Rotate the wires. Route the power. Light up the circuit. Live Wire is a clean, neon puzzle game with 10,207 hand-built levels, from quick 4×3 warm-ups to sprawling 9×13 grids that will test your logic. Fully offline. No ads. No accounts. HOW TO PLAY Tap a tile to rotate it. Connect the generator to the destination with one unbroken path of wire. When the current flows, the board lights up with lightning, sparks and a burst of synth. Simple to learn in seconds, hard to master across thousands of levels. BEAT PAR, EARN 3 STARS Every level has a par: the fewest taps it can possibly be solved in. Match par for 3 stars, get close for 2. Replay any level to chase a new best, and watch your star total climb toward 30,621. FIVE TIERS OF DIFFICULTY - Easy – 832 levels to learn the flow - Medium – 1,388 levels as the grids grow - Hard – 2,145 levels with longer, twisting routes - Very Hard – 2,592 levels for seasoned solvers - Impossible – 3,250 levels on the biggest boards in the game Locked tiles can't be turned, dead ends lead nowhere, and every wrong turn costs you a move. Each tier unlocks level by level, so there's always a next puzzle waiting. PLAY YOUR WAY - Undo any move. Mistakes are free to fix, but par still counts every tap - Retry after a solve to improve your score - Quick interactive tutorial for new players - Dark or light mode - Turn animations and sound on or off - Progress saves automatically on your device MADE FOR FOCUS No timers, no lives, no energy bars and no ads interrupting your flow. Play one level on a coffee break or fifty on a long flight. Live Wire works completely offline and collects no data. If you love pipe puzzles, circuit and wiring games, logic grids or brain teasers, Live Wire is your next obsession. Plug in. Power up. Go live.

Wire up the chip. Siliconnect is a wire-routing puzzle: trace between pads with the same name to connect them. Wires can't cross, so you have to decide where each one goes, and in what order. Every wire you draw changes the paths left for the others. ■ 6 chapters, from silicon to circuit board Each chapter adds a new rule based on real chip design. • Diffusion — where polysilicon crosses diffusion, a transistor gate forms • M1 — a single metal layer, so wires can't cross • M1/M2 and vias — vertical and horizontal on separate layers; change layers to turn • Power — wide power lines block the routes next to them • Package — bond wires run from the die's pads to the leads without crossing • PCB — match the lengths of differential pairs and avoid long parallel runs ■ Find the shortest route Each clear is rated S, A, or B by total wire length. Find the shortest wiring and collect S ranks. ■ Build logic gates from transistors In LAYOUT mode, wire transistors to build NOT, NAND, NOR, AND, and OR gates. Turn every row of the truth table green to finish. ■ Learn while you play Each main-game stage you clear shows a short fact about semiconductors. Each chapter opens with how its rule is used in real design. ■ What's inside • Main game: 6 chapters × 10 stages (60 stages) • Endless mode, unlocked by clearing every chapter (100 stages) • LAYOUT mode for building logic gates (5 gates) • Hints when you're stuck (one free hint per stage; more by watching an ad) • English and Japanese Some parts of real chip design are simplified so they can be played as a game. Each chapter's "In real chips" section explains the differences. Siliconnect is free and shows ads. No account is needed, and your progress is stored on your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Live Wire at none against Siliconnect's shown. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
