Graphics: 2 out of 10
Sound: 4 out of 10
Gameplay: 4 out of 10
Hardness factor: 7 out of 10
Overall: 4 out of 10
Graphics: The graphics are pretty sad. There is the playing field, which
is pure white with small dots, a few blob-shaped enemies, and the icons
you can select. They are all poor looking and there's hardly any detail in
enemies and the icons.
Sound: The sound in this game is light, but it's okay. At least it isn't
annoying, even though it is repetitive.
Gameplay: This game is an interesting puzzle game, but it really doesn't
have much depth. You put down gears in order to make a chain of gears
work (there are different sized ones each time) while avoiding the enemies,
or stopping them with your slingshot. Needless to say, this kind of 'action'
gets boring within the first few levels. There are really not enough original
aspects in this game to make it interesting.
Hardness factor: This game gets pretty hard, even after the first or second
level. Pieces just don't seem to fit where you think they will, which they
should have fit. Also, enemies are really annoying since they'll get in your way.
Overall: 4 out of 10. This game, while interesting, didn't have enough
substance or originality to be fun.
