Thank you British IP office and Aardmore for such a wonderful little game. It's obviously created to promote the ideas of Intellectual Property but doesn't psuh it down your throat. You don't even have to read most of the IP signs.
And on top of that it's a really nifty puzzle game. I wish more "Advertising" type games could get this concept: It's not going to be nearly as effective if it's not fun to play.

I've always loved W&G since I was young and now that they have a game on my favorite site, I couldn't resist playing... And I loved it, not too frustrating but had it's challenging times. A level editor would be wonderful, along with more upgrades for obtained cogs. I really cannot think of a word to describe it. Maybe a 1000000000/5 will do. XD

great game, the puzzles were challenging, but not punitive or unnecessarily frustrating, the graphics were simple yet compelling, i love that there was a "quest" feel to the game (get all the cogs) and that there were a number of different solutions to each situation, i agree that there could be level editor to encourage invovation on the creative side as well as the solving side, really wonderful 5/5

Great game! maybe a level editor when you have fund all 60 cogs as expected something more appealing than a simple take of =P but hell! great game 5/5 and scoops Pwnd on nearly ALL puzzles, the nutty one was easy, I just bumped into it accidentally going full speed through rooms and unscrewed it =D

It's a very good game with an interesting concept, smooth gameplay and fun puzzles, but there's one room that irks me. Kinematics Testing E8. Your instinct is to go and get the cog first and then read the plaque, but once you do that it says that if you collected the cog already, you've essentially screwed yourself over unless you can build a tool that does the job of the cog. That really annoys me, since I'm not a genius like some other people out there. There should also never be puzzles that tell you what you shouldn't do right after you've done it. I give this game a 4/5.

i didnt like all the hints and stuff it points out all the obvious solutions but the game was GREAT 5/5 too bad there isnt more :S

If this game was realistic, the message wouldn't show "patent pending" but "sorry, the tool you conceived was already patented by someone else. Try again..."

For the wedges r us and octo block just go to the next room and come back and pick up the gear. + if this helped u out or saved u some time.

So basically there are no logistical problems that can't be fixed with a great big metal scoop attached to a helicopter.

3/5 everything that has been done here could have been done better. and most of the "puzzles" can be solved with the same wedge.

Very entertaining! I'd like to see a sequel. Only criticisms, it was a little annoying that just viewing the map screen reset the room you were on. Sometimes I just wanted to check my progress halfway through a puzzle and then I had to start over again. Also, it would have been useful to be able to save maybe two or three designs, like the scoops, so you can re-use them instead of having to build from scratch. 4/5.

BRILLIANT! Except, intellectual property actually stagnates growth, in America at least... Excellent game, though! 5/5

I would like to point out that this is UK copyright law, and not US Copyright law--don't get the legal advice in here confused with real legal advice. Furthermore, copyrights are economically unwise, and often immoral. If you're still interested, I would recommend a visit to Wikipedia, or CreativeCommons.org

The embarrassingly misleading "IP information" annoys me. Some of it is right, some of it doesn't mean what it appears, and some of it is just things which certain of the sponsors would like to be true, but are actually just made up.

really cool game. Really "creative". And thanks for the IP info. I've alwaays wanted to know if i could really own my games.
