Geared is a puzzle game where the goal is to use various shaped gears to make the yellow (powered) gear turn all the blue gears on the screen.

It’s definitely a good puzzler game—each level is slightly more challenging than the one before it.  For example, sometimes you need to make more than one blue gear turn.  Other times, you need to fit the gears in just the right fashion so they all balance together to spin the blue gear.

You may have noticed before that is said each level is slightly more challenging than the one before it.  This is true to the extreme–it wasn’t until around level 20 that the game  started to become challenging.  Luckily when you exit the game and then start it again, it picks up where you left off.

Geared is a good game, but it gets stale.  It’d be better if the game moved at a little faster pace; or if there were only 10 easy screens instead of 20.

 

Quick Take

Value: Medium

Would I Buy Again:  Probably…but I don’t think it has much longevity on my phone

Learning Curve: None

Who Is It For: Puzzle game lovers

What I Like:  It’s a fun game to play

What I Don’t: Doesn’t "mix it up" fast enough..

Final Statement: Geared is a fun game–not highly recomended, but not discouraged from purchasing either.
