Cogs! Sandbox & Puzzles
This is a demo I made to explore using cogs as a puzzle mechanic. I've written a lot in the devlog about what did and didn't work.
The game includes:
- A number of puzzle/demo levels that introduce the various mechanics
- A demo scene with some more complex cog systems you can play with
- A sandbox scene

Hey! Your games are really awesome! May I ask where you find so original and interesting ideas for puzzles? Can you recommend reading some books or play games to get inspiration?
Aw thanks! I did a lot of brainstorming last year in different genres, usually just picking one genre at a time to dig into a bit and then throwing loads of random ideas onto a Miro board until I found something interesting. But to be honest the ideas I like the most usually just appear at random times, which is where the cogs game came from. A lot of the time it just starts with an idea for a technical challenge I want to try out, too. Doing tutorials for those, or looking around at game jams, or following lots of indie developers are good ways to stay inspired :)
thank you
um the game no longer works..... its just a grey screen now :(
Can I ask what browser you're using?
