Wanted to try the windows part out but after downloading it, my antivirus deleted it.. you should scan your computer :P

I really enjoyed this game!

techblogogy 2014-08-25 16:14

I would like to replace phone with PoilceBox and add more locations then this would be perfect game

Is the boat number supossed to do nothing? Only one trip to away and home? Or am I missing something?

andrewjamesadams 2014-08-25 20:13

To other players: There are more than 2 levels...
To the Dev: I hate you. I hate how great this game is and that you're going to make more of it and make money... Seriously though, great work. Nailed it!

I'm really liking the game, but I'm having trouble discerning the significance of the number on the boat. I'm just kind of bouncing between the worlds lost. I've tried entering in the number, adding it, subtracting it, and multiplying it with the other numbers. I'm not really sure what I'm missing.

I guess I'm too dumb.

I like it! Very atmospheric.

jellycakes 2014-08-26 00:08

I've updated my description. For anyone who is stuck, remember that if you are taking it to the point where you are multiplying numbers with numbers from previous worlds, you are really overthinking.

merlijnvh 2014-08-26 00:20

I love this. The atmosphere and music is lovely, and I love interacting with physical things like the phone in games. Great entry!

skullum 2014-08-26 00:29

I'm very proud I got past the ice level, but the next one completely baffles me, unless it's supposed to end there.

Sweet game with very high production value, it made me feel smart.

clownaround 2014-08-26 00:41

Cool concept. The worlds were unique and interesting. A little hard to remember all the numbers.

fleegle2000 2014-08-26 00:47

I really love the atmosphere. Using the phone to travel to other worlds gave it a magic-realist Myst vibe. I got stuck in the floating island level with the pine trees and rocks. I found three two-digit numbers and tried entering them in different orders but couldn't figure it out. This isn't a knock against the game - you've managed to intrigue me enough that I'll probably keep going back to it until I've figured it out (or find the answer online if I get too frustrated). You might try adding some subtle hints (maybe there were some, but they were too subtle for my brain).

Anyways, great job on a fine entry! I hope you keep adding to it post-compo.

jellycakes 2014-08-26 00:51

I recently updated the description (again)containing hints, only use these if you are honest to god stuck. The hints do not contain numbers, so if you've found them all it's probably not worth going into the hints to figure out the order.

akirassasin 2014-08-26 13:07

nice bgm

villhest 2014-08-26 14:19

Wow, that's really cool! I like your skyboxes. Did you use vertex paint?

jellycakes 2014-08-26 14:32

@villhest Yes I did. I was trying to go for Spyro type skyboxes :)

dustyroom 2014-08-26 14:32

Amazing concept. I wish I could walk the worlds and searching for the numbers, type them on the phone and jump to another worlds...

mcfood 2014-08-26 14:59

I do think the third level is a little too difficult. Even with the hint you had to go the right way and be looking in the right direction.
Aside from that, everything was excellent. Great puzzles, the ambient sound made for a brilliant mood in the different lcoations, great graphics. Most of all, I really liked the application of the theme, the phone connecting worlds was unique and intriguing.
Great Job!

bio-bob 2014-08-26 15:01

Fantastic idea! I really like the concept of typing in numbers to take you to a specific place. I think if this was to go further, it could start branching out so each level might have several codes that take you further into new worlds, and maybe there could also be secret worlds that aren't recorded, but typing them in would lead there. I have to admit that the last level got me stuck for some reason, I kept thinking it was alphabet-to-numeric - so yawA = 251231 or something along those lines, but the real answer was actually really clever!

tmpxyz 2014-08-26 15:03

EL Psy Congroo?

jellycakes 2014-08-26 15:12

@McFood Yeah I've been told many times that the third level is potentially the trickiest. You either get it immediately or it takes ages.

robotfriend 2014-08-26 15:40

Fantastic!

mechabit 2014-08-26 16:53

Wow, that took forever to load, stuck with it cos the concept was really interesting. It was worth the wait!
The theme is spot on, the telephone connected the world when it was invented.
I would have liked to use the number pad on my keyboard to dial and not loving the skybox but otherwise a brilliant game. Played it all the way till the end but I did use some of the hints ;)

veryfinestlions 2014-08-27 11:30

I really like the world phone idea, and the confidently low-poly gouraudy look! The whole scavenger hunt thing appeals less, but 48 hours is 48 hours and there's only so much time for clever.

jaj 2014-08-27 12:40

the mood and look, and sound of this game were really great. Walking around looking for numbers isn't intirely my thing, but the atmosphere kept me playing longer than I normally would have.

cacciatc 2014-08-27 13:30

Who knew dialing a phone could be so much fun.

androniq 2014-08-28 01:04

I love the strange dreamlike atmosphere you've created in this game. Especially in the first room.
I couldn't get past the floating islands level either, even with the hint.

ofursnati 2014-08-28 13:04

Cool game. Using pen and paper was fun. Spot on with the theme.

bluesky 2014-08-30 18:54

This is actually very entertaining, well done.

leafarz 2014-08-31 14:10

got dizzy after the icy part sorry. though i wanted to finish the game haha.
but you made a really great game and a very clean one too. pretty polished.
first is, great animations especially when you press the number on the phone!
second is i also liked the bobbing of the camera lol :D
and third one are the visuals especially the models and also the transition between the screens! not an artist here so those models for me were already awesome for an LD entry!
also liked the ambient music here. pretty subtle but great!
good job guys and keep it up! :D

mrexcessive 2014-08-31 17:31

Hi there. Got three levels in and bookmarked for another longer look later. Nice audio, graphics and hiding. Good job!

thecolorhacker 2014-09-01 20:21

Great entry, very atmospheric. I got inmersed in the look for clues to find the phone code. I got to the floating islands and got 4 numbers...
