Expansion pack?

[Yikes]

first up, love the game
finished it in about 5 hours all up, 60% gold (haven't gone for the speed and moves yet deliberately)

any ideas on when an expansion may be released and would there possibly be harder levels?

i of course will make what i can...

Harder, eh?  You're clearly a serious puzzler, as reviewers almost unanimously rated Cogs as too difficult.

There aren't any official expansion packs in the works yet, but a few devoted members of the Cogs community have started to build their own.  You can find a few here:

I'm thinking about adding a Steam achievement for downloading and playing mods (or creating your own).  I think that might help drive the modding community.  In case you haven't found the mod documentation, this is a good place to get started:

NOT too difficult!     Though I admit to being challenged, and I certainly haven't gone through everything for moves and speed.

That being said, I'd happily pay for an expansion pack!

Indeed i am a serious puzzler when i get the time... damn that place they call "work"

i agree with Valkyrie, i think if an official expansions/mod pack were to be released say with a few more cool gadgets.... (hint hint) say something like ball tracks/ropes/chains, things which perform a specific function, i for one would definitely purchase such a pack, considering i know the amount of work that goes into the programming of these things

oh man, what a ride. when i saw cogs on steam it instantly caught my eye. i bought it expecting an awesome, gorgeous, genial little game, and i was not disappointed. being a perfectionist, i just couldnt sleep until i had all the stars, althou i am not very good at puzzles. took me more than 10 hours too...

so, will there be more? i mean, mods are cool and dandy, but i was hoping for more "dev supported" puzzles. even making a section on your website with top rated mods or something would be enough. just to give it an "official" feeling you know.


P.S.: lolspeak ftw

Hey, aldariz -

No good at puzzles, eh?  You could've fooled me.  Getting all 800 stars puts you in a rather elite category of the 0.4% who collect every star.  Anything you may lack in intuition you clearly make up for in determination.

There are a few new puzzle ideas that have been brewing in my head for a while, but to be honest, we're so busy with other projects right now that it will probably be some time before we release any official expansion packs.  Our mailing list is super low traffic, so if you want a low-spam option to stay notified when we finally do release an expansion pack or sequel, you may want to sign up:

Have you thought about designing some puzzles of your own?

on the other hand, from the ppl that got 800 stars, im probably the slowest (13 hours played). solving the puzzles was not hard, solving them while concentrating on speed and effeciency at the same time was. getting tripple gold on some of the puzzles was out of my league even. when i got it on "super holez", i knew luck was involved.
there were few "really" challenging puzzles, but nothing frustrating, since i always "saw" the solution. it was just a matter of getting there. (however, both the time and move challenges were extremely easy)

as far as creating puzzles goes, i dont think i can make any good ones, but ill check it out. anyways, i subscribed to the mailing list. looking forward to possible future expansion with more puzzles and maybe new skins. like rusty cogs, that would be sweet.

oh, and did i mention how awesome the cogs trailer is? in the hall of the mountain king is an excellent choice of music (plus, im a fan of edvard grieg)
