How it feels
A calm, methodical puzzle game where you connect colored houses to power plants on a grid, with randomly generated levels that gradually increase in complexity.

What players say
Players describe it as a relaxing optimization puzzle where you reroute wires between randomly placed houses. Many compare it to a turn-based Mini Motorways or a topological exercise, though some find the early levels overwhelming and others note the late-game puzzles become brutally difficult.
