About

VoltPath

Features
Read full description

VoltPath is the untangling puzzle that fits the in-between minutes of your day. A tangle of glowing wires lands on your screen. Tap one dot, tap another, and they swap places. Untangle every wire until the whole circuit lights up. That's the whole game, and it feels wonderful on the second try and the two-hundredth. It's made for the kettle-boiling, school-run, one-more-before-bed moments. A puzzle takes minutes. Put the phone down mid-puzzle and VoltPath keeps your place, moves and all. Pick it back up in portrait or landscape, exactly where you left it. WHAT'S WAITING FOR YOU · Daily Circuit. One new puzzle every day, the same one for everyone, generated on your device and ready offline. Finish it and your stats stay posted until tomorrow's tangle arrives at midnight UTC. · Light the City. Twelve hand-built campaign levels, each teaching one new skill: tracing a wire, spotting self-crossings, working around fixed terminals. Finish a level to unlock the next, and revisit old favorites to beat your best. · Free Play. Easy, Medium, or Hard tangles whenever you want a puzzle that isn't part of anything. · Hints that nudge, never spoil. The first tap lights up a wire. The second suggests a swap. You still make the move, and Undo is always welcome for exploring ideas. · Your Progress. Personal bests, milestones, and three circuit themes. Neon from your first puzzle, then Amber and Aurora as you play. · Result cards. Share your move count and the starting tangle with friends. Your solution stays secret, so they get the puzzle, not the answer. · Comfort controls. Adjustable audio and haptics, plus Reduce Motion support. VoltPath is a small, bright place to put your brain down for five minutes. Your circuit is waiting. Find your next bright idea. Download VoltPath.
