Synapsis

An experimental game made for the Level Up Game Jam 2024 following the theme "Collective intelligence vs. collective madness".

Controls

• Left mouse button: select and move.
  
• Z: rotate clockwise.
• X: rotate counterclockwise.

Concept and how to play

Connect the brains so that they emit colored light. If a brain has either too much or too few connections, its light will turn black. Also, not having any space around will make their light fade (whether they have the right amount of connections or not).

Every brain is different: some are more transmissors than receivers, some are the opposite and the rest are balanced. You can know which ones belong to which type by their color:

• Red: they transmit more than they receive.
• Green: they transmit as much as they receive.
• Blue: they receive more than they transmit.

Reaching a synapsis of 100% is almost impossible, but the more brains there are with their light colored, the higher that percentage will be.
