I was afraid it wouldn't fit the theme at all, but in the end, I was mistaken !
A good game, even though it lacks a little text to indicate which voltage is required for each tower ( it feels a bit random )...

Yeah my take on the theme was both direct and abstract. You're turning on lights which is directly related, but you're also taking batteries on / off towers and moving them around which is my abstract take on the theme.
Glad you enjoyed the game and the feedback about showing voltages is one I've received a lot, definitely need to look into that improvement after the jam.
amazing man
made sure to give a rating!
can you check out my game to?

Search and HideThis is such a slick little puzzle game, really well done, and a completely original take on the theme! I really love it, and I look forward to checking out anything you do in the future.
And if you haven't had a chance to check out my game Foxy Boom Boxy, I would appreciate any feedback, thanks!

Foxy Boom BoxyEnjoyed it, I think that showing required voltages + adding some sound effects and animations could make the game sweeter. Good job!

Junior ElectricianShort and sweet, without being too complicated. Of course I would like to have the required voltage of each tower revealed but someone also recommended to do without the steps counter.
I'd say keep the steps counter.

ON OR NOT?Really interesting concept, but you could have made that the power you have to deliver on each pole has its voltage written as value X+-Y like if you want a tower that needs 8V minimum, and would overheat at 12V, you could have it written like 10+-2, or just have either minimal-8V, optimal-10V or overheat-12V value without +-, because you encourage us to make it in as few moves as possible(which is exacly the Tower of Hanoi), but I spent like half of the time figuring out how much voltage does each pole need, which was a bit tedious

Musical ChaosThanks for the feedback, this will definitely help me stay closer to the ToH roots. The current overheating mechanic is even simpler than +/-, there's just a minimum voltage and you overheat at twice that. I felt quite restricted by the current system so I look forward to experimenting with this after the jam!
This was quite fun! That last level was a real doozy!
I don't think there's anything wrong with the target voltages being hidden, per se. Figuring out the required powers is fun. I think the problem is that prompting the player to do it in "the fewest moves" and then obfuscating the end goal feels kind of bad: every inquiry is framed as lost time.
All in all, very good work!

Logic Bulb Adventurecool concept but could use a sound effect when you take the batteries on/off the pegs and when a page is complete/over heating p.s can you check out my game pls https://itch.io/jam/gdevelop-game-jam-4/rate/2208939 ratings are greatly appreciated

A light in the darkawesome and addictive. Showd how much fun u can have with a simple concept. I loved the music. Kinda trippy. Did u make it?

Lost Bot 64Glad you liked the game, I'm looking forward to expanding on the concept in the future. The music is from Steven Melin, I'll be sure to add a Credits button after the jam when I clean everything up. In the meantime you can see more of his work at https://www.stevenmelin.com/game-music-treasury
Nice little game, well done :)
Would you mind taking a moment to check out my game as well and provide a rating? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. Game Link

Color ChaosEnjoyed playing the game ! :D
i was able to get to level 3 :0
it's really fun to play and figure what to place on top of what :3
well made !

Switch PuzzleGood puzzle game. It would be nice to see how much power the tower needs below them. This would help planning better.
Submitted
Turn On The Green LightsCool concept, I love a good relaxing puzzle! I was a bit confused at first that all towers seemed to overheat at different voltages, but once I understood it, figuring out that information was part of the fun. I had a good time!
Submitted
Grand Robo Card ChampionshipAddictive. It is necessary to think because each tower requires a different voltage. The graphics and presentation could use some work, but as an idea it's really, really fun.
