Features & Capabilities

Cogs is a multi-award-winning puzzle game where players build increasingly complex machines using sliding tiles 3D. Originally launched in 2009, we completely remastered Cogs from the ground up in 2025 to look beautiful on modern phones and tablets.

"One of the highest quality puzzle games we've seen." – PocketGamer "The visual design and imagination of the game are stunning, with great attention to detail, and the sound effects are downright enticing." – Adrenaline Vault "A masterpiece visually, as well with the actual gameplay." – AppAdvice

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 tap counts when you only get ten moves to find a solution.

User Reviews

Players praise Cogs for engaging, brain‑teasing puzzles and a distinctive steampunk aesthetic, finding it addictive with good replay value. However, many reviews cite pricing/IAP concerns, a lack of restore purchases, and limited content relative to cost. A few report launch problems. Overall, strong concept and presentation, but value and stability are inconsistent.

Pros

Engaging, brain-stimulating puzzles that are consistently challenging.
Steampunk-inspired visuals, art, and sound that feel cohesive and polished.
Addictive gameplay with substantial free content and strong replay value.
Indie charm and a creative overall concept with cohesive vision.

Cons

Perceived paywall and in-app purchases gate many levels; the 'free' label is seen as misleading.
No reliable restore purchases option, causing frustration when re-downloading or changing devices.
Not enough content for the price; too few levels and limited replay value.
Occasional launcher issues or the game failing to open on some devices.

I bought this to help support the designer, since I am loving and playing all the archives of Uncrossy. I like these puzzle games, so I thought I’d purchase. My only beef is that I can’t get to all of the levels for the full price of the game. It takes me time and many moves to solve, sometimes days to solve one level I have to go back to. What I cannot do is go back in and play them fast enough or with fewer moves in order to get more stars to get to more levels. I’m stuck. I’m annoyed, but love the game. It’s a barrier I don’t appreciate in the game. Is there a cheat code or a way to unlock all the levels no matter the stars?
