Graphically it looks very nice but I feel like a top down perspective or at least an orthographic camera might work a bit better with the controls. Also, any nodes which aren't used in the level probably shouldn't be shown. I got confused when connecting from node 0 before realizing that I was supposed to use node 2. Otherwise, I really like the game and would love to see more :)

A button to interrupt the testing would be nice to have, too. Everything else was fine, and impressive for a jam game. Well done!
Otherwise this looks really well done and polished.

But in any case game looks good. Great job!
For suggestions, overall I thought it was great, but a couple tweaks would be welcomed -
- Instead of auto-hiding the controls, maybe just a collapse button.
- I agreed with Zorg, the Test feedback red/green made it hard to tell what state the pin was supposed to be at. (Not to mention color blindness)
- Advancing to the next level as opposed to a main menu / quit prompt would be nice.
5/5 for innovation, fun, and theme, good job :)
For people who don't know from circuit design, I can imagine this is pretty daunting - but it could make a solid game in the vein of Shenzhen I/O if it was fleshed out to have some tutorial levels and level introductions that give some guidance.
