Game Play
Goal
The goal of this game is to use a limited number of batteries to light all the lightbulbs on each level.
Items
Lights
In this game the lightbulbs do not move.
Each lightbulb must be lit to beat the level.
Lightbulbs get energy through a purple connecting pipe.
You must place a battery or a conductor next to (or on top of) the purple connector to provide energy to the light.
Batteries
These can be used as mobile stands & are a source of power which can light lightbulbs & flow electricity through conductors.
If two batteries touch each other they short out & you lose the level.
Conductors
These can be used as mobile stands & they flow electricity across them so long as they are adjacent to a batter or are adjacent to another conductor which is adjacent to a battery.
If 2 different batteries connect through a series of conductors they will short out & you will lose the level.
Wooden Crates
These can be used as mobile stands & they block the flow of electricity across them.
General item advice
Any type of item can stack atop any other type of item.
You may only move items left or right into an open position.
If another object occupies the square you would like to move an item to then you can’t move it.
Whenever you move an item which has other items above it the items which were above it fall straight down to fill in the open space.
Levels
This game has 30 levels which are unlocked sequentially.
You can replay any previously beat level.
If you lose a level you can retry it an unlimited number of times.
Strategy
While you can always drop things down to a lower platform you can never lift things up. This means a lot of care should be taken before tossing things down to lower levels.
If you do not have enough batteries to light all the lightbulbs you will need to use capacitors to flow electricity across.
On many levels you need to use items as a temporary platform in one location & then move them across to another location after moving some other batteries, conductors or wooden crates across them.
Target Audience
The game is suited for players who like simple logic puzzle games.
The game has no adult themed content.
