⚡ You are the spark. The circuit board is your highway.

Short Circuit is a one-tap arcade runner. Ride two live copper rails across an endless PCB — tap to flip polarity between the top and bottom rail. That's the whole control scheme. Mastering it is another story.

The board never stops accelerating, and every run ends the same way: in a spectacular shower of arcs and sparks. The only question is how many meters you banked first.

How to play

• Tap / click / spacebar — flip polarity to the other rail
• Dodge resistors and capacitors
• Time your pass through blinking LEDs — they're only deadly while lit
• Shave close to components for +3m near-miss bonuses
• Grab volts ⚡ and chain streaks for big payouts

Features

• One-tap controls, instant reboots — die, tap, go again
• Ever-increasing speed that never lets up
• Risk-and-reward near-miss system
• Crunchy retro synth sound effects (mutable — tap the speaker icon)
• Your best distance and volt record are saved in your browser
