The music and sound effects seem suitable and the instructions clear. Maybe have a level select screen but with only three puzzles it's not really needed.\n\nPersonally I'm very happy to see a project in vanilla JavaScript as it means there is much I can learn from the source code.

I was probably the slowest twisted pairer alive, but that sense of proudness I got when I finally found the final piece that put it all together- true bliss. Here's my completion score:\n\n![slowpoke score.png](\/\/\/raw\/a71\/9\/z\/70b8d.png)\n\nSo yeah, very satisfying puzzle game to play. The feeling you get when you finally find the piece that connects perfectly is just awesome. The effects are satisfying as well, the shortcut bzzz when you rotated something in a way that doesn't work is a nice signifier to keep going. Despite the wires going all over the place, the connections were always easy to follow thanks to the highlight, this is a very polished game, I thought it looks great. Sound is the quintessential puzzling banner, plus of course the aforementioned sound effects, I only now see that those were 3am sound effects with the occasional hissing, sound design is great as well here.

It reminded me of one computer game from my childhood that I almost forgot. It was called Vetka in Russian, which means Branch. It was also a puzzle game about connecting - just not wires, but branches, so they would flower. I loved playing Vetka and spent a lot of time on it!

The wire graphics were nice and intuitive, and the mechanic that figures out which ones to light up is cool.\n\nI like the corkboard and graph paper adding to the tactile feel!\n\nDon't really have any nitpicks or critique, it was just nice, and I would've kept playing if there was more!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld59\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/bluetear.de\/twistedpair\/","text":"Link"},{"url":"","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"66172","g_author":"1002522","g_event":"LD59","g_eventkey":"113","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"284925","g_title":"Twisted Pair","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"11","g_commentcount":"21","g_site2_node_id":"429899","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"429899","n_urlkey":"284925","n_parent":"424249","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/59\/twisted-pair","n_slug":"twisted-pair","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"2522","n_created":"0","n_modified":"0","n_version":"1354459","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"id":429899,"parent":424249,"_superparent":9,"author":2522,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"compo","published":"2026-04-20T00:18:27Z","created":"2026-04-19T23:31:10Z","modified":"2026-05-07T10:13:21Z","_trust":5,"version":1354459,"slug":"twisted-pair","name":"Twisted Pair","body":"![twistedpair.png](\/\/\/raw\/ad9\/z\/7054c.png)\nA simple puzzle game where you connect two wires at the same time by placing tiles on a board.\n\n![twistedpair_qrcode.png](\/\/\/raw\/ad9\/z\/70518.png)\nIt works on mobile devices as well as any browser.\n\n- The project has been written in vanilla JavaScript with Visual Studio Code.\n- All graphics have been created in InkScape, photos edited with Affinity Photo.\n- The background music has been composed in strudel.cc.\n- The sounds have been recorded in Audacity.
