If you tap the PDA icon in the lower left corner or the About menu, you are taken to the About page.

    Tapping the musical notes or the speaker icon (in the lower right hand corner) will mute/unmute the music and/or in-game sounds. Sadly, there isn't any way to adjust the volume in-game.

    We'll skip the New Game menu until the Let's Play section. So on to the Top Scores - which shows the current list of high scores, the user name, and level. Tapping Clear will reset the Top Scores table (and will do so without any sort of verification).

    Next is the Help menu. Which takes you through several pages of what could be considered a tutorial on the game.

 

  Finally is the Exit selection, which will return you back to your PocketPC.

LET'S PLAY!
    On to this "brain-macho, super geek, rocket scientist and Albert Einstein" style gaming that Ballshooter is talking about. After you click New Game, the lights go out and you are informed that it is your job to bring the power back up.

 

After tapping the screen, you see the actual game screen. The gameplay area is to the left within the grid, and on the right side you are shown various information about the level you are playing. Starting from the top, it shows the Level (in this case 1), your current score, the record high score, the power meter, and the menu button.

Tapping on the Menu button takes you to a screen similar to the main menu except now you have Resume as an option. If you exit from a game while still playing and return, then you are greeted with this same screen. If you choose New Game (while a current game is still resumable), then you are asked whether you really want to restart.

To play, you try to create complete circuits by tapping to rotate the individual circuit pieces. As you link them together, the circuit will light up.

As you are trying to complete these circuits, new circuits appear in a counter-clockwise order around the outside edge. Completing a circuit will cause it to flash and disappear, collapsing the circuits around it into the space it created. If this collapse causes an outside edge to fall in, then the new circuit pieces will restart from that location and continue around the board again.

Bigger circuits with lights will give you additional points and more power. Completing circuits gives you power, which is represented in the power meter. Once you reach 100%, then you move on to the next level. Every time you complete a level, more lights turn on in the city and you are shown your current score. Although it doesn't tell you this, you have to tap on the screen to continue to the next level. As I mentioned above, the game will continue to add in new pieces. And if you run out of available slots for a new piece, then the game is over. After clicking OK, you are able to enter in your name into the Top Scores table (assuming that you gained enough points to rank). You use the in-game keyboard to fill in your entry. Tapping on the CAPS or SYM will put the keyboard in Caps Lock or Symbol mode respectively. Note that if you don't backspace over the existing name (in this case Player), when you start typing it will appear at the end of the current name. So make sure to backspace over that name first.
