Cool little game
I wanted to do something like this initially, but couldn't figure out how to actually implement it, props for making this work!
This is a neat concept and would make a good mobile game.
Suggestions:
* Add simple sound effects for user interaction * Zoom out and in at each 'level' transition for a better sense of progress
Bugs:
* Help text was cut off in my browser in the second intro screen * Switches were always pointed up/left so I never had to think about it, just press 'a'
Today I learn :)
I never had to encounter symbolic and / or gates but with a bit of practice I was able to go far in the game.
The keybinding is weird for me though, playing on AZERTY, I'm happy this was not too much an issue as the game doesn't force you to rush once you encounter a gate. A remapping option would have been great, or an alternate key on the numpad: 1234
Thanks for the game!
This is really cool. Have fun while learning the boolean logic gate symbols.
Nice Job! The sounds were great. My only critique is that because the spark moved at a fast pace on the wires, I felt pressure to try to solve the 2 level - inverted sets fast, leading to guessing instead of thinking.
Noice game here!
Cool ideas. It can be education game. :)
Nice game. The fact there is a timer (or there seems to be) wasn't clear at first but apart from that is was kinda fun
It's a bit dull but the idea behind is smart and the overall quality is preatty solid. Needs more gameplay!
Really nice and simple idea of using logic gates as gameplay, fits the theme perfectly, but user interaction could be done a little better. Overall awesome game. Good Job!
I love this! It's **polished** and **easy to understand**.
I got a high score of about 1200, then I stumbled on a collection of gates and my energy was super low. So I spammed different solutions and got my score down to 700 when I lost all my energy..
I could see this kind of thing being used in school to teach students about logic gates. I can see myself coming back to this whenever I need a refresher on logic gates. It really taught me to be intuitive.
Thanks for the experience !

I linked this to my computer scientist friend. He got at score of 10250. He enjoyed it even though he found it trivial. We need a computer scientist difficulty mode on this game! :wink:

Fun though it reminded me i should study logic gates again :P,great game overall.
The concept is nice, the audio and art are okay. However it becomes really easy once you get the hang of it. A suggestion would be to add more complex puzzles with more logic gates or maybe add a timer for each group of gates.
It was great for a game mad in 2 days, though!
Nice work! It looks decent and it's a nice puzzle game. My only gripe would be that it's very hard to get into for someone who doesn't know what the logic gate symbols mean. Not a problem for me, but someone else might bump into that.
As @binaryspark said, if you don't know these symbols it's rather complicated to get the game. Well made though!
Very creative. Sound effects are nice, if you managed to put in some minimalistic music that would add a lot to the game. You're lucky that most people here know what that symbols even mean :) Cheers!
Nice simple game, really helps you remember boolean logic, does become quite easy as you keep ending up with the same puzzles, might me nice if you got more and more complicated setups as you get a higher score.
It's a fun way to relearn the logic symbols I had forgotten :D I like the simplistic, clean, artstyle, it really fits the mechanic. Great job!
Nice! A pleasant surprise, and a good refresher for the logic gate symbols. Hmmm, I could see there being a beginner's mode where there's no time pressure and it lights up the outputs as the inputs change state (to help facilitate experimentation).
@austinspafford Thanks!! Yes I had a similar thought in mind for an easy mode. I wanted to have a better tutorial as well. But ran out of time for all those things. After the competition ends I'll add those.
