Neat little game! Love the shader and modelling work! Sound FX and music are nice and dinky too! I wonder if deciding where to connect to should be automated or not? Could be that there are a certain number of types of sockets that can only connect to each other (e.g. red, blue, green), and maybe some kind of constraint on the length of these connections. Setting that aside, I think a time attack mode could work brilliantly with this, successful connections could gain time based on their length, nice frantic energy ensues!

Damn, I always wanted to make such board style game! The idea is fun and entertaining, well done!

Top rating! Loved this game! Got to 23 though and ended up with the map so small that I couldn't see where I needed to go. Some better indicator in map mode of where the player needed to end up would have been perfect. I would have played for hours :P At least I don't have to worry about voltage drop on these lines :P

This is a great idea for a game! I like figuring out the best way to make all the connections, only to have it ruined five seconds later by a new chip. It reminds me of the game development process. I really like the mechanic of going to the other side of the board, too. It makes it feel like a real PCB and makes it harder to run in to problems. I also really like the shaded graphics! It adds a sort of retro feel to the game. Great work! It looks like we had similar ideas, but very different takes on the theme.

Hey game is cool and interesting, style is very nice and the mechanic has a lot of potential but the controls feel janky and hard to use

The combination of line connection puzzles and the concept of spatial opposites is brilliant, and the level design is excellent, allowing for puzzles to always have a solution despite the randomness of the game.
