</>What does Clockwork (Game Speed) do?
Some stretches of a run are waiting: rolling across an empty stretch of desert, watching a level bar creep up, waiting for the boss timer. Others are chaos you would love to slow down. Clockwork gives you a dial for both. Set Game Speed % and switch it on: 200 runs the whole run at double speed, 50 gives you slow motion to line up the perfect broadside, 500 is for the truly impatient. The mod only touches real gameplay - your pause menu, upgrade picks, artifact screens and the boss arrival camera all keep their normal timing, and the game's own pause still works. Switch it off and time snaps back to normal.
</>What is Clockwork (Game Speed)?
Some stretches of a Wanderburg run are waiting; others are chaos worth slowing down. Clockwork adds a Game Speed dial from 25% to 500% that only touches real gameplay, so pick screens and boss arrivals keep normal timing. It is a free mod from ProjectMods, the community-first PC mod manager for 400+ games across Unity, Unreal, and Godot, including Wobbly Life, Vampire Survivors and Cult of the Lamb.
</>Common questions about Clockwork (Game Speed)
What does Clockwork do in Wanderburg?
Clockwork is a game-speed dial for Wanderburg. Set Game Speed % to anything from 25 to 500 and switch it on: 200 runs the whole run at double speed, 50 gives you slow motion for lining up a perfect broadside, and 500 is for players who want the desert crossing over with. The mod only changes real gameplay. The pause menu, the upgrade and artifact pick screens, vehicle choices, trading, the game over screen and the boss arrival camera all keep the game's own timing, and the game's normal pause still works. Switch Clockwork off and time snaps straight back to normal.
Which parts of the game keep normal speed while Clockwork is on?
Anything that is not the run itself. Clockwork applies your Game Speed % only while Wanderburg is actually playing out a run, and it steps aside the moment a screen takes over: the pause menu, upgrade picks after a level-up, artifact and vehicle choices, the merchant, the game over screen and the cinematic camera when a biome boss arrives all run at the game's own pace. That means a 500% run does not turn your pick screens into a blur, and a 25% slow-motion run does not make menus crawl. As soon as you close the screen and the run resumes, your chosen speed picks up again.
Does slowing the game down with Clockwork change how much I earn?
No. Clockwork changes how fast time passes in Wanderburg, not what happens in it. Coins are worth the same experience, enemies drop the same rewards, and the run timer that decides when waves escalate and the boss arrives still counts the same amount of in-game time; it simply reaches those moments sooner at 200% or later at 50% in real-world minutes. Slow motion gives you more reaction time per in-game second, which is a genuine advantage in a messy fight, and fast-forward compresses the empty stretches. Neither changes what your castle earns, only how long you sit through it.
What are sensible Game Speed % settings for Clockwork?
Game Speed % runs from 25 to 500, where 100 is Wanderburg's normal speed. For most players, 150 to 200 is the sweet spot for the early game: villages come faster, level bars fill quicker and fights are still readable. Drop to 50 when a boss is on top of you and you want time to aim a ram or a broadside, and to 25 for a genuine slow-motion replay. Numbers above 300 are for the truly impatient and can make later waves hard to follow. You can change the value mid-run and the new speed kicks in straight away, no restart needed.
How does Clockwork pair with other Wanderburg mods?
Clockwork is the mod that makes every other Wanderburg mod quicker to enjoy. Run it at 200% alongside Fast Learner and the level bar practically sprints. Pair it with Ceasefire when you have frozen the clock to build a castle in peace and would rather not wait around at normal speed. Drop it to 50% and use the slow motion to practise a boss you keep losing to. Because Clockwork is a free-tier mod, it is also the easiest first pick if you want to see how ProjectMods handles a Wanderburg run before looking at the rest of the catalog.

System Requirements
What features does Clockwork (Game Speed) include?
- Runs gameplay at any speed from 25% to 500%, so a slow desert crossing can fly by at five times normal
- Slows the action right down to 50% or 25% when you want to line up a perfect broadside or watch a wave crumble
- Leaves the pause menu, upgrade and artifact picks, trading and game over screens at their normal timing
- Keeps the boss arrival camera moment untouched, so the intro plays out at the pace the game intended
- Snaps time back to normal the instant you toggle it off, mid-run or between runs
- Keeps your Steam leaderboards clean: any run played with this mod active is never posted to the global or friends boards
Best For
- Players short on time who want a full-length run to fit into a lunch break by running the quiet stretches at 300%
- Anyone farming late-run milestones who is tired of watching the level bar creep during empty stretches of map
- Clip makers who slow a giant wave wipe to 25% for a slow-motion highlight, then speed back up for the grind
- Learning players who drop to 50% during a new boss to actually read its attacks before they land
