Circuitry

Circuitry is a game about wiring circuits and vacuum tubes (how ancient). Doesn't sound fun to you? You're probably right.

This is my second LD game, this time a design-puzzle game. It was inspired by KOHCTPYKTOP: Engineer of the People (Zachtronics), and his other impossible games. It's not really scientifically accurate, but I hope it's fun (and more importantly challenging) :)

Controls:
Click to select tool/place
Right click to delete

Made with HaxeFlixel.

Well, it's a neat brainteaser. Could be used to learn about basic circuitry.

Interesting game. I don't undestant much about circuits, so i'm struglling alot xD

Cool game and nice mechanics:) Although it was a little difficult for me.

It's a cool game, and it's a cool teaching application too.
A hint system, or show the solution button would be great.

You really accomplished the challenging part. Maybe the jump from the first puzzles to the 4th is a little too steep, but very well done and with a cool aesthetic.

awesome mechanic, bit hard for me
imo the ui need tweak a bit, theres no clear separation between the object that needed to select and the rest of the text, should have a clear column of its own
but its just nitpicking, awesome entry!

I'm an electrical engineer and I really struggled with this... without resistors it doesn't really make sense. A voltage source wired together with a low input is low? See http://imgur.com/a/nJWTe (both solutions pass). It Might make more sense to somebody who doesn't "know too much".

Seems promising but ultimately I found this confusing to play.

Well my minecraft redstone skills didn't get me too far in this game. :D

Still interessting concept and fun to dig into the knowledge. Well done. :)

Quite basic design but good puzzle. I struggled some with the userinterface (clicking vs clickdrag, selecting, deselecting etc.) didnt feel intuitive.

Wonderful game. I made it to level 11 (I will go back and try to finish it later) and am having a great time with it so far. I think this game would benefit from a level select screen and a more detailed tutorial. An option to view previous tutorials would also be beneficial, as well as a list of all outputs for a level (that would figure out clarify what is required for each level).

I am also a huge Zachtronics fan, and I made a SpaceChem-inspired game for miniLD #69 called Production District (https://steven-miller.itch.io/production-district). I would appreciate it if you checked it out (even instead of my actual game for this event, since there are no ratings anyway).

Also, I noticed a bug. When you delete a junction, the graphics start to glitch out.

This can be a great learning tool for electric circuits! I have no prior electric circuit knowledge and I found level4 suddenly jump up in difficulty? I will definitely come back to this game when I have more time because it is very educational!

Fun but very high learning curve for people who do not know about this kind of thing.

Always wanted to learn about circuitry, so it's nice to see a game that makes it more enjoyable to learn. The game is quite hard when you don't know a lot about circuitry, but thats okay, most of this stuff can be googled if it becomes too hard :)

@Steven Miller
Thanks for the feedback! Your game looks right up my alley, I'll be sure to try it out when I can :)

I'm sure this is solid for anyone into things like this. I had to bail at puzzle for because I felt overwhelmed, so many words and things.

^ Bail at puzzle 4, is what I mean to say.
