This game is about being a telegraph technician in the 5 days prior to christmas day, 1914, the year of the famous christmas truce.
You have to relay messages from the front line back to base using morse code. As each day passes, troops die, and food gets eaten. Send the right messages back to get more troops and resources to make it to christmas day.
This is REALLY impressive. So simple and yet SO effective! Incredibly well done! I think I actually picked up a decent amount of morse code playing this and had fun doing so. In a depressing way. Especially with those bombs. Damn. Great job with this!
Good mood and graphics. Good concept. Didn't find it as fun. Sometimes the timing of the buttons made it hard to send the message ... not sure what message the troops got from me.
Greetings fellow Morse game creator. :) Some messages seemed to repeat or be trivial, but the overall mood was well done. I played through to the end, and felt like I might be learning Morse in the process.
Yay another morse game! Wonderful mood and quite fun to play, and the repetition is actually useful as you can see you much better you get. Great work.
Great idea, great execution, great atmosphere. The last day put a smile on my face.
Main issue I had was that no matter how well I performed there never seemed to be enough troops and supplies coming in to cover the losses. It was really hard to tell how much my abilities actually influenced the course of battle. It makes sense that the available troops have to be redistributed by HQ and not a technician, but my actions felt a bit meaningless. I wasn't able to see any punishment for failing letters, either.
As a complete nitpick, I started out waiting for the sfx of the dashes and dots to finish playing before sending the next symbol, but the ended up with me failing the letter. I had to mash the combination, which ended up with some of the dashes merging together in audio? It worked fine, though, no big issue there.
Great audio design, too. I realize the music's not yours, but the contrast between that and the military noises really lent a unique mood to the game.
Nice concept and really freaking. I am a noob with telegraph and it is really frustrating that I cannot send a clear message. Music is great like mood. Thumbs up ++
Brilliant entry! Great to see a really original idea like this, and it was pretty challenging too.

I love this game. Will it be possible to download whole Unity Project? I'm dreaming about playing modified version, where is only one button, and much more words to enter.
