Junction Box features a pair of "particles" which are initially joined together by an electric charge. You must complete mazes by disconnecting and reconnecting the particles. I apologize for the terrible art....

This is really cool, I had a ton of fun! This could totally be polished up with some more animations and levels and be a full game! I love how the two orbs switch sides halfway through it totally threw me off of the controls for a second. The use of the purple walls was genius, particularly since it played with the main mechanic of the two orbs being connected. My only criticism was the initial confusion I faced early on where I didn't realize the lightning bolts reconnected the orbs and I was wondering why they were messing with my speed as I passed through them. Other than this, amazing job!
Quite fun game!
I enjoyed doing the levels again to get the par score.
One issue I had is that it took me a while to figure out that the bolts would reconnect you if both particles stand on them and that you needed to be connected to proceed. I thought these were just slowing zones.
Well that was a blast! Great grahpics and clever puzzles that really utilized the mechanics. And no joke I actually laughed out loud when the two switched places, completley twisted my mind haha! Awesome work! :D
Thank you! Many people have enjoyed the switching of the two balls. It even threw me off in testing and I knew it was coming!
Really fun game, it got me a while stick to the screen and screaming every time I was crossing left and right. Well done!
nice game.
Really fun game! Great work!
Would've loved to see some levels that actually focus on the "theme-mechanic" and not on quickly controlling two independent characters.
Couldn't agree more. I definitely wanted to do more of those. Ran a bit thin on time so there were not as many as I liked.
Damn awesome game!! Very simple and fun, really puts the ability to input different patterns with your hands and visualize it at the same time to the limit. The difficulty I think it escalates really well. I hope you keep developing this game because it is great :D
Thank you so much!
I really like the idea, at first I though the game was maybe too easy but you introduced new mechanics in a really good way! This could be a grea mobile game with like 300 levels. Good work!
My only complaint about this is that there aren't more levels. I reached the end without realising it and was very sad when I could not progress further. I had a lot of fun playing this!! I love the difficulty progression. When the A and B switched sides on the screen I was like ugh.. you bastard. lol. And getting through the purple line together in order to disconnect and then swap sides made me audibly "ahhhhh." Very well done! Please let me know if you make more levels :) I'd love to play more.
Thanks for the compliments! I definitely wanted to do more and had a few more ideas but life and sub-optimal time management during the jam stopped me.
Good Good
This game is really cool. I love the concept, and the puzzles were fun. I liked when it swapped which side of the screen A and B started on. That messed me up.
