‘Gears’ for Nokia – A Puzzle Game That Could Easily Grind Your Gears!
by BillVolpe
If you are a big puzzle fan, then Gears is game just for you. The goal of the game is to join all gears on game board. Do you think that it is easy? Try it out! There are 50 challenges to beat, ranging from easy starting levels to trickier more though provoking puzzles. It’s an addictive game, good graphics, easy touch control, fun for all ages, truly a must have! Don’t give up until you complete all levels!
Here’s the nitty gritty:
Graphics
To me, simple, clean graphics are the way to go in almost every game. The folks over at mdragon.org do not disappoint. The levels from a layout/graphic perspective are very simple, yet elegantly put together to give a great user experience.
Game play
You had me at hello when you said 50 levels. C’mon now, how many mobile games nowadays have this much depth and playability? Not many. The game starts off easy which will encourage you to play more. Then you’ll quickly notice that the levels get a bit more challenging. This separates the men from the boys, the women from the girls, the intellectual from the… well you get where I’m going with this. Huge value for the amount of game you are getting.
Music/Sound FX
You wouldn’t expect much in the music/sound department with a game like this. However, I was taken back a bit in regard to the quality music. Flutes and keys of a piano will welcome you when the title screen appears. During the game you will hear the interlocking of gears as you pick them up and drop them. Very nice.
Controls
The controls are very straight-forward. Simply touch the gear you want to move and drag it to the location you choose. So yes, the controls are simple but as you progress in the game you will quickly notice that the solutions become a bit more challenging…
I am currently on level 25, and have not yet found out a solution for it. But, I am not letting that stop me! Download this game, and you’ll understand where I am coming from. Seriously, download it! Smooth graphics, nice sound, and killer replay-value. You’ll be hooked as you get to level one. Trust me.
Game on.
This game is available on S60 5th edition devices. It can be downloaded for $1.99 (USD) in Ovi Store. Downloaded it here.
