Route arcane energy through a hex circuit board. Rotate tiles to connect pipes from Source to Endpoint and discover your own path through each puzzle. Rune Circuit is a minimalist puzzle game with deep progression. Start with simple straight and curved pipes, then master branching junctions, directional diodes, cascading ice runes, linked toggle pairs, and teleporting portals as you advance through 100+ levels across 7 chapters. Then come back tomorrow: the Daily Circuit serves one shared puzzle, identical for every player in the world. SIMPLE TO LEARN Tap a tile to rotate it. Line up the pipe openings between adjacent hexes. When endpoints connect, energy flows. Route it from SRC to END to complete the circuit. DEEP TO MASTER No two puzzles are the same. Boards are procedurally generated with multiple possible solutions, so creativity is always rewarded. Each chapter introduces a new mechanic that changes how you think about the board. 7 CHAPTERS OF PROGRESSION First Light: learn the fundamentals Branching Paths: splitters and junctions change everything Tight Quarters: denser boards, tighter routing The Gauntlet: two circuits, one board Arcane Runes: one-way diodes and dead-end traps Cascades: ice runes and toggle pairs create chain reactions The Deep Circuit: portals break spatial reasoning THE DAILY CIRCUIT A fresh puzzle every day, the same board for everyone. Easy Mondays build to brutal weekends. Keep your streak alive for growing flux bonuses and a spot on the leaderboard.
