Power Link

A board full of dormant plugs, a stack of extension cords, and barely enough moves to light it all up—can you untangle the grid?

If you've ever stared at a mess of black cables under a desk and thought, 'there's a puzzle here,' Power Link is that puzzle with the pressure turned up. Each level drops a handful of unlit plugs and extensions onto a grid. You tap one and drag to another, creating a line between them; once connected, both light up. The trick is you only have so many moves per board. Waste a move linking the wrong pair and you'll be left with a lonely plug glowing in the corner while the counter hits zero. I've definitely restarted a level three times because I got cocky with an early connection that looked obvious but blocked a path later. Visually it's clean and minimal—no distractions, just colored nodes and a move counter that thumbs its nose at you. The difficulty ramps gently at first, then starts throwing in plugs with multiple possible connection points and layouts that force you to think two steps ahead. The aha moment usually comes when you spot a connector that can reach two different plugs, but only one order leaves you with enough moves to finish. There's no timer, so you can sit and plan, but the limited moves keep it tense without turning it into a stress factory. I appreciate that you can undo a connection by dragging it off, though it still burns a move, which adds a nice layer of risk. Sound is optional (and honestly better off), but the click of a successful connection gives a tiny dopamine hit. If you enjoy grid-based logic puzzles where every move counts—something like a stripped-down Pipe Mania but with plugs—this one will eat up a lunch break. It's not huge, but it's satisfying to clear a board with zero moves left and know you planned it perfectly.

Objective: Connect all the plugs to the extensions using the available moves to light them up. Controls: Tap and drag to connect the plugs and extensions. Ensure all extensions are connected before running out of moves.

- Scan the whole grid before making your first move; look for plugs that only have one possible partner. - If a plug can reach two extensions, hold off until you see which one is needed to avoid a dead end. - Connections can often be dragged off later, but you'll lose a move doing it—try to plan so you never need to. - Watch the move counter like a hawk: sometimes the shortest-looking link is a trap. - On later levels, start from the corners and edges; central plugs usually have more options and can be saved for last. - If you're stuck, restart the level and try the opposite of your first instinct—some boards are built to fool you.
