To put it simply: this is a somewhat interesting tech demo, but it is not a puzzle game.

A puzzle game should make you feel awesome after solving a level. All I'm feeling after a dozen levels of Circuits is the urge to rant about game design.

Listening to the same samples over and over and over again to figure out where to place them is boring. Activation of nodes is entirely linear (at least so far) and there is nothing clever you can do beyond just grinding each level out. Gameplay is often slow, and the controls feel awkward. Level transitions goes on too long and are unskippable. There's a speed up feature to skip playing the entire song once you have a solution but it is still too slow.

And, to top it off, I personally found the samples and songs almost grating to my ears.
