About

The goal of the game is to guide a metal ring through electrified wire to the end of the wire without ring edge making contact with wire. This game has very "unique" controls that make guiding the ring hard, but with a little bit of practice it's possible. I highly recommend, that you read the instructions below, even after that figuring out how to control the ring is still challenging.

The game itself was inspired from a theme park game from my childhood, I was never good with it since my hands were too unstable ;)

Instructions:

Wiggle your mouse to collect energy for your ring and then click left mouse button to use that energy. wireshock-help-redo-1-2.gif

I recommended giving only small energy "bursts" to ring, that way you'll much better control of the ring. The ring will always follow the mouse even if you are not currently using ring energy. wireshock-help-redo-2-low-color-2.gif

Difficulty

This game is difficult, however with "easy" mode you at least have checkpoints. Other than that, there no difference between normal and easy mode. In normal the timer resets every time you hit the wire, If you want a good speed record, then you'll probably have to play this in normal mode.

Supported devices

This is a browser game and should work with any device, however I still highly recommend using PC and mouse. Touch controls do work, but the game become's much more difficult with touch controls.

Known issues

  • The timer starts too early in the title.

Nice game!! Thank you for an easy mode because even with checkpoints this is a challenge 😂

Thanks! It was my sister who proposed that I put a easy mode in the game. It can be very frustrating to reach near end and fail there in normal mode 😅

I know it was easy mode, but I'm proud for finishing this anyway XD

Really clever! The control scheme took a minute to get used to, but it actually felt good after I got used to it! Having to stop and recharge helped prevent me from trying to go too fast XD
