With great power comes great responsibility. And in Powernode, you’re responsible for making sure energy flows where it’s needed most—a feat that requires a sharp eye and an analytical mind.

Mastering this invigorating puzzler means honing your multitasking skills. Your goal is to fill circular targets with energy supplied by diamond-shaped emitters. Each circle needs a certain amount of power—if a target shows a five, you could connect emitter crystals that have a three and a two, and use that newly created node to pump the circle full of juice.

Powernode’s complex puzzle play has a soothing undercurrent. It’s a zen game in disguise.

When a target gets enough power, it disappears from the board with a satisfying ping! But new circles and new crystals are constantly popping up; before long you’re managing a complex, crisscrossing network.

Subtle strategies are at play in Powernode. The more targets you have connected to a power source, the slower each one will receive its much-needed energy. Find clever ways to distribute the load! If a target doesn’t get enough juice, it will eventually expire—and that’s game over for you.

Powernode eventually rewires your brain, training you to quickly tweak connections to keep the energy flowing efficiently. Soon you’ll be humming along like a high-voltage hero, deftly rearranging your power grid on the fly. It’s nothing short of electric.
