Controls:
A and D to move left and right
W to jump
Left mouse button to click and drag wires to reconnect

Why would they have the cables so high up on the charger / battery? because its LD. I like the simplicity

That was very cool! Simple, frantic, fun. Great job introducing the player to the mechanics and then ramping up the difficulty. Also the story/dialog was a great touch. Only complaint was the music (loud and repetitive). Otherwise, this is the best entry I've played yet! Great job!

Concept was nice. Controls are ok. Decent game. My biggest issue with the game is the music. I think the game will be better without it. The dialogue was a bit annoying and the fonts are hard to read. I think a serious setting will be better. Overall, could be better

The gameplay is really fun. Simple and fun. Congratulations!
But the music is completely annoying

The game is hilarious, the concept is funny.

My only problem I had is that actually grabbing the cable is quite difficult and it feels it's maybe because the accuracy required to grab is too high.

I'm not sure if it's a bug but in the first level, you can actually jump on the sides from invisible platforms.

Great game otherwise!

Great game! But day 4 is very unfair, everything comes apart. Your music is really annoying, maybe if the game loop have a longer duration it could be better. Good job!

Wow. This is a very unusual game. Quite a bit of attention to detail too. I really appreciate what you tried to do here. I found grabbing cables a bit frustrating though.

Pretty good; a simple little game. There are a few problems that I found while playing:
- The stool simply gets in the way and makes it hard to plug wires back in.
- It can be very difficult to pick wires up off the ground, especially when they're moving.
- The green wire had a blue end..? I'm not sure if this is intentional.

I found the simple gameplay to be good. Was hard to pick up the wires sometimes. Thought the story was pretty good but didn't make it all the way to the end. Music was repetitive. I liked how you scaled the difficulty

The music was fun and it fit well with the game but the game was quite difficult to get past day 2.
