Gear Works description

Spooky (in complexity and meaning of) a puzzle in which you need to connect the gear by inserting them in grooves in conditions of limited time.

It is happening so. There is a plane that is completely studded with red-white dots. It's the cogs. The edges of the screens – two large gears that we need to connect with a chain. By themselves, the gears drop out at random and overlaid on the cogs. Then randomly we missing a new gear – it is not necessary that the same shape and the same size as the previous one (there are only three kinds). It is necessary to try to allocate to at least one prong concerned the previous set. If this is not possible, the gear should still place somewhere on the plane.

If then it turns out that this "extra" gear prevents the construction of a single chain, it can be blow up by bombs (but the bombs are limited). The game consists of levels, each of which is much more difficult previous. And I remind you that the game is time limited.

But the most terrible – that at some point in your bringing beings (!) called "poffin" such small balls, which severely harm you: one of them eats the nuts, the other each movement reduces the already steadily declining time. Fortunately, you can kill them, and in several different ways.

As for the graphics, as in any puzzle, it is such that can not become obsolete, – a simple, but cute. However, whatever it was, it's not up to her. Because in front of us – without a doubt - one of the greatest puzzles of all time. The game is recommended to all fans of hardcore and strictly NOT recommended for the lovers of "casual" experience because the gear is serious.
