ABOUT CRAZY GEARS
Explore a captivating digital playground in this tantalizing puzzle game! Children manipulate gears, chains, rods, and pulleys, to pull themselves through each level, which teaches them how different mechanisms affect one another when constructing a machine. Each reasoning challenge was carefully designed to adhere to the theories of educational technology pioneer, mathematician, computer scientist, and designer of the first programming language for children, Seymour Papert.

“The best use of games is to leverage their tendency to enhance learning”- Papert
Recommended Ages 5-9 

As a child, Papert fell in love with gears. Their movement fascinated him in every way and inspired his career. Crazy Gears was conceived not only as a tribute to him, but with the hope of providing a child with the inspiration to discover and understand the physical properties of mechanisms found in their everyday lives. Such complex notions include tension, motion, and gravity. We achieve this by encouraging the child to manipulate the objects in each level to determine how they work together to accomplish a goal.  Interactions with technology give kids the power to construct their understanding of STEM/STEAM subjects in meaningful ways. Here we engage them in play that does just that!

## Review summary

Users praise Crazy Gears as a brain-boosting, kid-friendly puzzle game with no ads, great visuals, and engaging problem-solving. It’s appreciated for educational value and family-friendly appeal. However, stability issues are a recurring downside, with multiple reports of glitches and crashes. Additionally, the late-game sections are extremely difficult, and overall difficulty can feel inconsistent (easy in some puzzles, very hard in others). Overall, families enjoy it but would benefit from bug fixes and better level balancing.

### Pros

- Kid-friendly and engaging for children across ages
- Ad-free experience
- Nice graphics and sound design

### Cons

- Frequent glitches, errors, and crashes that affect gameplay
- Late-game levels (around 50–60) are extremely hard and can block progress
- Difficulty feels inconsistent across levels (some puzzles seem too easy while others are very challenging)
