Suggestions:
* Add simple sound effects for user interaction
* Zoom out and in at each 'level' transition for a better sense of progress
Bugs:
* Help text was cut off in my browser in the second intro screen
* Switches were always pointed up/left so I never had to think about it, just press 'a'
I never had to encounter symbolic and / or gates but with a bit of practice I was able to go far in the game.
The keybinding is weird for me though, playing on AZERTY, I'm happy this was not too much an issue as the game doesn't force you to rush once you encounter a gate. A remapping option would have been great, or an alternate key on the numpad: 1234
Thanks for the game!
I got a high score of about 1200, then I stumbled on a collection of gates and my energy was super low. So I spammed different solutions and got my score down to 700 when I lost all my energy..
I could see this kind of thing being used in school to teach students about logic gates. I can see myself coming back to this whenever I need a refresher on logic gates. It really taught me to be intuitive.
Thanks for the experience !

### Edit
I linked this to my computer scientist friend. He got at score of 10250. He enjoyed it even though he found it trivial. We need a computer scientist difficulty mode on this game! :wink:

It was great for a game mad in 2 days, though!
