WireTap is a circuit hacking puzzle game. Your goal is to rotate wires to run power to different machines. Open doors and activate elevators to reach new areas. Be careful around those turrets!

I like this puzzler, it is an interesting take on the “connect the power by rotating wires” type of game. I think that it was an inspired idea to have the player running around in the level and able to change the world as you go. I also thought that the pacing of the introduction of new mechanics and complexity was very well done. Unfortunately, the game crashes consistently in the ninth level when I try do disconnect the mess of wires in the top right from power. I would guess some kind of infinite loop, but I was unable to find a sequence of wires that did not cause a loop as I disconnected them, and there was a loop before I disconnected the last one with no issues. Despite the fact that I only got to the ninth level I really enjoyed this game; I would love to be able to play more of it. Well done!
This is a fun puzzle with a bunch of potential. I really liked it.
That first turret really startled me. I didn't see it coming. The levels progressed well. The only instruction I needed was that I had to click on wires.
Best puzzle game I've played this jam I think. Knowing how much effort level design can take, I am quite impressed! Controls feel smooth, the audio does its job very well. Good job!
Bravo! This is a wonderful entry. So polished, the game design is super good. The only thing I have to complain about is that relative to other sounds, the turrets are LOUD, so the first time they fire is pretty alarming. But that's _the_ only issue I can think of. If this idea was expanded on, I would pay money to play this on my phone. You should be very proud. Nicely done.
Very cool puzzle game, it's a shame you don't have that many ratings! I really like the lighting and shadows (even though it can be a bit difficult to see unpowered wires sometimes), and you managed to create an interesting atmosphere despite the lack of soundtrack.
The puzzle themselves are just the right amount of difficulty to me and were fun to resolve. Good job on this compo submission! ✌
(btw, the game seemed to crash when I died, except during the end room)
Very surprised by this one, smooth and responsive gameplay, satisfying easing. Quick to pick up puzzle game that got me finishing it. Sorta reminded me of, a teleglitch style game graphically, a big win in my book. Puzzles weren't too difficult though, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. All-in-all, I'm impressed, well done :)
Fantastic mood lighting, very fun puzzle solving, turrets that make me jump out of my seat, great job. Only problem, it did crash on me, so be sure to iron out those technical details if you want to take it farther, which you absolutely should because this is great.

Well done!
btw I was able to rotate a turret in the last level, is it intended or a bug?
