Shift gears as the river shifts. OVERSHOT is a free browser incremental made for GitHub Game Off 2026: run a water mill with 5 machines on one shaft through the seasons, and buy the freehold. How it plays One water wheel turns one line shaft. Every machine on it has its own gearbox and a speed band, the green arc on its dial. Hold the band. Inside it a machine works. Under it, it drags.
Over it, it races, wears and breaks. One shaft, shared. Every machine you put in gear slows the whole shaft, so a new machine can pull its neighbours under their bands. The clutch decides who runs. The river shifts. Autumn rain, a thin winter, a spring flood that races everything, a dry summer that drags it all. A spate is forecast a day ahead. Water through time.
A mill pond stores the flood for the drought, and the sluice sets how much reaches the wheel. The year's work. Grain after the harvest, logs in winter, loom cloth after the shearing. Millstones, a saw frame, fulling stocks, a trip hammer and a paper beater, each with its own band. Rent is due every quarter day, and it rises each year.
