"Minimalist flow puzzle game. 500+ handcrafted levels, 7 modes, built-in Puzzle Editor to design & share your own."
"Circuit Trace is a minimalist flow puzzle for Android. 500+ handcrafted levels across 7 modes — Classic, Diodes, Portals, Arcade and more. The built-in Puzzle Editor lets players design their own puzzles and share them with friends via short codes. Free, offline, 6 languages."
Circuit Trace is a minimalist flow puzzle game for Android, developed by solo indie studio Grounded Studio in the Netherlands. The game challenges players to connect colored pairs across a grid, restoring circuit paths one puzzle at a time.
The game ships with 500+ handcrafted puzzles across five campaign modes — Circuit Trace, Classic, Diodes, Portals, Arcade — each with 100 unique levels. On top of that: an infinite Endless mode, daily global challenges, weekly puzzle sets, and a 60-second Time Trial sprint mode.
The standout feature is the built-in Puzzle Editor. Players can design their own 5×5 to 8×8 puzzles with dots and diodes, save up to 5 in their personal library, and share them with friends via short alphanumeric codes (format: CT-NHH06-8CMY4-AG2DS). The entire system works offline — no server, no account, no login required.
Circuit Trace integrates Google Play Games Services for optional cloud save, 23 achievements, and three global leaderboards (Daily Challenge speed, Time Trial score, Endless streak). The game is fully playable anonymously if players prefer.
The game is free to download. Ads appear only between campaign levels, never during gameplay. An optional one-time €3.99 Remove Ads purchase removes every ad permanently.
Available in six languages (English, Nederlands, Deutsch, Français, Español, Português) with full translation of UI, hints, and tutorials. Fully offline-capable.
Grounded Studio is a one-person independent studio bootstrapped from Eindhoven, Netherlands. The studio also ships BuildExact (construction calculator for contractors) and FreshGarant (food expiry tracker).
"We wanted a puzzle game that respects your time. No energy systems. No pay-to-win. No forced ads during a solve. Just you, the grid, and your brain."
— Rudy Sijbers, Founder & Developer, Grounded Studio
"The Puzzle Editor was the single biggest thing we could add. It turns Circuit Trace from a solo game into a shared conversation — friends challenging friends with codes they designed themselves."
— Rudy Sijbers
"Every puzzle in the campaign is handcrafted. No procedural noise. Each level earned its place."
— Rudy Sijbers
