we opened a battery and it’s doing way more than it looks 🔋stuff inside is pushing electrons. other stuff is pulling them in. that’s what keeps everything running ⚡did you know a AA battery moves *billions* of electrons every second? how long do you think it lasts? 👀
one of the funny things about electronics is that components rarely fail because they’re doing nothing.
they usually fail because they’re doing too much.
a lightbulb is happy right up until the filament gets hotter than it was meant to be 💡🔥
turns out even electrons need a sense of moderation

10,000 wishlists is a strange milestone.
As a number, it feels abstract. Just digits on a screen.
Then you see 10,000 people standing together and suddenly it hits you that every wishlist is a real person who took a moment to say, “I’d like to play this.”
That’s a pretty special feeling. 💛🐹⚡
voltage is basically the “push” behind electricity ⚡
think of electrons like tiny ants on a slide 🐜
bigger slide = bigger push
we’re slowly turning electronics into playground metaphors and honestly it’s working 👀
a lightbulb is one of those inventions that sounds complicated until you look inside 💡
it's mostly just a tungsten wire getting absurdly hot
electricity flows through it ⚡
the wire resists
the wire glows
that's the trick
also, most of the energy becomes heat, not light 👀
Crispy Circuits is part of the Games from Croatia Steam Sale 🇭🇷🐹
Still a bit surreal seeing our cozy electronics game alongside so many great Croatian indie projects.
If you're into games that teach you something while letting a hamster make questionable engineering decisions, this one's for you 💛
we’re making a cozy game where you repair an RC plane for your hamster 🐹✈️
and somewhere along the way you accidentally learn real electronics
the circuits actually work IRL
which feels slightly irresponsible honestly ⚡
a lightbulb is one of those things that feels way more complicated than it actually is 💡
electricity flows through a tiny filament
the filament gets incredibly hot
and starts glowing
honestly, a surprising amount of technology becomes less scary once you open it up and look inside ⚡🐹

tell us plain and simple: is it that obvious we are trying to post at least SOMETHING until we develop the game substantially enough to have gameplay footage?
spoiler: this is gameplay footage! our whole schtick is for the game to teach you how circuits work, hope we'll get you there 🤞

electricity needing a full loop to work is somehow one of those things that instantly makes the whole universe feel more understandable ⚡
tiny electron ants walk the tunnel 🐜
gap in the tunnel = no movement
that loop is a circuit
