Clockwork Cycles
No saving.
How to Play
Gain Time
When the clock is fully assembled, hold E on the crank to raise the weight. Wait until the crank stops on its own to fully wind the clock. Remove the crank to start the clock. When the weight hits the floor you enter Buy Mode.
Buy Mode
Look at the clock parts on the right side of the table to see their effects, press E to buy. Keep in mind, they don't take effect until you dismantle the clock and replace the old part.
The tools on the left side (crowbar, wrench, crank) unlock automation. Each level of the crowbar and wrench increase speed, most levels have special effects too.
Dismantling and rebuilding
When you dismantle the clock, you lose all unspent time, but it's the only way to improve the clock. It may make sense do a few runs without installing new parts, until you can get a new set effect.

Interesting game! It's really neat to see the intracite details of a clock in a 3D idle game! I did have an issue with running out of upgrades to buy and it wouldn't let me buy crowbar, crank or wrench upgrades that were in the 11 hour price ranges. It's also ended up with the maximum amount of time being around 12 hours 30 minutes or so, which ended up me having nothing to do and sitting in the dark. Also a save feature would be nice, ended up losing all my progress and having to restart. I would love to see this game developed more, I see this as a new big idle game, the 3D spin on it is fantastic! Thanks for the fun!
Is... is the clock supposed to explode?
No, sounds like a bug. I have a fix that should prevent it that I'll add later today.
