"Power the whole circuit. Circix: Rewired is a modern logic puzzle inspired by Bridges (Hashi). Swipe between aligned nodes to draw wires, match the number on every node, and join the whole board into one powered circuit. THE RULES • Connect nodes horizontally or vertically. • Match each node's number exactly. • Wires cannot cross. • Every node must belong to the same circuit. A CAMPAIGN THAT EVOLVES Progress through 100 chapters, each containing 10 puzzles. Unlock larger boards, tougher connection rules, new Puzzle Library modes, and watch the Circix logo restore as your campaign grows. THREE WAYS TO THINK • Simple: one wire between nodes. • Advanced: up to two parallel wires. • Expert: up to three parallel wires. PLAY YOUR WAY Solve 3x3, 5x5, and 7x7 boards, use hints when you need a nudge, undo mistakes, track your statistics and streak, and relax with a synthwave soundtrack. Easy to learn. Increasingly challenging. Can you power every circuit?"
