This mod removes the gearfly's attack cooldown, making it extremely powerful
Gearless fly cooling
🚀 From annoying bugs to aerial strike drones
Typically, a gear fly pecks at its enemy like a lazy mosquito—buzzing over, taking a bite, and then flying back. It's really cute, doing a little DPS here and a little scraping damage there.
But no cooldown? Oh no! Now the Gearfly is no longer attacking - it's **suppressing** the enemy. Imagine a living minigun attached to your shoulder, firing so relentlessly that enemies don't even have a chance to perform their attack animations.
- The leader? More like **target practice**
- Hordes of mobs? are reduced to organic colored paper before they cross the screen
The game goes from "action-adventure" to "right-click to make the gearfly commit war crimes."

⚖️ Balance has exited the chat
The developers spent months fine-tuning the numbers: DPS, enemy health, invincibility frames. Then the mod showed up like a toddler with a sledgehammer and announced:
- Boss battle stage? delete
- Enemy mechanics? Cancel
- Difficulty curve? Flattened like a pancake
You are no longer playing a game. You're watching the rise of a single insect army.

🏆 The Rise of Gearfly Metagame
Players started whispering: *"Why are you swinging your weapons? Just let the Gearflies take care of it."* Soon, the racing scores turned into people standing still with their arms crossed while their Gearflies reduced everything to ash in seconds. The entire speedrunning category died overnight.
The patch notes start looking like this:
- **Nerf: Gearfly now apologizes after every kill**
- **Bug Fix: Fixed an issue where Gearflies could single out the final boss while the player was away making sandwiches**
But the truth is, no nerf can limit a minion that has no cooldown. This isn’t just a disruption of balance—it’s sublimation.

🎯 Conclusion: The real protagonist
By removing the gearfly's attack cooldown, this mod does more than make the game unbalanced. It rewrites gaming lore. The "hero" is no longer you - it's the gearfly. You are merely the vessel, the walking backpack that carries the true protagonist.
So yes, this mod makes the Gearfly extremely powerful. But maybe, just maybe...the gearfly deserves it.
