Okay, so,
Cogs. A puzzle game which just came out on Steam.
The basic concept is simple: there is a board of tiles, one of the tiles is an empty slot, clicking an adjacent tile moves it into the empty slot. In fact, clicking a tile in the same row column as the empty slot moves the whole block and it counts as one move.

Now, tiles can have all kinds of stuff on them, usually gears and pipes, and every puzzle has a certain goal, like making certain fixed gears turn, or inflating balloons with steam of the right colors. Like in the picture above, you need to turn the yellow gear, but your source of power is that steam pipe, so you need to plug the steam into the converting thingy on the left first.

Oh, and did I mention it's in complete 3D? Yes, you can rotate the whole puzzle any way you like (even the 2D puzzles that don't require it). Many of the puzzles consist of a 3D shape which may have several connected boards in it. The graphics are perfectly fitting. You get the feeling of tinkering with a gadget and trying to make it work.

The game consists of 50 puzzles. In addition to completing them, players are encouraged to try to minimize the amount of time and moves taken, getting bronze to gold tokens for performance. Also, there are two challenge modes, of 50 levels each, which are variation of original puzzles concentrating on moves/time only respectively.
All in all, quite a nifty puzzle game for 10 bucks. I know I'm enjoying it very much, and hope you will too.
