_can u talk?_ is a short 2D platformer where you must navigate the environment to keep a phone call from dropping while providing emotional support to the person on the line.
Move between transmitters to stay connected; if you move out of range for too long, the call drops and the game ends.
Can you find a steady signal and finish the call like the friend you want to be?
(Also R key respawns, ESC quits and Alt + Enter toggles fullscreen)
Transmitters emit signals which are represented by lines: Green is clear, red is blocked. Opaque means the signal is strong, translucent means it’s weak.
Thank you for playing my game!
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to test the Linux and Mac builds.
I can look into making an embedded version if allowed after the submission deadline.
I've done a few game jams before, but this was my first Ludum Dare and my first 2D game in Godot :smile:

How to play
Complete the level without your "call health" (the bar at the bottom of the screen) hitting zero. It recharges when you are in the line-of-sight and range of a transmitter, but slowly depletes when you're not.Transmitters emit signals which are represented by lines: Green is clear, red is blocked. Opaque means the signal is strong, translucent means it’s weak.
