How does your game bring our theme, Systems Offline, to life?
The lines are down. Turn triangles to shift colors until the system is back online.

What did you do to ensure accessibility of the game?
The home screen explains the game in three short bullets. On the board, a one-line reminder of the controls and the goal stays visible.
Controls match device: on a phone, tap and long-press. With a mouse, left-click and right-click. The on-screen instructions change to match.
See your progress at every step: links light up as soon as their nodes match, and ports fill when a whole line is back online.
No timer, no pressure. Restart puts the puzzle back to its start, and Show solution plays the shortest solution for anyone who’s stuck.
Four board sizes: from a gentle Small to a demanding XL.
The game scales to the window, works in portrait on a phone, and remembers a game in progress.

Did you include the Indieformer or Patch Notes logo somewhere in your game?

Yes

If AI was used in your game, let us know how you used it.
AI wrote the puzzle generator and solver, assisted with complex geometry (to save time), and created screen mock-ups under the developer's direction.

I really liked it. But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with this gamejam, idk. This author had already created very similar games prior to this competition.

Thank you, Владик, for playing the game and liking it. This game was conceived after the theme was announced and was 100% made for this particular jam.
