This is a Puzzle game. Manually control the Switchboxes so that the wires only get as hot as necessary to carry the electricity through. Certain wires are shorter, but can't handle as much.
Level 1 seems to be a demonstration of the rules while level 2 is when the game actually starts. Getting a 2/3 on something you have no control over doesn't feel great, but in the grand scheme, it's minor.
I didn't have much of a strat beyond "keep the short wire loaded, detour the rest". Based on the graded scoring, there must be a better way to do it, I just don't know what that is.
A strong entry, and you'll grow as you continue to jam.

Thanks very much for playing! My intended goal was to get to give the player enough options to complete each level relatively easy but in order to get 3 fuses they needed to overload certain wires and speed up the electric so I'm glad you found that method successfull.
I completely agree with what you're saying about level 1. It was mainly put there as a tutorial but the fact you only get 2/3 fuses without pressing buttons might mean there is a way to alter the electric and achieve 3/3 on a second playthrough once you know the controls. Maybe go back and give level 1 another go knowing how to control the switches!
