Just because the tiles match, it doesn't mean they are the right match at that time.

Tiles must contain a circuit. A circuit is a straight, continuous path without any other tiles obstructing it. You can have up to two right angles, which allows up to three straight lines. Keep going until those two can be cleared together.

Don't dawdle; you have to clear the board before time runs out.

Short Circuit contains a total of 33 levels divided into eight different worlds, and each world has a different characteristic. The board is divided into two parts: the play area, where the tiles appear, and the control panel. It displays the score, level, time remaining, a message output and gadget buttons.
