The goal is to rotate each of the tiles to allow the energy to pass through them until all of the bulbs have light.

Shop

Extra themes are available for a set number of points in the shop located in the settings.

Notes:

Challenge

(claimed by Warrior) Find the secret code hidden in the game's menus. Hint 1: The game's theme is important Hint 2: The code can be found before a single level is attempted Hint 3: The code is a short piece of text, not a number or a list of numbers Get hunting!
unrelated side noteBelieve it or not, I actually made three other, fully functional, engines for the contest but had to scrap all three due to lack of time. Because of this and school work, I only had about eight partial days to come up with a decent idea and create it from scratch. That's when I came up with this "simple" hexagonal pipes game. I brainstormed ideas for a day and worked on it as much as I could. There are still a couple bugs, but I'm glad I could make something for the contest.

I rather enjoy this game and also agree that this would not be out of place on the e-shop. Nice polish.

Did you draw all the hexagon tiles by hand, or generate them automatically?

I generated them with a simple piece of code. You can even see the pieces I used to generate them at the bottom of GRP_1.

Aaaah! As always, this looks so polished and fancy!! I'm shocked by the amount of puzzles! This game is so good it might even get 2nd place in the contest, while I'll have first! :)
SpoilerI'm joking. First place is totally yours, with your dedication and skill: awesome job! I'll be fine with...16th place out of 18 ;w;

I'm not sure if anyone else has already found the code mentioned in the challenge, but I may have found it. Should I send you a PM saying the code or something?

Just so everyone knows, the prize is still up for grabs. The secret code is still hiding somewhere in the game's menus. It's only a matter of time before someone just so happens to come across it.

Does reading the program code count as cheating

Nope! Check it all you want.

I feel like you should have put Hint 3 in the "Challenge" section when you made the page for this game. If you did, I would have known the code almost immediately (and maybe some other people would have figured it out). But its too late for me to complain now.
