David has created another design tour analyzing the classic indie title Cogs. In his design tours, David points out game design details that make different games stand out. Cogs is an innovative, steampunk, sliding puzzle game which is in the Humble Indie Bundle 3.
Be sure to watch it in HD!
I've definitely passed through a solid phase of addiction to Cogs, but I've never really thought about the underlying principles that make the game so fun.
Be on the look out for another design tour soon!
Don't forget to pick up your copy of the Humble Indie Bundle #3 if you have not already.
Great game, finished it within a week after release on steam. Was quite fun.
"I've definitely passed through a solid phase of addiction to Cogs, but I've never really thought about the underlying principles that make the game so fun."
A game developer that doesn't think about the things that make a game fun? I thought that came with being a game developer :P I know that I think about the things that make a game fun (or boring) every time I play a game.
I'll try this game soon, I've already downloaded all the HIB3 games but I have yet to play them.
we need more of these tours
