im having trouble with 333 222 1112 and 111 111 1111? any tips?
Three numbers are real numbers in real life, so you can try to trial and error two known numbers (Poison Control and Naval Observatory Time for example) with an unknown number
thank you!
This was a tough one! Overall I had fun and couldn't stop playing until I got to the end (even though at one point I was so stuck I actually thought the game was broken or unbeatable). I ended up having to look up some of the numbers IRL and use trial and error to get the last 6 numbers correct which felt a bit like I cheated the game, but perhaps thats the intended solution as I did not see any clues related to certain people. I do wish more clues were in the messages themselves, and would have loved some music/sound to the game as well. Overall though a good job.
Thanks for the feedback, three of the numbers are real numbers that don’t have a text conversation associated with them, so there is a bit more of an AR experience to it then I intended. I spent most of the jam on the technical aspects of the game as a proof of concept, so in the future I can look at longer messages/music/and the like 👍
This was really cool! I haven't seen many games with this type of gameplay. Great interpretation of the theme. Really looks like phone UI. Nice controls and simple but interesting gameplay. Really well done!
