About Bells 'n' Whistles
Bells 'n' Whistles is a punishing point-and-click game that tests your ability to multitask. The goal of each level is simple: Prevent a machine from breaking down. Each machine has a unique requirement you must meet in order to shut it off successfully. Failing to maintain the machines many systems before it is shut down results in a game over. Are you up to the task?
WARNING: This game is made to be challenging. Some levels are rigorously difficult to complete, but most are beatable. I say "most" because I have reserved a section of levels called "Insane" levels. Unlike all other level difficulties, these levels will not be tested to see if they are able to be beaten. You have been warned.
Note: This game is best played with a mouse
Oh, you want a longer description? Fine, here's a list of features:
So what are you waiting for? A totally relaxing and not at all rage inducing experience awaits...

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
"Bells 'n' Whistles" is an ultra simple platespinner non-game... basically a Fischer-Price activity set where you have to interact with all the things at the same time. Called a platespinner because it's like the daft circus act where the clown spins a bunch of plates on poles and needs to keep running between them to keep them going. This is the video game version of that, and it's every bit as awful and pointless as you could imagine. The developers abandoned this 5 years and 11 months ago. It will never be completed. This unfinished game is just polluting Steam and making it harder for gamers to find genuinely, completely made games. For gameplay purposes, because the user interface for this game is mostly just 2D static text/images... it might as well be a web page. It's functionally no different from a browser game. And we all know, Steam isn't here to compete with Chrome and Firefox. If the game can be done in a web browser, it's just not rich or compelling enough to appeal to serious gamers on PC. The graphics here are particularly awful, minimalist flash like controls and basically nothing else... as little effort as possible went into this, so bad that it actuall…1 found this helpful

Игра Bells 'n' Whistles оказалась неожиданно увлекательной! Простой, но затягивающий геймплей в стиле match-3 с оригинальной изюминкой в виде колокольчиков и свистков держит в напряжении. Цветовая гамма приятна для глаз, а звуковое сопровождение совсем не раздражает, а наоборот, добавляет очарования. По мере прохождения уровни становятся все сложнее, что заставляет продумывать каждый ход. Несмотря на кажущуюся простоту, игра предлагает достаточно стратегических возможностей. Нужно не просто составлять комбинации, а учитывать расположение специальных элементов, чтобы получить максимальный эффект. Единственным небольшим минусом я бы назвал отсутствие какой-либо сюжетной линии, но это с лихвой компенсируется динамичным геймплеем и большим количеством уровней. Отличный выбор для тех, кто хочет скоротать время с пользой для ума! Рекомендую!
[h1]Before I played Bells 'n' Whistles, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
