Cogs is a multi-award-winning puzzle game where players build increasingly complex machines using sliding tiles 3D. Originally launched in 2009, we completely remastered Cogs from the ground up in 2025 to look beautiful on modern phones and tablets. "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 "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 tap counts when you only get ten moves to find a solution.

JELLY POP isn't just a game—it's a tactile playground where fluid 3D physics meet deep logical strategy. Forget static grids; immerse yourself in a world of iridescent, squishy jellies that react to your every touch with realistic soft-body dynamics. [Core Features - Redefining the Genre] True Soft-Body Physics: Feel the weight and tension as jellies stretch, squish, and bounce using our advanced 3D physics engine. Strategic Pathfinding: Jellies are physical objects that block the way! You must strategically clear paths and move obstacles to facilitate the perfect fusion. Dynamic Spatial Management: Manage your container in real-time. As the "Panic Bar" fills, new rows rise from the bottom, challenging you to think fast and act precisely. ASMR Sensory Feedback: Every fusion triggers a symphony of satisfying pops and high-quality squishy sounds designed for ultimate relaxation. Infinite High-Score Challenge: No artificial level caps. Push your brain to the limit in a pure test of logic and spatial awareness.
