Mini-Review
The following review was copied from this page, having originally been written in February 2020 (with a few edits).
Unrelated to the 1986 film of the same name, Short Circuit is a puzzle game that involves matching tiles, one I've recently picked up again, which I haven't seen in at least a decade, and I'm almost as bad at it as I used to be. To clear a stage, you have to match two tiles with two right angles or less, but the game throws gimmicks at you (unmovable tiles, weighted tiles, switching places). You can see more at this chap's YouTube page, and my most recent attempt I got to World 5, which is the "stubborn tiles + weight" world. The first level is basic color matching, the second level is weighted blocks (with black and white patterns), the third is gradient-colored blocks switching places. This is notable for two reasons. The first is I remember I thought it was more colorful and vibrant than what the game presents (pictured below), but I don't know if it's a slowly fraying memory or the fact that my brother did mess with some games in ResEdit.
