Great game!
Probably my favourite entry of the jam! I really enjoyed the tactile feeling of plugging in the cords. My only issue is that the numbers are really small and can be hard to read for people with visual impairments. But overall, awesome job!
I genuinely loved this game, but I want to suggest using a font that contrasts with the background for the instructions; I could barely read them, and couldn't highlight the text because it was baked into the images. But seriously thanks for making a switchboard game like this so I don't have to (I've considered it a few times!)
Kaz and I played this. We felt very "John Wick is Ex-incommunicado."
We thought it was a good use of the theme, and could see the game getting expanded on with more to do and see it being a full game.
For myself (not Kaz) I struggled a bit to get the hang of it, I didn't realise the red-light was not the hole to plug into, and we weren't able to restart the game unless we refreshed our browser.
Really made me feel like a switchboard operator! Very fun and doesn't overstay it's welcome, which is definitely a problem in my game :D
Played your game and it was good. Please play and rate mine : /jam/godot-wild-jam-98/rate/5155444
Fits quite perfectly the theme of the jam! And I like the way this was developed, you could very easily port this to any other game as a mini-game or task or something similar, and easily reuse or expand it. I would just be careful to not make the player spend too much time on it, because it can be quite stress-inducing hahahaha
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!
What part was the most stressful for you?
Just the concept itself, so many numbers lighting up, but it's also what makes the game fun haha
(but your approach of having a fixed timer kept the game from being stressful and made just the fun stick with it)
Got it, thanks! :)
