Product Description
Gear Works challenges you to restore broken mechanical systems by strategically placing gears across a grid. Each puzzle begins with a few fixed gears already in place, and your task is to connect them to the goal gear so the entire machine rotates smoothly. As you progress, layouts become more complex, space becomes tighter, and timing grows more demanding.
