March 2025
I think the price of this game should mean that most people will get enough out of it to be a worthwhile purchase. The game plays really well, with well-thought-through level design the complements the available [incredibly simple] mechanics very well. Is there a ridiculous difficulty spike in Mercury? Yes. I decided I didn't want to grind that out, at least not on a Twitch stream. Maybe I'm too old, maybe the game's too hard, maybe I'm just bad. I don't really know. But I'm not bitter about having bought the game despite this. The preceding eight chapters are really good fun and do a great job of refining the player's skills. That is until the game takes them outside and gives them a good kicking to remind them who's boss. Go into it knowing the above then I think it can be an enjoyable, un-salty experience.

This game is really getting slept on, the fact that in 10 minutes of practice I was able to get number 9 in the world on the Sun time trial makes me a little sad. I did a run of the second to last planet and did horribly, took me 12 minutes, and I still got 12th in the world. This is genuinely one of the most simple and fun speed games I've ever played, and it really takes me back to the Newgrounds days, reminding me a lot of games like N+, Celeste, and Super Meatboy (yes I know Super Meatboy has a Flywrench reference). The music is also fits the atmosphere perfectly. I'm not sure how this game could really be improved upon due to how simple the concept is, but if a sequel came out I think I'd have to buy it day one, it's just such a beautiful game.

This game feels amazing to play. Once you get past the first few levels and start grasping the controls, you start to enter a trance-like state that is very rewarding. The immediate death resets, fast pace, and carefully progressive challenge create an addictive loop of rewarding game play. It feels a lot like Hotline Miami, where you can do the same thing 100 times, slowly inching towards your goal each time, until you finally achieve it and get a huge rush of euphoria. The only problem this game has is the abrupt difficulty jump in the penultimate world, Mercury. it feels as thought 2 or 3 worlds were missing before it to build up player skill and game feel, and you're left floundering. For a game that is completely lucid during the previous 7 worlds, it can really leave a sour taste in a player's mouth at the end. combine that with the fact every level must be beaten in order to finish the game, and i'd imagine most people give up/switch to easy mode to complete the campaign. Even with such a strong difficulty spike, this game is a blast to play and will consume you for a couple hours at the very least. Highly recommended.

Flywrench is so simple; but extremely well executed with great sound and a solid theme. The gameplay is challenging but fun, and easy to pick up on. Great game, well priced.

Flywrench, overall, is a very fun and pleasant game. Up until Mercury. I love the art choices, adore the music, and generally appreciate the loose story surrounding it. The game really deserves more love. However. Reaching Mercury after returning to the game and playing through each planet in under an hour total, I was mortified to find how wretched it was in every regard. Mercury highlights many major flaws in the game's engine and physics system, and each level would take over an hour to properly finish until I had gotten through each one. Up to this point, each death had felt fair, deserved, and entirely my fault. After Mercury, I had myself genuinely questioning if this game was intended to be RAGE BAIT. A number of levels on the planet effectively boiled down to luck on your timing, praying the physics wouldn't jank out and send you flying into a wall at mach 3, or just Being Lucky with your frames. It was just pure garbage level design on some levels, effectively just repeatedly dying to a randomly placed obstacle that was likely only put in to artificially elevate the difficulty of the final proper gate. Despite my pure loathing for this section of the game, I still overall give it glowing regards and strongly suggest it to anyone willing to set aside a couple hours. It was very entertaining and borderline enthralling at some sections. I almost hope a sequel is made, though given it's been over a decade, I strongly doubt it will ever happen.
