Node Tallyx turns a neon circuit board into a timed reading drill. Count only lit nodes that sit in odd-length chains—pairs and fours add nothing, while ones, threes, and fives contribute their nodes. Slide the cyan ruler and release to lock; violet ends nudge by one without locking. Later clusters hide, a veil covers part of the board, and a ringed cool-only mark means warm yellow nodes stay out of the tally. A correct read scores with time remaining, and a streak of clean reads adds segment points. A wrong lock or a dead window ends the run. Open the Tick Guide, then work the Circuit Bench wave by wave. It suits players who enjoy quick pattern math under a shrinking clock.
