Based in Macclesfield, Cheshire, iPhone developer Chillingo has released a new puzzle game in Cogs for iPhone and iPod touch.

Cogs is billed as a groundbreaking puzzle game, where players build increasingly complex machines using sliding tiles in 2D and 3D environments.

New puzzles are unlocked by building contraptions against the clock with as few moves as possible.

Multiple gameplay modes and difficulty levels are also offered including:

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 click counts when you only get ten moves to find a solution.

Available from the Apple iTunes App Store, Cogs costs 59p and requires the iPhone 3.0 Software Update or later.
