About Rune Circuit
Route arcane energy through a hex circuit board. Rotate tiles to connect pipes from Source to Endpoint and find your way through each puzzle. Rune Circuit is a minimalist puzzle game with deep progression. Start with straight and curved pipes, then discover branching junctions, directional diodes, ice runes, linked toggle twins, and portals. Explore 100 levels across 7 chapters, with further levels beyond the first hundred. SIMPLE TO LEARN Tap a tile to rotate it. Line up the pipe openings between adjacent hexes. Route energy from SRC to END to complete the circuit. Later chapters ask you to connect two color-coded circuits on the same board. DEEP TO MASTER Procedurally generated boards bring fresh routing challenges. New mechanics change how you plan: follow a diode's direction, account for an ice rune's linked neighbor, turn toggle twins together, and send energy through paired portals. 7 CHAPTERS OF PROGRESSION First Light: learn the fundamentals Branching Paths: splitters, junctions, and sharper turns Tight Quarters: bigger boards and locked runes The Gauntlet: two circuits, one board Arcane Runes: one-way diodes and dead-end decoys Cascades: ice runes and toggle twins The Deep Circuit: paired portals THE LEVEL MAP Browse chapters on a honeycomb map with your best stars for each level. Replay cleared levels, improve your results, and earn flux for new stars. THE DAILY CIRCUIT A date-seeded puzzle for each local calendar day. Players on the same date and game version receive the same challenge. The weekly schedule moves from gentler Mondays to late-chapter mechanics on weekends, including portals on Sunday. Build a daily streak for growing flux bonuses and share your result. Completed dailies can be replayed for practice.
