I only ended up having 8 hours, so I reduced my scope quite a bit.

You have 10 seconds to disarm the time-bomb. There are 5 levels of progressing difficulty.

Each wire has a simple calculation effect on the power level. The power level and target power level are different on each of the 5 play levels. A new wire is introduced each play level until all 5 wires are affecting the result.

Keys:
1 - toggles blue wire effect
2 - toggles green wire effect
3 - toggles red wire effect
4 - toggles cyan wire effect
5 - toggles yellow wire effect

space - starts next level

I can't figure out what to do. On the first level I win if I fill up the green bar, but on the second one filling up the green bar loses?

Wow, impressive for 8 hours! If I get this right, each wire has a specific effect and you have 10 seconds to get the green bar to where the arrow points? Nice design! I really enjoyed it. 4/5

Thanks. Yes each wire has a simple calculation effect on the power level. The power level and target power level are different on each of the 5 play levels. A new wire is introduced each play level until all 5 wires are affecting the result.

Not bad for eight hours. It would be nice to be able to restart the same level if you lose instead of going all the way back to the beginning.

A little hard to understand the interface, but nice idea.

Yea, I am not sure what I am supposed to be doing. Is there a target power level for each level. Does it say anywhere in the game what power level we are trying to get for each level?

Nevermind, now I realize that its the arrow to the left of the power gauge.

Short, but not bad, especially for 8 hours.

I can't understand what to do. Passed to the fourth level, but I have no idea what I did right or wrong. Would be nice to get a better explanation on how to play it.
Though it's a nice job for 8 hours.
