Circuit

Close the loop. Clear the board. CIRCUIT is a glowing neon puzzle about electricity: a block puzzle with a spark. Drag wire pieces onto an 8×8 board, close a circuit into a loop and watch it light up, charge and blast away. Easy to learn, hard to master and beautiful to play. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Relaxing puzzle gameplay at your own pace • Satisfying neon effects: glowing wires, chain reactions, electric blasts • Smart and strategic: plan ahead, build combos, keep the board open • Works offline: solo play needs no internet (duels do) • Unlock 50+ looks just by playing: circuit colors, board styles, tile sets, backdrops, finger trails and blast effects. Hold any option to preview it. HOW IT WORKS Drop pieces of wire on the board. When a circuit closes into a loop, it discharges and clears itself and the tiles around it. Chain loops in a row to build a combo and multiply your score. Plan ahead, or the board fills up and the power goes out. GAME MODES • QUICK PLAY: an endless puzzle with three difficulties (Easy, Normal, Hard). Beat your best score and climb the leaderboard. • JOURNEY: 300 handcrafted levels in 30 sectors with locks, ice and Power Nodes. Earn up to 3 stars on every level. • DAILY CIRCUIT: a new challenge every day, the same for everybody. Keep your streak alive. • DUEL: race a friend for the higher score, or play a 3-minute LIVE DUEL at the same time and send locks onto your rival's board. Invite with a link or a 6-letter code, and ask for a rematch. CHAIN CURRENT AND STORM NIGHT • When a loop goes off, the current jumps to open circuits nearby. Close a charged circuit in time to multiply your points. Plan your dominoes! • Now and then a storm rolls in: a cell is marked and lightning strikes a few moves later. Close a loop right beside it to catch the bolt and trigger a SUPER BLAST. FAIR AND FRIENDLY • No pop-up ads. A small banner may appear on the result screen, and optional reward videos let you continue a run or get a bonus. • One small purchase removes ads for good and makes every bonus free. • Nothing is for sale except that: every look is earned by playing. • Game Center leaderboards and achievements, plus iCloud save for your progress. • 11 languages: English, Türkçe, Deutsch, Italiano, Français, Русский, Nederlands, Español, Português (Brasil), 日本語 and 한국어. Circuit is made by Fre4 Studios. Questions or ideas? Write to fre4dev@gmail.com.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Circuit at every 4 days against OverLit's every 3 weeks. Circuit also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
