at the beginning :(
it was fun having next to no momentum loss, and being able to speed up just because of centrifical force, and DEAR LORD HOW MUCH OIL DID WE USE TO LOSSEN THAT CRANK.
i know, right
good game!!
bunch of hackers cheating your leaderboard lmao
i dkh
Straight Crankin' It.
Cool
So I tried getting it but I just fell thru the world and couldn't come back so don't try getting that thing close to the eyes
I found the one on the platform behind the wall with the crank, but there's another one on the ground over in the direction of the eyes.
Those are supposed to be impossible, really sorry about that!
I assume the red and white cigar boxes floating in the void are how they're displayed in the hud.
It's November y'all, we must resist the urge to crank it
Cranked it so good, I finished my crank session in 32 minutes! (On a serious note, that was fun, hope to see an endless mode and more from the dev(s)!)
something broke. not sure how. but my wasd is now inverted but i cant look up. i can look around but im glued to the floor eyes wis
I have the same problem don't even know how to fix it.
You just have to restart unfortunately.
:(
Awesome game design, but GOD do I Hate Quick Time events.
Also, anyone else feel like the eyes were getting closer if you weren't cranking it?
played for an hour. spent so much on all upgrades still had millions of coins and couldnt crack below 900K crank counter. not sure what the tactic is or if it bugs I have carpal tunnel
Thanks for playing and your feedback, there is a chance your gatcha upgrades are too weak, if you put too much money into the gatcha machine without increasing your gatcha luck it will increase the price of the gatcha machine too much.
must be what happened. I did not realize that gatcha luck gave me access to something i could not access otherwise.
Does this count as escape?
Did you find a box of chunghwa cigs? If so that was a little easter egg / secret upgrade, if not you have found an unintended way out, but you still need to find a way to trigger the escape screen to "escape"
Found out how! Jump from the table onto the gacha, then onto the crank. Then out of bounds.
Is the lighting broken for anyone else?
Weird I've never seen this before, did it just randomly get like this during the game?
No, It was this way from the start.
That image doesn't show it, but mouseover outlines still appeared, it was more playable than it looked.
was wondering if the music for this game is up anywhere i could listen?
💪🏿😠
the noise is going to kill me
Bad UX. It should be click/press to toggle crank lock-on, not holding down mouse button all the time.
To those who burn bright with the fire of competition, submit your best run at https://www.speedrun.com/Crank and make your mark on the early history of this game.
Was wondering where I can find a place to listen to the music from this game? Is it up on youtube or spotify?
I remastered the main soundtrack to be a bit higher quality and posted it to our youtube channel.
Hell yeah thanks dude
Loved the game seems like a bubbled up cutey made this game.
Nice Game! My arm hurts a little, but it was a short and fun game.
Congratulations on your run. We actually just managed to get approved for a page on speedrun.com If you ever fancy another go at your best time feel free to upload it at https://www.speedrun.com/Crank
Hurts my fingers, but has funny crank, this game is a 10/10 (snail approved)
This game being snail approved is helping keep motivation high!!!
Yuh, i js got that +10 moral apon approval.
how did it hurt your FINGERS???????? how did it not hurt your WRIST?
I have a track-pad, so i have to press my fingies down to move da crank
CRANK!
(That's the sound of my arm hurting after playing this game)
I love incremental games, and this game felt like a decent interpretation of the genre. I enjoyed the sense of progression, how physical it was, and how the automatization emerged organically from the system itself, rather than being just an upgrade that you can purchase. Game left me with an elevated heartbeat, curiosity about how the hell somebody managed to beat this game under 12 minutes, and ears bleeding from the cranking sound effect, which progressed from annoying to insufferable very quickly.
Nice job!
I LOVE it, I was hooked, beat the game in 45 minutes, you my friend...know how to make a person addicted.
Just did my 3rd play through of the day. I don't know if I can recover from this.
