✦ AI summary

Players appreciate this simple yet challenging puzzle game with charming visuals and engaging daily challenges that provide competitive replayability and keep them coming back regularly. Common complaints include technical issues with the game not running for some players, disappointment over removed features from earlier demo versions, and confusion around bonus selection mechanics that don't always feel meaningful or necessary. Most players find it a good value with solid core gameplay, though some wish for additional quality-of-life features or modes.

I still play this game almost daily depending on time. but its a good way of keeping my brain ticking. simple game to play hard to master. The daily challenge is where most regular players mess about with as you know ur competing against at least some real people.

Bit let down as I remember a demo version that had a tool that let you stretch the networking across a distance that would let bypass other wires and places that you was not able to get wires into but it looks like they dumbed down the game since then which is a shame. none the less still a good game and with the price can not complain.

A nice simple puzzle game with a fitting charmingly simple art style that gets across just what they need to sell the theme and to serve the puzzles well. Only issue I would have is the bonuses you get to pick, most of the time it wasn't a hard choice between the two, or I didn't want either. I was fine just getting on as is at that point so it was hard to gauge if I needed those bonuses.

Well I like it. It's a puzzle game, connect the red computers to the red server, etc etc.

This is my ultimate game. I love everything about it. I spend way too much time making my cables aesthetically pleasing despite this really only hurting my score, and also using the absolute minimum amount of cable. If it doesn't exist already I hope there can be a mode devoted to least amount of cable - I don't know because I'm too busy enjoying the other modes. A+ game!

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.
