The grid never waits.
Circuit Shepherd is a real-time routing puzzle about guiding autonomous energy packets through a live circuit. Rotate conduits, toggle gates, switch junctions, store packets in capacitors, respect one-way diodes, filter colors, time pulse gates and transform energy spectra before a packet commits to the wrong route.
The campaign builds from simple routing into layered timing and spectrum puzzles, then ends in the Shepherd Nexus with multi-system mastery challenges. After the campaign, the optional Mastery Grid pushes for cleaner and more efficient solutions.
Play beyond the campaign with two offline-first modes:
• Daily Dispatch — a deterministic local-date challenge with the same seed for the day.
• Expedition — a five-stage seeded run with escalating constraints and local best results.
Features:
• 45 handcrafted campaign levels
• 12 optional Mastery Grid trials
• Touch-first real-time circuit routing
• Three-star optimization with local best interactions and time
• Deterministic Daily Dispatch and Expedition modes
• Keyboard and basic gamepad support
• Reduce Motion, haptics controls and accessibility semantics
• Fully offline gameplay and local-only progress
• No ads, no in-app purchases, no account and no tracking
Guide live energy through shifting circuits in a tactile real-time puzzle.
