=BEFORE PLAYING= The Web Version takes a long time to load, so I suggest downloading the standalone (for your platform). ================
You will be presented with a Phone.
Use the Phone to Travel.
You may need a Pen and Paper for this experience.
Good Luck.
--------------------------------------------------- Made in 48 hours
Had to cut a lot of things out because of time restraints.
Decided to focus less on gameplay and more on Art/Polish this time round. I think I did okay.

Known Bugs: Pausing when inputting a phone number will cause the cursor to not become available. To fix this, quit the game and relaunch.
=IMPORTANT NOTICE= There are more than 2 worlds, and there is a screen you reach to say that you finished the game. ================== =IF YOU ARE STUCK= Remember that all phone numbers are 6 Numbers Long. Everything you need to find the number you need to progress is in the world you are currently in. You can travel to any world from any phone booth. ================== =IF YOU REALLY NEED HELP= These hints contain potential spoilers. Use at last resort. http://pastebin.com/SK2UQCKr =========================
To other players: There are more than 2 levels... To the Dev: I hate you. I hate how great this game is and that you're going to make more of it and make money... Seriously though, great work. Nailed it!
I'm really liking the game, but I'm having trouble discerning the significance of the number on the boat. I'm just kind of bouncing between the worlds lost. I've tried entering in the number, adding it, subtracting it, and multiplying it with the other numbers. I'm not really sure what I'm missing.

I've tried entering in the number, adding it, subtracting it, and multiplying it with the other numbers. I'm not really sure what I'm missing. I even tried counting the stars and adding that number. I guess I'm too dumb.
I've updated my description. For anyone who is stuck, remember that if you are taking it to the point where you are multiplying numbers with numbers from previous worlds, you are really overthinking.
I really love the atmosphere. Using the phone to travel to other worlds gave it a magic-realist Myst vibe. I got stuck in the floating island level with the pine trees and rocks. I found three two-digit numbers and tried entering them in different orders but couldn't figure it out. This isn't a knock against the game - you've managed to intrigue me enough that I'll probably keep going back to it until I've figured it out (or find the answer online if I get too frustrated). You might try adding some subtle hints (maybe there were some, but they were too subtle for my brain).
Anyways, great job on a fine entry! I hope you keep adding to it post-compo.
I recently updated the description (again)containing hints, only use these if you are honest to god stuck. The hints do not contain numbers, so if you've found them all it's probably not worth going into the hints to figure out the order.
I do think the third level is a little too difficult. Even with the hint you had to go the right way and be looking in the right direction. Aside from that, everything was excellent. Great puzzles, the ambient sound made for a brilliant mood in the different lcoations, great graphics. Most of all, I really liked the application of the theme, the phone connecting worlds was unique and intriguing. Great Job!
Fantastic idea! I really like the concept of typing in numbers to take you to a specific place. I think if this was to go further, it could start branching out so each level might have several codes that take you further into new worlds, and maybe there could also be secret worlds that aren't recorded, but typing them in would lead there. I have to admit that the last level got me stuck for some reason, I kept thinking it was alphabet-to-numeric - so yawA = 251231 or something along those lines, but the real answer was actually really clever!
Wow, that took forever to load, stuck with it cos the concept was really interesting. It was worth the wait! The theme is spot on, the telephone connected the world when it was invented. I would have liked to use the number pad on my keyboard to dial and not loving the skybox but otherwise a brilliant game. Played it all the way till the end but I did use some of the hints ;)
I really like the world phone idea, and the confidently low-poly gouraudy look! The whole scavenger hunt thing appeals less, but 48 hours is 48 hours and there's only so much time for clever.
the mood and look, and sound of this game were really great. Walking around looking for numbers isn't intirely my thing, but the atmosphere kept me playing longer than I normally would have.
I love the strange dreamlike atmosphere you've created in this game. Especially in the first room. I couldn't get past the floating islands level either, even with the hint.
got dizzy after the icy part sorry. though i wanted to finish the game haha. but you made a really great game and a very clean one too. pretty polished. first is, great animations especially when you press the number on the phone! second is i also liked the bobbing of the camera lol :D and third one are the visuals especially the models and also the transition between the screens! not an artist here so those models for me were already awesome for an LD entry! also liked the ambient music here. pretty subtle but great! good job guys and keep it up! :D
