Experienced a few glitches when using the arrow keys to control (HTML5) but worked well when using mouse. I like the minimalist graphics - vaguely reminds me the game Mini Metro. The my only real suggestion would be to modify the UI - the restart button appeared to move based on the screen size and the text in the top left was not always very readable.

I think I got 4 lamps and managed to get a score of 339 that way.\n\nOne suggestion for improvement is instead of generating an infinite array of random pieces, I think the game would be more interesting with a several handcrafted levels where you can get all the lamps into a single circuit within the given number of moves. After the player does all of those then they can try a randomly generated puzzle perhaps.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Coding4rtist","author_uid":"1220145","time":"2020-10-08T20:44:29Z","epoch":1602189869,"modified":1602189869,"text":"Really cool and challenging puzzle!
