PocketCircuit 1.0

Short circuit components on a circuit board

The object of this game is to remove all components from a circuit board by short circuiting matching components before time runs out. If these conditions are met components can be removed:

Components can only be removed in pairs
Components must match (color and symbol)
Components must have a circuit

There will be a circuit between two components if there are no other components in the path between the two. The path can be of any length, but it can have at most three straight line segments and two 90 degree changes in its direction.

The game has 24 levels of increasing difficulty, where the board will grow from 4x4 to 10x10 components. In addition to this you can choose from four different modes:

Easy: Time for each level is 50% more than the number of components
Standard: Time for each level is 25% more than the number of components
Difficult: Time for each level equals the number of components
Impossible: Time for each level is 25% less than the number of components

There are also two types of gadgets: The Zapper and the Screwdriver. The Zapper will remove a randomly selected pair of matching components, regardless of if there is a circuit between the two or not. The Screwdriver will enable you to choose which pair of matching components will be removed when there is no circuit between them. But be careful when using the gadgets, they are limited in their numbers.
