About Kirchhoff's Revenge
Gustav Kirchhoff is annoyed because nobody appreciates his circuit laws! You get transported to his secret lair and won't be able to get out until you show mastery!
The first-person game "Kirchhoff's Revenge" teaches the basic concepts of electrical circuits; players need to solve puzzles by assembling macroscopic circuit elements such as batteries, light bulbs, wires, volt meters, and ampere meters. These circuit elements snap together into functional, three-dimensional structures. Moving "charges" are indicated, so as opposed to real circuit elements, currents are visible. Puzzles increase in difficulty and complexity, while side rooms and pre-assembled circuits offer opportunities to learn new concepts.
Game play is strictly based on solving puzzles, there are no dexterity or timed challenges. Once players succeed, they actually get a Schwarzwälderkirschtorte, which they may dispose off as they see fit. The cake is not a lie.
The game has been used in physics courses at the high school and introductory college level, and it is now made available as Early Access to the wider community.

✦ AI summary
Kirchhoff's Revenge is praised for its educational approach to circuit building and physics puzzles, with stylish minimalist design and engaging difficulty progression that challenges players' logical thinking. However, players note that excessive walking and backtracking between levels slows down pacing, and some feel the game could benefit from more interactive feedback or personality from characters during gameplay.
Love receiving verbal abuse from Kirchhoff himself. 10/101 found this helpful

Игра "Kirchhoff's Revenge" – это увлекательная головоломка, которая заставит вас вспомнить школьный курс физики, а именно – законы Кирхгофа. Идея игры проста: нужно построить цепь, чтобы обеспечить энергией определенные устройства. На первый взгляд кажется легко, но сложность постепенно нарастает, вводя в схемы конденсаторы, катушки индуктивности и транзисторы, заставляя поломать голову над правильным подбором сопротивлений и другими параметрами. Что мне понравилось: оригинальная концепция, сочетающая игровую механику с образовательными элементами. Игра отлично подходит для тех, кто хочет потренировать логическое мышление и вспомнить основы электротехники. Стильный, минималистичный дизайн и приятная музыка создают расслабляющую атмосферу, несмотря на напряженность задач. Разнообразие уровней и постепенное усложнение геймплея держат в тонусе и мотивируют двигаться дальше. Что можно улучшить: хотелось бы больше интерактивных туториалов для новичков, подробно разъясняющих применение каждого элемента в цепи. Иногда не хватает подробных объяснений почему цепь не работает, что вынуждает прибегать к методу "проб и ошибок". В целом, "Kirchhoff's Revenge" – это достойная и интересная голо…

As someone who knows electronics it is a good game to teach some basics, just takes a long time to go through with all the walking around. Would have liked to see some reaction from the professor with the potatoes being put in the turlet :D
