Great implementation of the theme! Are the levels randomly generated? They get quite hard to look at around 30, and it seems like sometimes there are weird really easy ones that just pop up.
Pretty good game. I am a bit confused how the level counter works. It seemed to be randomly incrementing itself. Other than that, this is a solid entry
Cool idea. I as well am confused about some of the levels. Some seem to not make sense.
Clear use of theme and lots of levels with a fair challenge.
Pretty challenging in the later levels, and a lot of fun, simple concept done well, nice job!
pretty dang fun, some overlaps later got a little hard to understand though due to.... self overlapping?
Tense puzzle game. The difficulty curve is a bit weird but I like it actually, it adds to the tension.
after level 6 or so, all the white lines disappeared and i could just pull the plug on the remaining line. was that intentional?
Great minds think alike! I actually like your implementation better than mine. I could see this being a mini-game inside a larger game when you have to unlock a door or something!
Nice puzzle game. I think there are a couple of bugs in the (what I assume is) automatic level generation, but I admire the attempt.
great take on the theme! the minimalist design really added to the experience
There is something about the way the plugs respond to hover and clicks that's just very satisfying. The early hand crafted levels are good. Thing get tricky with the overlapping in the later stages.
@BMacIntosh, @kevinAlbs, @Infernal, @siat, You're absolutely right; you would expect the wires in the random levels to not backtrack upon themselves and to cross each other perpendicularly. Your insightful observation confirms I can improve that part of the program which I failed to solve during the weekend.
@pythong, That does feel out of order; you would expect to adjust the difficulty to introduce more complicated levels sooner.
@shohs, Good point! You would expect the level counter to go up by one, or at least to be able to guess why the level counter is changing.
It's nice to find a game that I can just pick up and play without having to either download or read 20 paragaph instruction manual! This is really simple and original, and fun. I like it. The other commenters have already pointed out the small flaws which could be improved upon so no point me rehashing it. Well done.
Well-done. Quite challenging, that's a concentration-demanding one.
Surprisingly addictive for how simple it is! Really enjoyed it.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Wow I love the gameplay ! I also like the progression of the difficulty. I keep exploding after 11-12 levels ;)
