I liked where this was going, however I found its controls a little clunky - I couldn't remove a part that was placed, the wires accidentally auto-connected to each other, creating shorts, etc.
Still, I'd like to see this one improved, would've been an interesting circuit sim / puzzle game.
Cheers.
Thank you :). I can understand that, if we had better planning we might've gotten a functional demolishing system. Secretly it's in the game, if you press the 'd' key you switch to demolish mode. However there's a bug where if you try to demolish a wire it still tries to run current through it, sometimes. (and you don't get your money back lol). But it's definitely on the todo list!
Nice game for a first game! Could use a lot of QoL stuff and also not depend on circuit knowledge (could've added a little + and - symbol on the led for example)
Smart idea and use of the theme! I would've like to be able to edit the setup afterwards but its really well done
Wow thats a pretty clever idea. Good job! It would be nice if you could remove the individual components tho. Never the less, fun little game.
Congrats on your first game jam!! Your submission is really cool. I enjoyed the feedback of seeing the electricity moving through the wires and how you could place each part. I would have loved to be able to build wires by clicking on the start and finish to connect two pieces. Also, once I got the loop working for the first level, I got a pop up with my efficiency and cost, and while both were within the range specified, I couldn't tell if I "won" or not. For your next game jam (I hope this will be the first of many!), I recommend adding elements that give the player clear feedback on win/lose. This can be as simple as a green checkmark or something. Since your game mechanic is essentially connecting components, in this case you could even start out with a super super simple level where the components are there and you only connect one to the other. It would give the player an intro to how things are scored and how to use the mechanic you design. Then jump in to making their own design by placing components.
All in all, a very impressive first jam submission. If you want to check out a fellow "Circuit" game submission, here's ours: /jam/gmtk-2025/rate/3773979
A bit tricky to understand how to properly close a loop at first, but very creative. It would be nice to be able to remove single parts instead of removing the whole circuit (or maybe you can, and I didn't see how to do it 😅
Congrats on finishing your first game jam, that’s a huge achivement!!
I really like the idea with the circuit puzzles, super promising concept.
There are still some bugs though ... for example, the battery loop only seems to work from the left and the first level works without using a LED at all.
And being able to remove placed tiles (like Manguuh mentioned) would have been a great addition.
Are you going to keep working on it past jam? :)
Cute little game! Though I would love some little additions to the usability, like being able to (re-)move single individual components
