A minimalist physics puzzle game. Kind of charming Main criticism: the physic was feeling to much non-deterministic.. which lead to some tedious trial and error situations in which I had to blame the game. '^^ But still.. It's a bit tedious but when you solve the level nonetheless.. it feels awesome ;)

Inside The Gear tries to deliver a physics-based puzzle experience, but unfortunately, it falls flat in several key areas. The sound design is grating and often detracts from the gameplay, making it hard to stay engaged for long sessions. The biggest issue, however, is the physics. They’re not just unrealistic—they’re downright frustrating. The controls feel imprecise, and solving puzzles becomes more of a battle with the game’s mechanics than a test of logic. Instead of feeling rewarding, the challenges often feel unfair, making the game difficult to enjoy. Overall, Inside The Gear struggles to deliver on its promise, resulting in a frustrating experience that’s hard to recommend.
