Tiny circuits. Big sparks.
Build circuits, solve real-world problems, and learn electronics in a cozy sandbox sim.
Circuit Master is a simulator inviting you to explore your inner curiosity. Step into the shoes of our child prodigy protagonist. Experiment with a variety of electrical components. Solve real-world problems. You are encouraged to fail spectacularly, each time getting closer to the solution. Learn how electrical circuits work through a series of challenges. Use this knowledge to bring your wild ideas into life.
Giddily Porch
Giddy for short, an 11-year-old child who is truly a child prodigy. She has above average intelligence and is well-read for her age. She dresses and generally looks like an adult reduced to the proportions of a child.
Crispy
The hamster helper and main sidekick. As the plot develops he becomes increasingly more indispensable to Giddy. At one point, he introduces the player with the hamster wheel which generates energy for experiments.
🧪 Challenges based on experiential learning
Game presents the player with a problem and a set of tools to solve it. Instead of guiding players towards a solution, they are encouraged to explore their ideas with a fail fast, fail often attitude. Through that process they get a better understanding of the problem, learning how to utilize the tools and arrive at a solution.
🔧 Physically accurate circuit simulation
Circuits are assembled using SPICE simulator, providing a physically accurate model of a circuit. This allows players to explore and understand the properties and concepts behind electronics.
🌍 Real life examples and applications
The game consists of a specific set of problems. Challenges are based on real life situations - e.g. "my phone battery is dead but I lost my charger, I wonder if I could build my own". This makes problems relatable and solutions more fulfilling.
🐹 Cosy atmosphere
Game is designed to be warm and welcoming. The goal is making players feel comfortable while experimenting. Our protagonist Giddily and her hamster helper Crispy, depicted in a colorful and playful art style, invite players to spend time trying different ideas.
