Very fun puzzles to solve, fits with the theme very well :D

Nice game! After two tries I still can't wrap my head ahead around the final module though. That brings me back to college math where we would write out propositional logic tables but that's a little too much work to figure this out lol. Still, nice job!

I saw haw peaple play this and i rely like it, but i cant play it, it just say "click to anable audio then press enter to start". I clickung and pressing enter but nothing happans

Oh that makes me sad, is it a browser issue/would work in another browser? I know there’s some webGPU issues in some browsers, which is what this is built for.

This was great! I especially liked the replayability of it. Here's a playtest @04:08:26

That was a fun watch, thanks for playing! Replayability was the main pillar I was trying to build around so I’m glad :D

An addictive gameplay loop, but I'd like more visual cues — it would be a lot more enjoyable

Developer(+1)

When you say visual cues, you mean like making it more apparent for the clues and things like that?

Wow this turned into a time sink.  Took a while to understand the clue mechanic, but I like it when the digits guesses start to fall into place.  The wires one is a bit beyond me though it seems.

Developer

Yeah, out of everybody that playtested this, it took them a while to understand the clue mechanic but after that they were in the right flow. It is the first thing I’m going to be sorting out when I update this post jam. Thank you for playing! :D

Nice puzzle logic game. As far as I can tell the game generates different solutions for each run, and in all runs I did the solutions were not ambiguous, which it must have been hard to make sure of, good work

Developer

Thank you! The digit code puzzle is completely random on each run whereas the wires and the truth table puzzle had to be manually designed, I ended up with three of each of those two which are randomly decided each run.

My main concern was whether there were ambiguous solutions so I did so much play-testing, and out of everything it took the most time to make sure of them.

I think the idea is really good, and the puzzles are fun, but the audio and the artwork could be a bit more weighty and impactful, plus the music isn't really the absolute best.

Developer

Yeah the music was sadly an afterthought as the core mechanic/puzzles took so long to sort out, looking back I think I would have focused more on that earlier. Thanks for playing :D
