Ranked from 64 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
The game is about connecting electronic components, and an alternating current electronic circuit is nothing more than a loop.

Very cool game!!!

Very cool game! Completing these circuits makes me feel smarter. It would be nice to be able to move components once placed, and I think connecting 2 red-blue batteries crashes the game. Good job!

Really fun idea, and clean execution! This really made me feel for my EE friends who have to do this but with integrals 😅. I think it made sense that you couldn't move the components after they were welded in, but it made me restart really often, when i could have just tried reconnecting the electricty. I think I got past the final level without really understanding the red/blue battery mechanics? since, often there existed a charge on the red/blue batteries when my other batteries weren't even connected. Overall, liked it, and esp like the little faces on the resistors.

We had the same inspiration of electronic circuits! It's great to see a more direct interpretation of it in the jam. I love the cute art style and music. The puzzles were simple and understandable. Great entry and again, love the interpretation of the theme.

Cool interpretation of the theme! The little faces make all the difference. It was fun, good job :D

Not many electrical game circut, this is a nice one. I made it to level 8 but I connected two resistors to each other it crashed

Really good concept, interesting puzzles, but not implemented dragging of some puzzle elements is really ruining my experience(or I can't use it, if it's implemented please say).

Love the concept! It’s such a clever way to tie electronics into the loop theme, and the puzzles felt really satisfying to solve!!

Very enjoyable puzzles! I love this idea!

Finished the game! very nice one

Loved the puzzles. Took me some time to do the 8th one for some reason, but I´d like more of these!

Neat idea. I liked the variety in which you could connect things. Nice presentation as well, good job!

Nice puzzle! I feel brainless now

A fun and creative way of approaching the theme for sure! Connecting all the elements was very satisfying, I think in the beginning I confused the battery and the other thingy that looked similar (the one halving the voltage I think? not sure what it is), but I got the hang of it eventually :)  the visuals and audio/sound fx add a nice layer of polish to the overall experience, I enjoyed it a lot!

Very creative!

Cool game! It kinda crashed in stage 6, but it's still pretty nice especially to teach circuits to kids or even adults.

Nice puzzle game ! I think there's a bug when you split the value in 2, but I enjoyed it anyway :)

Electronics is an excellent context for a Loop game; you can come up with a lot of ideas. Great job!

This a great game overall. The level progression really feels natural and I never felt too confused during any point. The artwork, design and user interface are all quite sleek and feel well-built. However, I didn't fully understand the battery object and I think there is a bug when disconnecting elements as the total voltage doesn't get calculated correctly. But this is a great game overall and really fun to play!
