Game Description
Fix the circuitry that is haunted by ghosts of the past.

How does your game tie into the theme?
Hauntings have been reduced to a microscopic scale, but they still definitely exist.

Another original game, one that I appreciated since I am not the best with circuit logic and can sometimes get twisted up when looking at schematics. So honestly, as a testing and learning tool, I genuinely appreciated it.

The art and audio were simple, but effective. The haunted part was definitely a little shoehorned in, but you made it work with the little bonus flourishes and silly bits.

Lowkey, I would be stoked if you make this into a serious (in usage, not tone) real IRL training tool for people to use.

Hi, cool game Idea. Well executed.
Would have loved if you would have used some sort of naming of your nodes, more like the logic blocks.
To write down on them AND/OR/XOR etc. if a player is not familiar with the icons, he needs to use the tester.

This is another very original game concept from you! The puzzles did feel very trial and error though. I liked the many accessibility options that were given in the game with speed/mute and the template options as well. Great entry!

Dang, this was such a good take on "haunted", it was so hard to reason about it, nice work!

cool puzzle game! i haven't really seen any submission like this personally in previous jam's so a unique entry that was well executed, had a lot of fun w this entry. well done!

Fun puzzle, great job!

"This is how I feel like on a daily basis as an electrical engineer" -chickenfriedbryce

Dude I think all electronics are haunted - that last level almost had me draw a karnaugh map lol

Really fun gameplay, I heavily relate to the haunted theme here. The puzzle aspect was really challenging for a logic gate game because the circuits lie to you, which i understand is the point, but also way too reminiscent of manufacturer data sheets for comfort. Great job man!

Good game made me feel like i didn't know anything later on 10/10 . jokes aside it was an interesting puzzle game very unique

Fun idea for the theme! And the logic gate stuff speaks to me in a big way. I ended up feeling like the puzzle element became a little more like guesswork, but I still enjoyed.

oh god, I wish it weren't so late right now. reached model xx.xx.xx , but that melted my brain.

awesome submission!

anyway, can I get that ghost engineering degree now?

I think this a fun puzzle game but I'm not entirely sold on the haunting theme. Still had a blast!

Good game, I like logic gates.

Great game, loved every bit of it! The idea of haunted circuits sure is an original one! The particles added the necessary juice that the game needed. Awesome game. Good job.

Love logic gates. The background music was great. I don't know if there was a way to know when a gate was haunted or not and the puzzles sometimes just felt like trial and error.

Love the vibes and idea for a circuit game!  Sound and ambience are great.   I ended up being a little confused though, not sure if it was a bug but the final level completed after I yanked a couple gates out for testing.

I really like how the game looks, and I appreciate all the little flourishes that happen when you place down logic gates or how the numbers in the test results flash when the get updated. 

The idea is interesting too, but the puzzles themselves are just not really that fun to solve. It ends up kind of just feeling like trial and error even when you're actually trying to remember how each gate is actually working. Maybe it's too much information too early? Or I could be stupid lol.

Interesting idea for the haunted theme. I played a few levels, not sure I see how haunted circuits were different from normal ones. Also seems like there were extra circuits for some reason? Like why were 4 seemingly identical circuits given, when only of them was needed to beat the level?

Cool game overall!

It's fun, fits the theme well, it serves as a nice and friendly introduction to logic gates and it also has great audiovisual feedback. I feel a bit of shame for bruteforcing my way through the last level but I definitely learned something thanks to it.

I always appreciate jam submissions in unexpected and unusual genres. The gameplay was fun, this could be a fun way to introduce people to logic gates.

For me, the audio was a bit irritating after a while, but fortunately I could pause the testing or mute the sounds.

Pretty unusual seeing logic simulation in a game jam. I commend the risk-taking since some folks won't remember off-the-cuff how logic gates look/act. I don't mind the refresher at all!
