Rewire by drilltail
Peer into the world's inner machinery. Rearrange it as you see fit.
Rewire is a platformer where you can peek at the rules behind the game world, and then "rewire" them to solve puzzles. Steal a fast monster's speed and make it your own. Give your own ability to walk to a lifeless rock.

- Jump: W
- Toggle Rewire Mode: Space
- Rewire properties: Drag with mouse
How to rewire:
- Press Space to enter Rewire Mode
- Drag a property onto yourself or another object to move it
- Green properties are yours
- Blue properties belong to something else
- Red properties cannot be moved
Remember to press 'R' if you get in an unwinnable situation.
NOTE: You may have to click the screen before the game will accept input.

The boss fight was quite hard, but I still managed. This is a really new concept, I like it a lot, full score in innovation! The graphics are good, and it matches the theme.
Why does this have so few ratings? You should go out and rate others so you become more visible, this game deserves it.
Only thing that made it a bit hard is that sometimes it doesn't understand where I want to attach a property, maybe the interface needs a few tweaks.
All in all a great entry! I was really entertained!
Good job!
I defeated the boss but lost the ability to walk. Does my character live in a wheelchair after the game ends?
I think the controls are a little janky on moving components: it would be nice to have a visual cue of where exactly to drag things. It was kind of annoying. Also, in stage 4 there was a bit of luck, sometimes the explosion destroyed the block on the button and I had to retry.
Would be nice to have some more sound, and some more animations. Still, that's 48h for you...
Overall this is great. Nice boss battle, too. SUPER
Well done!
