* CantYouReadTheSign: Early on, you find Dr. Bolt's sign with
the PlayerCharacter."Absolutely no rolling or jumping!" message on it. Of course, Dr. Bolt is a villain, while rolling and jumping are Gizmo's main powers, so you proceed to gleefully ignore it.
** There is also one entrance with nothing but "GO AWAY" written above it.

Gizmo is a [=3D=] PlatformGame by Dane Winn and Alec Smith.

Many years ago, the entire human race was put to sleep, with the sole exception of the brilliant Dr. Bolt. In that time, he's built an army of robots to help him reconstruct the planet.

Thing is, they should have been finished long ago.

However, Dr. Bolt is confident that despite the setbacks, the project will be finished, and mankind will [=FINALLY=] be awakened. That's where Gizmo comes in. Gizmo must traverse Arctic Base 4, collect transmission beacons, and listen in on Dr. Bolt's broadcasts.

The game was released as a single level on December 5th, 2018.
