cool idea and nice visuals, I think we need gamification
As others stated, after a few calls, I have no text anymore when answering a call. A bit of sound would have made the whole thing more enjoyable, and I soooo much wanted to use the sliders in front of the board, they look interactive but they aren't :D
Nice job, thanks for the game.
I tried this a few times. I had the same issue using the web version with no text showing up after a couple calls, with no indication on what to do.
Thanks for the game!
I am very excited to see another Exchange Operator game!
I tried to play a couple of times, but after 2 calls or so it seems that the text just stopped showing up entirely for me. I also cannot tell the difference between a “front” and “back” cable - sometimes the same cable answers, other times it does not.
The aesthetic and everything is very nice, and I might come back to see if I can play it fully some later time!
Nice job, would have loved some audio. But looks great and nice idea.
Damn I really really love this idea, one of my fav in the jam! You really nailed the aesthetic. Obviously hard with jam restrictions ofc but I could see this being built up a lot with characters that are kinda woven in for maybe some sort of narrative game or something! Great work
Sure a lot of Numbers and Names but mostly easy to find. Got a bit hectic because i was so slow and firstly couldn’t find the cables to connect. Like the others say, yes a samll turtorial in the future would be nice, same goes for music and sound. The visuals where nice and charming and i can imagine it goes well with sounds and music. good job :)

Well done. That was a huge list of names.
I like the visuals and the setting. Sadly I didn't know where to start, would like to have a tutorial :o A fallout likely music would also be great :)
First of all, thank you! And yes, you're right. Tutorial would be really helpful, but I didn't have much time to add it. The situation was the same regarding music, there was no time again.
Yes I understand. We had the same problem XD But you did great!
Seems like a few of us had ideas related to working a telephone exchange :) Fun idea and it looks great but playing the web version I didn't see any text on who to call
Yes, we had the same ideas lol. Maybe the problem will be solved when you try full screen for the web version, I don't know. Thanks also!
This game was educational to me! I did not know that phone operators worked like this in the 50s. Also, it's a really cool idea for a game mechanic. I would love to see this as a minigame in a AAA historic action game, kinda like Indiana Jones or something like that!
Thanks! Yes, I would also like to see this phone mechanic in other games.
