About the game

Engare is a game about motion and geometry. Part puzzle game, part drawing tool, Engare is all about your geometric imagination. It’s a meditation on the dynamics of simple machines and the beauty buried deep within repeating motion.

What players say

playthrough felt like the gentlest, most beautiful lesson in math ever. as a visual learner and uni (eng) math survivor this was the first time in my life I appreciated math in a meaningful way. felt like the dev was personally teaching me math.

Great game. Solutions are satisfying and elegant. Art is spectacular. Best part of the game are the six sandboxes to mess around in and make art with. 10/10.

This is a relaxed game, though it may seem it`s trying to make you lose your cool. Chill out and enjoy the ride. Be advised, this can last as long as you want; still, the amount of levels puts this game as a short one, perhaps too short. I got this on a sale and wasn't disapointed.
