About Cogs

✦ AI summary

Build intricate machines by sliding puzzle tiles together across 50 levels and three distinct challenge modes. Master an expanding arsenal of mechanical widgets—gears, pipes, balloons, and more—while racing against the clock or rationing your moves to unlock increasingly complex contraptions.

Cogs is a puzzle game where players build machines from sliding tiles. Players can choose from 50 levels and 3 gameplay modes. New puzzles are unlocked by building contraptions quickly and efficiently.
  • Inventor Mode: Starting with simple puzzles, players are introduced to the widgets that are used to build machines — gears, pipes, balloons, chimes, hammers, wheels, props, and more.
  • Time Challenge Mode: If you finish a puzzle in Inventor Mode, it will be unlocked here. This time, it will take fewer moves to reach a solution, but you only have 30 seconds to find it.
  • Move Challenge Mode: Take your time and plan ahead. Every click counts when you only get ten moves to find a solution.

3D sliding tile puzzle game. I've never found "solving" these kinds of puzzles difficult, but trying to find the optimal path is much more challenging.

I naturally like solving puzzles, so this game is pretty fun. Word to the wise, the hint is always find the solution first then optimize after finding the solution. If you hate puzzles or feel like it's a waste of time then you'll hate this game.

Honestly an amazing little puzzle game. Great steampunk vibes and fun music. It's very satisfying to move things and solve the puzzle.
