This puzzle game has 6 playing modes which means there is 6 ways you can drive yourself crazy! The power lines are down and you have to connect the reserve battery to the battery on the other side, which is or was fully charged.

In at least one of the playing modes if the reserve battery runs out of juice, game over. In some ways this game is like Pipes, or Pipeline, because you do this by rotating chips with pipes on them till the circuit runs all the way across, using as many terminals as possible. The more terminals you use, the more points you get.

Time Trial is like it sounds, you need to generate the specified number of lightening bolts in the time allowed-the field is full of chips, you must work with what you got.

Action only has half the playing field full, and more drop, however now you have to make sure you don't get the field too full. In this mode you can move the falling pieces from side to side to help out. Strategy gives you a limited number of shots at completing the circuit, when your shots are done the game is over.

Wire is like Action, except the pieces are half the size and you can’t move them.

Double Wire might not be good for people that wear thick glasses, each piece has 2 wires on it and when you rotate them pieces, hehe gets confusing.

And Fighting is like Wire but when a chip falls, all the chips under it rotate, so that one could really drive you nuts.

The demo version is good for 60 minutes of play, then you must register the game.

This game would be good for the whole family!
