Made in about 4 hours. C/C++ source included in the windows zip.

Web version is hastily emscripted, and has no audio; webGL also doesn't support thick lines. Apart from those differences the gameplay is the same.

(You can watch the youtube vid for demo of the audio and thick wires)

Very nice idea. I esp. like that you can move the lines with the mouse.
And the music getting nervous when time is running low.

Good one!

This game perfectly suits the theme, because you have 10 seconds to do something you can actually do in 10 seconds :)

This is awesome and straightforward. There's something very satisfying about tracing the line from the top to the correct place at the bottom. Such a simple concept... perfect for LD.

I wish there were some more complex things introduced later, instead of just getting more "tangled". You could have to cut multiple wires, wires in a specific order, etc.

Overall, cool game!

I reached level 18. Pretty good entry. Love the simplicity and it's quite fun

This is simple but clever, and I had some fun with it. I especially like the way the music builds as I fumble around horribly. The way the wires move around is also some of the coolest "tech" I've seen in the jam so far! :)

HAHA nice. I got to the end and had a few correct after that but took me a few tries. GJ!

That was very cool, I love the way the wires jiggle if you try to trace them!

That was really fun, even on the web version. Nice job!

Needed something just a bit more. Clever idea though.

Nice idea, liked it. Liked the emscripten version too, nice use of it =D but difficulty ramps up a lot right after level 20 in the web version, more because the bottom sections of a lot of wires end up looking pretty connected, and moving the cables didn't help making any of these distinguishable.

Really nice. Love the sway of the wires.

Very cool game. I like the waving of the wires very much makes it quite difficult to follow the blue wire.
After level 20 it gets really hard.
