Editor review
Wire Tap is a wire-pulse timing arcade where you tap junctions as electrical pulses pass. Twenty-five levels with pulse-speed variation.
What works is the pulse-visualisation. Pulses travel along wires with appropriate motion blur. Players can predict timing based on wire length and pulse speed.
Twenty-five levels with progressive pulse speeds.
Tested over two Cork weekend cafe sessions. Touch tap is the natural input. Mouse-click also works.
Where the game starts to feel thin is the absence of mechanical variation. Every level uses the same wire-pulse mechanic.
Where I would push back is the campaign length. Twenty-five levels is short.
Three stars. Functional wire-pulse arcade with thoughtful pulse visualisation. Limited by short campaign.
