Currently laughing.\rok, this game is great; good art, the soundtrack is utterly fitting, the dialogue is funny ( "you seem to think this is a game, which is weird"), and the puzzles are very difficult.\rit's kinda awkward when you're able to suddenly drag a really long wire off the grid, though. Don't know what to suggest there. Also, it would make more sense if the 'goal plugs' could face up and down instead of just left and right."},{"author_name":"xgeovanni","author_uid":"11296","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 10:37am","epoch":1408962720,"text":"This is the funniest game in the compo, no question."},{"author_name":"Tom 7","author_uid":"1984","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 1:00pm","epoch":1408971300,"text":"Thanks everybody :) Miziziziz: If I understand what you mean, plugs satisfying the goal can face any direction, but the space they point at has to be clear."},{"author_name":"Jupiter_Hadley","author_uid":"27744","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 7:27pm","epoch":1408994520,"text":"Really funny game.

Moving around was initially frustrating.. A reset button would have been nice as well. Also, the connection to the theme was a bit weak.\r\rOtherwise, I thought it was great. Cute cartoony art style, interesting gameplay, fun dialog, and I loved the last level. It took me a while to figure out but I got it. Very nice job.\r\rFYI, it ran perfectly on my core 2 duo macbook air using chrome."},{"author_name":"SnoringFrog","author_uid":"20952","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 2:59am","epoch":1409108040,"text":"That last puzzle took me a bit to figure out.

Amazing puzzle design and it's hilarious as per usual. Some of the mouse control feels pretty wonky though, like when you try to connect things that won't work (or just drag working ones too far) and it jumps into full drag mode. Kinda wish there was a key that showed which bits connect together since I forgot really fast & having to get the orientation right threw me off on the 2nd metal ball level. Loved the ending, and great music of course. Awesome :D"},{"author_name":"dylanwolf","author_uid":"20078","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 3:51am","epoch":1409197560,"text":"The interface was a bit tricky--I often moved the whole cable when I just wanted to drag one end.
