How does your game fit the theme?
A circuit board is usually something quite small that is used to run bigger machines such as computers, toasters, washing machines... In addition, you play a electron which is one of the smallest particle we currently know.

It's amazing you managed to do all this in 50 hours :o It is a funny puzzle game and I love your take on the theme. Plus the art style is really cute. Maybe it would have helped to have clearer indicatons of the way you can go through switches. Brilliant idea of how to show the concept of electrical resistance 😁
Congratulations for your submission !
Thanks ! This is really nice ! I’ll be thinking about this tutorial thing !
I liked the way you contextualized a simple maze Pathfinder game and I liked the music and arsthethic overall
The gameplay could have been more engaging and interesting and sometimes it wasn't clear which way you could pass through some of the blocks in the maze as you couldn't pass them both ways.
Nice job anyways
Thanks for the feedback ! I definitely have some work to do on the level design !
Awesome take on the theme. Beautifull art and color palette! Nice Job!
Thanks a lot ! I’m really glad you liked it !
Super neat concept making different maze components out of actual electrical components. It feels like you could expand on this a lot to get some very interesting puzzles. Hopping through the resistors is interesting but it I could see it getting tedious with more complex top level mazes though.
Thank you for the feedback ! I could definitely extend it but I really missed some time ! (I could only start to work on the game like 40 hours after the beginning unfortunately)
Woah! Well done in the time you had. I think you’ve got something worth scaling up outside of the jam ;)
Thank you, that’s really nice ! I’ll consider it ! I fixed the bugs already, so I may add some content to the game !

This is so good! The music fits very well with the overall theme of the game. I thought you had a very creative implementation on the theme so I'll let it slide that I couldn't use WASD.
Wish there had been some more things/obstacles to explore but keep it up!
Thank you ! I’ll add the WASD controls as soon as the jam ends !! And I think I’ll extend the game, if I have time to do so !
A lot of fun! I'm going to think of the electron running through the maze every time I use resistors now. I feel the diodes could be a bit more readable in terms of which direction they were pointing, but otherwise I loved the art
Thank you for the feedback ! I’ll improve the diode’s texture, I’d actually plan to do it but didn’t find time to do it during the jam !
Definitely a neat take on the theme and the art is spot on, fits the game perfectly and looks good too.
As a fan of all things technology, I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I especially appreciate how all the components are easily recognizable and function as they would (to an extent) in a real PCB. I only experienced one glitch, where I clipped out of the board somehow in the last level, but it was really solid otherwise. The art looks really good, too.
It's kind of funny how similar our games are, but how differently we took the idea!
Thank you for your feedback ! I'm glad you liked the game ! For the little glitch, I found it, but it was to late to release a fix ! But after the jam, I'll at least post an update to fix every known bug, if not to extend the game !
Once again, thanks for playing my game ! And I'll definitely try yours !
