Player

The player is the Characters protagonist of Geared. The player is often described as a small little guy out all alone in the woods. The goal of the player is collect items, craft weapons, erect structures and slay bosses in order to survive and ultimately thrive. The player spawns initially only with a wood hammer and a town hall. The player may use the wood hammer to mine ores and gather various resources, such as wood or stone. The town hall can be placed as a safe spawn base and healing zone.

The player may be given any name (limited to 10 characters). The default name for a player is "Mingan". Mingan is a reference to Mingan Beyleveld, the lead developer at Mingan Games. It was previously weem, a reference to Epic Inventor that was created by Mike Wiemhold (nicknamed 'Weem').

Gameplay and controls
