Content note: this game has absolutely no explicit content at all, but the victory animation is a little suggestive.

In the good future where everyone's a robot, you're a new recruit to the largest individual robot charging company in the world. Get out there and charge some batteries!

Featuring music by the lovely Chimeratio! The soundtrack is available on SoundCloud for listening outside of the game.

I recommend reading the in-game help, because the win condition for puzzles is a little weird and I'm not sure it can easily be figured out just by messing around. But maybe you have way better things to do than read like 700 words? I totally understand. In that case, the important stuff is on page 9. At least glance at that before you jump in, so you'll have a vague idea of what you're trying to do.


Controls: point the mouse at things and click. Some things you can drag too, if that's more comfortable for you.

Note: even though this game features a cheap iPad ripoff UI, it doesn't actually support touch. Sorry!

You don't want to look at the source code, which is over here: https://bitbucket.org/CHz16/charge-cycles. Full attribution for the assets I didn't make is over there too.

I totally agree. The game aesthetics, puzzles and soundtrack blend into a rewiring game experience. Nicely done!

Okay wow this game is a lot of fun. The puzzles are sufficiently inscrutable that I feel like I need to rewire my brain to play it well, and the music is amazing. Love it.
