Hey guys! This game is kind of an idle audio exploratory game based on graph theory.
...that makes it sound like no fun at all. Let me try again.
Play as an aspiring communications mogul, seeking to connect the far corners of the world with the fastest in data transmission technology. Advance from simple messengers (with exceptional memories) to the Internet and beyond!
When you can teleport to any city on the planet, the world isn't so big anymore.
#### Instructions
- Click and drag to connect cities.
- Select connection types by clicking them (once available).
- Research technologies to unlock new connection types and inspire the populace to send more data.
- The game doesn't end (you will have to exit with alt-f4), but you can consider yourself the greatest communications company in the world once you research Brain-Computer Interaction.
#### Tips and Tricks
- Aim for fast connections - the sooner your message arrives, the more you are paid!
- Larger cities send and receive more messages!
- Message sizes increase as you move through the ages, and your old technology won't cut it! Be sure to replace your aging connections!
