Great concept and gameplay.. But later in game the timer is tick down too fast for me to response, also I found that 1 connection can be called AND calling somebody else. :)
Very nice! A couple of times, I couldn't seem to get the second line to respond to my mouse-click to pick it up but might just be me. Nice sound/atmosphere too.
Only thing I noticed was, that I can reuse the same cables for every new connection (without them timing out before)... just leads to a bit of weirdness later in the game :D )
Really like the idea and the visuals. Well done! Feels like a good limited size of a game. Only thing I have is that "collision boxes" for holes sometimes felt a little off. Had to drag same cable to 2B 4 times before it connected (and then it was way to the left)
I got 276 points! :D I can't exactly think of anything wrong with the game. It would make a great mobile game. It's just not super interesting compared to other games.
The 3d effect is very cool looking, and this is a pretty well detailed game for how quickly it was made. The boss is a nice touch. Had one time where I had to make a connection (it was 3M) and it seemed like it wouldn't let me but maybe I did something wrong.
Hey Guys!, thanks for the awesome feedback and comment, very much appreciated and @ReboundGames , @SetTheBet , i can confirm that its a bug, its not that you can't put it, its just not in the center of it,you need to fiddle the pin a bit at the plug slot area, i'll fix it ASAP
I did run into a bug I think, where I couldn't plug things in, I fiddled around at the target and couldn't get it to go :/. It happened a couple times.
Would be good if the difficulty ramped up a bit faster. It starts at a good pace but takes a while to get going.
Ok yeah that was a ton of fun. The little rhythm going while you were operating was hypnotic, and the pace started getting crazy hectic. Only complaint is that there were a lot of spelling/grammar errors. Didn't check if you're a native English speaker though.
The mechanics is simple and dealing with a lot of things at once is surprisingly fun. Well done! I would love to see multiple lines need to be connected, currently it seems only one line need to be connected at a time. The count down was a bit confusing at first I didn't realize i have to reset before the count down finishes and the tutorial didn't explain that very well. Overall, it is a fun and challenging game. Love to see more levels and varieties
This is definitely ancient tech haha. I really liked it. Simple art style, and it fit nicely. Oddly satisfying. Sometimes it was a bit hard to plug the lines in though, it just wouldn't work half the time. They would just drop.
Surprisingly fun! The graphics could stand to be a bit better, as well as the audio, but the actual gameplay is very entertaining; especially for something with the format of Ludum Dare (best suited to quick, easy to learn, quick to finish games).
hey guys, thanks for playing and the feedback!, awesome to hear lot of stuff about the game from you guys :D
@KevKevOnFire i'm not , from Asia (spesifically indonesia) here, still learning english, sorry for the grammar error :D
@hirund0 its an old/ancient telephone system, back then on 50s-80's i think, they still use human powered operator to reroute the call
@peterthehe, thanks!, as 90's baby i also didnt know about this stuff :D, just randomly pop up the idea when brainstorming, and the resource of this stuff is very scarce and limited, good thing i found a youtube video that show how its work, you can watch it here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9t0LRBqC8c
@colapolka i already tried and released the fix version of it...huh, probably its not completely fixed yet, welp, back to the editor then, thanks for the feedback :D
Nice idea and cool art style! Kind of addictive despite being very simple. I think there's a bug though. Sometimes when I want to connect the second pin, it won't let me, even though I'm clicking on the right slot and then I can't release the pin anymore
That was awesome. I didn't even read the description but picked it up really fast. Rock solid and simple UI with solid gameplay. I would love it if it was broken up into days with high and low traffic times. Earn money each day for the score. Maybe earn promotions and get progressively larger boards to manage.
@pogo575 ....that was awesome idea dude, can guarantee but i probably will work this up much further, if its possible i'm planning to make it into an android game, but with how many plug that needed, i pretty much doubt it
This is an original game. You deserve a high five because you are one of the few adding a tutorial. I find that your game ends up not being too much challenging after some tries, so I would add some hard mode.
Pretty good game! I thought it would be really complex, but it turned out to be easy to understand and hard to master. And the difficulty ramped up just nice as well. Good job!
It was quite fun, I understood it, I think you did better than most people in the way that you included a tutorial, It could be made even better by increasing the difficulty just enough that you can accomplish it yet just enough that it's a challenge
Fantastic game, love the whole idea! You really get the feeling of being a telephone operator. I just thought it was a bit too easy overall, but maybe I didn't play enough. The graphics and sound effects are also good :)
@joemag i indeed should make it a bit clear on the tutorial, the heart goes down if you miss the timer, theres 2 timer here
first is the general timer when the call first came and when it asked for the receiver second is reset timer, when the caller already done makes the call
Well, I think it is nice idea. Didn't need a tutorial even :) I think if red light near the port will be blinking - it would be easier to find it, especially with many connections.
that was nice, i got up to 74, i guess im just too slow to go over that :) and i also found the tutorial a bit awkward so i just skipped and played the game. it was nice i must say. everything in it blends together peacefully
This game fit well with the theme ;) The 8-bit music in menu is nice, it give an old school design with your graphics. Your graphics are very nice. Compared to mine, your game has a reflexion side that is very interesting. Actually your game is more realistic than mine so great job ! Maybe there is a lack of sounds and music in game. But the little music that begins when we connect two people is very effective, the stress go up as the time passes away. I like the animation with the boss :p.
Nice idea and good use of the theme :) Everything works nicely and it make a complete game so overall not much to complain about. Difficulty could ramp up a bit quicker maybe but that's just my personal preference.
Simple, well made game! I included it in my compilation video series of Ludum Dare 36 games, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/ZS5h_OweR3s
i'm guessing you're also from indonesia when i saw that "kurang tidur", and apparently i'm right <3
i'in for about 200 or 300, but the level flow could be made to be more interesting by balancing the timing and positioning more. cool idea and implementation though, all elements are there too (sound effect, music that makes you feel you have to rush)!
Sorry for not returning your comment earlier; it seems chrome doesn't support WebGL >.>
Anyway, the game's pretty simple and fun! juggling between lines and switches feels pretty fun and, later in the game, pretty hectic. The visuals, while pretty simple, is aestheticly pleasing.
Wow, had to scroll a long way down to comment on this game :) A very addictive game, but I almost wanted a zen mode where you could just switch switches all day without worrying about losing lives! Then again, I'm a sucker for switchy games.
looks sweet, would like to see you work on it further even though ludum dare is over, I think it has a lot of potential. Could also use an escape command to quit the game.
Really fun. Great idea. Good pixelly art. The game mechanics were very game-y. Loved the boss. I think I would have included some kind of background music - like hold music. But it was fine without it. It's very Arcade-like, so maybe it needs a high scores board.
But later in game the timer is tick down too fast for me to response, also I found that 1 connection can be called AND calling somebody else. :)
