How it feels

A gentle, instructive puzzle game where you snap together visible glowing charges to satisfy a mildly annoyed Gustav Kirchhoff.

What players say

Players say this is a free educational puzzle game that teaches basic circuit theory. The controls are clunky and the voice acting is rough, but the humor from the professor character and the short length keep it from overstaying its welcome. It is best for people who already know a little electronics.
