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.

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.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: LightX at none against Rune Circuit's shown. LightX also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
