HELLOOO DEVFORUM! I’m TheGreatTrialBegins 
Okay, so it took me the whole day but i finally made it! An electricity-themed grid puzzle game, and I need some help to make it more challenging. A friend gave me this idea and i said “hey, maybe it will look cool for my horror game” but i dont know how to adapt to it (i’d like a feedback for this too). Here’s a brief overview of how it currently works:
We have: Grid: 5x5 grid with cells that can be Batteries (B), Conductors (C), Insulators (I), Targets (T), Dynamic Cells (D), Multipliers (M), or Reversers (R).
Description of each type:
- Batteries send electricity in four directions when activated.
- Conductors allow electricity to pass through.
- Insulators stop electricity.
- Targets need to be powered to win the game.
- Dynamic Cells can randomly switch between conductor and insulator when electricity passes through them.
- Multipliers send electricity in all directions once before turning into insulators.
- Reversers change the direction of electricity flow.
AND FINALLY, WHAT I WANT TO FIX:
Players can win by simply clicking two batteries, which makes the puzzle feel too easy. Here’s what I’ve done to make it slightly harder:
- Each battery now only has one activation.
- Some conductors turn into insulators after use.
- The puzzle difficulty increases every 5 moves by changing some conductors to dynamic cells or insulators. (this isnt actually in use since we can win the game by doing 2 clicks :c )
- We also have other problem, if i click the center battery i can make the game impossible, but dont worry ill add a reset circuit button!
I’d really appreciate any constructive feedback, ideas for making the puzzle harder, or even just sharing experiences from similar projects. Thanks in advance for your time!
This is how the circuits look by default:
