Cogs

Cogs has to be a Humble Bundle purchase, I can think of no other reason for it to be in my library. This one is a puzzle solving exercise, and a damned well built one too I might add.

The game is a series of mechanical puzzles, moving gears and piping to direct steam or mechanical energy to drive a mechanism; think the hacking games in Bioshock, but only the hacking games. A frame of movable tiles with on empty space, rearrange to make a mechanical connection, sometimes requiring multiple sides to be solved.

Bioshock never made a Jack in the Box, not once!
It's a very nice looking game, some if the puzzles are quite complex, and the solution usually results in a nice little animation.

I'm going 8/10 on this one, it's fun and makes you think, although people with spatial orientation issues may find it as pleasurable as masturbating with sandpaper, no amount of effort will ever leave you satisfied.
