Circuit Makers

Circuit Makers is a tile-matching puzzle game inspired by the likes of Panel de Pon and Virtual Lab. You play as Circe, a quirky electrician, who's been tasked with facing an ever-rising stack of electrically-charged battery blocks. If the blocks reach the top of the playing grid, it's game over; the only way to clear them is by connecting blocks of matching color together into a closed circuit shape. These circuits can be as small as two-by-two squares, or span the perimeter of the entire playing field.

If a circuit happens to enclose any blocks inside it, they'll be charged with power, and award more points when used as part of a closed circuit in the future. Blocks can be charged up to four times, and when combined with a timing-based chain system that rewards smart planning and quick play through building multiple sequential currents, these tools will prove invaluable toward aiming for a high score.

The game features a five-song soundtrack composed by Erika Rivers, as well as four different difficulty settings. These settings alter the amount of block colors in play as once, alongside a special type of block that can't be used to build circuits and must be enclosed for its current-resistant casing to be removed. Individual high scores are saved for each difficulty, so pick your favorite format and try to beat your best!

Circuit Makers was made for the Falling Block Jam 2025.
