Description

From the listing uploaded by “moonwolf”.

Get your mental gears going with this award-winning puzzle game! Cogs is a ground-breaking puzzle game where players build increasingly complex machines using sliding tiles in 2D and 3D environments. It comes with 50 puzzles and three gameplay modes for a total of 150 unique challenges, totalling more than 10 hours of mind-bending gameplay. This award-winning game is perfect for puzzle fans of any age and ability! ***If you receive a "graphics format unsupported" error, please email us! If you are using Chainfire3D, please set it to support PVR or uninstall it to play Cogs*** “It is awesome.” – TouchArcade "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 “If a sliding puzzle was a wheel, consider it re-invented!” – TouchGen “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 click counts when you only get ten moves to find a solution. LEADERBOARD AND ACHIEVEMENTS THROUGH OPENFEINT Unlock achievements, see how you stack up on global leaderboards, and play with friends! The "discover known accounts" permission is used by OpenFeint to pre-fill the email address field if the user opts to set up a new OpenFeint account. Cogs does not have in-game ads.

Cogs APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Cogs APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store flagged this file with a security warning. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 4eaf0ef18c033f3623b5c7afefb77046.
