Made for the Bigmode Game Jam 2025.

Warning! This game is buggy and may crash! If it does, please leave a comment about it so I may apologize profusely. I also didn't have the time to add music, so all you get is an (awesome) public domain tracker song.

You are a noble wizard's squire, employed to keep his magic mill running. But after some ongoing renovations, he has no wiring currently hooked up, and has asked you to do it even though you're more of an archer than an electrician! As if things couldn't get worse, are those goblins pounding on the doors?

Controls

• WASD - Move
• Mouse - Look
• Left Mouse - Fire or use equipped item
• Q - Change equipped item
• E - Use (Attach wire arrows, flip switches, open shop, etc.)
• M - Mute music
• Esc - Quit to main menu
• Enter - Skip the intro dialogue

Hints

• Keep the power on; the dark hurts you!
• With the wire arrow equipped, you can attach one end to a post and shoot it at another to connect them.
• You can pick up attached wire arrows from the post they are tied to.
• Be careful not to touch electrified wires, and don't shoot a live wire into yourself!
• Strategize where you connect wires so you don't trap yourself.
• Potions will bring you back to full health.

Known Bugs for Jam Version:

• Goblins spawned at right side get stuck (WebGL only)
• Sometimes cannot pick up wires attached to posts.
• The shop is completely broken (by extension, the elevator is useless as well) :(
• Goblin AI may crash the game randomly

Worked really hard on this... so finding these awful bugs was depressing. One day I'll fix them but there's definitely a lesson here in tempering your expectations...
