ShortCircut
Flip polarity, Ride the volt
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
You are the spark. One tap flips polarity between two live rails. Dodge resistors, thread blinking LEDs, chain volt streaks. How far can you ride? Current bar: 449m.
You are the spark. Ride the rails. Don't touch the components.
Short Circuit is a pure one-tap reflex game. Tap anywhere to flip polarity and jump between two copper rails on a living circuit board. That's the whole control scheme — and it's all you'll need to lose an afternoon.
DODGE THE COMPONENTS
Resistors and capacitors block your path. LEDs blink on and off — time it right and slip past while they're dark, or fry the moment they light up.
COLLECT VOLTS, BUILD STREAKS
Grab volt pickups as you ride. Chain them without a miss and every 5th volt pays a +5 bonus. One dropped pickup resets the streak.
SHAVE IT CLOSE
Skimming past a component earns a +3m near-miss bonus. The fastest way up the scoreboard is the most dangerous line.
IT ONLY GETS FASTER
The current accelerates the longer you survive. There is no finish line. There is only the crash.
