Very well done, and very well polished. I honestly can't come up with any constructive criticism right now, I really feel like you knocked it out of the park.
EDIT: So the only minor detail I can see is that on level 1 it tells you you can place wires with right-click and erase them with left, when it seems to be the other way around. Other than that, perfect :slight_smile:
As for those other categories, wow. The puzzle mechanic is simple enough to be explained through gameplay, yet complicated enough to have some head-scratching puzzles, sitting in the sweet zone where the puzzles rarely feel too hard or too easy. The graphics also evoke old games like Chip's Challenge, providing a strong artstyle from limited resources. There's also a surprising amount of length for a 72 hour game. If this had released in the 80s, it'd be known as a retro classic!
If you plan on continuing development, you might wanna colorcode recievers and the blocks that dissapear, to make it easier.

Really cool game, very well polished, the puzzles are nice and the music is fun too!
Having said that, the core mechanic in puzzle games is often the key part, and I found yours innovative and interesting, which is shown in the great levels you have. Great job!
