Cogs is a puzzle game where players build machines from sliding tiles\.  Players can choose from 50 levels and 3 gameplay modes\.  New puzzles are unlocked by building contraptions quickly and efficiently\.                        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 click counts when you only get ten moves to find a solution\.
