Charge! (2020)

There is a lot of game here for a very low price. 5 hours in and I have barely managed half the levels. The mechanics are good. Charges move consistently, so often a solution is to create a lucky path rather than using control elements. The challenges are quite varied tasking you in different ways. At times it is frustrating and at times rewarding. The graphics are rather crude and simple, music is meh and the interface is acceptable. No bugs or crashes. Runs fine on Linux. My main problem with these types of games, is I find them too short, but this isn’t an issue here. The developers put in a lot of content. The sub-circuits are well made and fit naturally in the game. Overall, it’s a challenging game that should keep you entertained for quite some time for a pittance. Additional: Completed after 50 hours. The level design is outstanding. Willing to pay for more.

Don't let the serviceable UI fool you, this is a fun puzzle game where you can also optimize your solutions. I am currently halfway through World 2, and that is where the puzzles of making more charge from limited resources come into play.
