The Telegraphist

Play it on itch.io 👉 https://lloydlobo.itch.io/the-telegraphist

The line is open. The words are coming. Can you keep up?

Step into the shoes of a telegraph operator and tap out Morse code in time with incoming transmissions. Hit your dots and dashes with precision, learn new letters, and keep the line running as the messages grow more complex.

A quick tap sends a dit `.` - while holding sends a dah `-`.​

One missed beat could cost you the transmission.

Tune in. Keep time. Deliver the message.

a morse rhythm game that sneakily teaches you letters, neat. the play area is narrow on desktop and the notes are small, a bit of scale-up would help

Very meditative, simple, and nicely done. I really got into the rhythm. But it took me a little while :)

A calm, pleasant game. I enjoyed the feeling of being a telegraph operator.
