Nice work!  I enjoyed the puzzles, just challenging enough.  IIRC, if you move right and up, the duck faces left.  As others have mentioned some sounds would have been nice, and even some simple "fx", like changing pulsing the lines if they are successfully connected to the battery.

I can't seem to complete the first puzzle, are there supposed to be lines on the tiles?

Yeah– can you share a screenshot?

Best thing I can think of might be trying a different web browser

I really like this. The puzzles were fun, not too hard, and made me wish there were more :-). As previous reviews mentioned I would have liked a little more audio cues between the beginning and the end. The little waddling duck was cute!

Fun puzzle game, reminds me of Mac Sim back in the day making logic circuits, combined with a flat Capsella. 

Pros:

  • Creative Puzzles - Love puzzle games
  • Duck moving through the room looks like it could be used for a level select system, which is very cool
  • I enjoyed the electric artwork.

Critiques (I noticed you submitted right before the deadline, so like most of us.. I am guessing(?) that there were some challenges)

  • More audio, and likewise an adjustable audio slider. The brief audio that was in the game, made it seem like there would be more throughout, and was met with silence. Even little electrical sounds when working on the circuits?
  • I didn't really see a reason not to grab all the pieces initially, then fill out the puzzle. Maybe something like fuses as life, and each time you have to "RE-move" a circuit, it costs a fuse?

Thank you for mentioning Capsella– that was an important part of my childhood!

I like the puzzle design. It would be nice to also support WASD keys as well.

The only improvements I'd suggest to the puzzle design would be to have the powered sections light up so the player can see the flow of power and perhaps a next tile queue?

I really enjoyed this! The puzzles made me think but not too hard. I wish there were more puzzles but I totally understand needing to limit your scope. Music and sound effects within the game would have been great as well!

Nice concept, I would love more sounds and music thought, it could really help ;)
