I love the idea and execution. Very british :)
Dialling is the actual challenge, if only the numbers would move too. I so far wrecked one pod, landed 3, but didn't reach an alien yet ;)

Thanks! Yes the number entry was the skill part. I wanted the feeling of the old phone and when I tried moving the numbers too, it became too easy ;)
Thanks for the feedback' I am heading over to your game shortly.
Mechanic with the telephone is really fun. The music was a bit loud in the first screen, and it was difficult to hear the narration, but the screen and story was cool.
all hail the queen! haha good game!
Great! I like how the gameplay is story-driven, yet every mini-game is still interesting. I've never been that much focus on simply dialing a number :P
I didn't really get what the voices said (the fact that I'm not a native might explain that), too bad because it seems like a lot of effort has been put in sound too.
Also nice graphics, it must have taken some time to create every planet and their surface. Impressive amount of work for 48 hours.
great mechanics and atmosphere!
Thanks ZBGE! :) the sound was mostly just for atmosphere and flavour so the game is still playable without understanding it all. Thanks for the feedback tho, yes it was a big undertaking to create it all but I scraped it all together in the last minutes :D
thanks xandy :)
Nice polish, especially with the intro, though the phone minigame got old fast, which prevented me from continuing.
Best 48H game so far :3
At first the telephone drove me nuts, but eventually I got the hang of it. Really liked this overall - the only things I'd suggest would be making the "lunar lander"-type sequences more involved, and making Jeff a little less creepy-looking. XD
I once had one of this phone :D
As someone already said, the narration volume was too low, but overall your game is interesting.
Unfortunately I didn't contact any alien :/
Nice mood and style %)
Like idea and color palette.
Great fluff but found the telephone minigame too annoying. Really loved everything else.
Is Ormington supposed to be Oprington?
I love the whole idea of a GPO space program, and the lunar landing is very nicely done, I love that they're putting telephones on the planets! I just can't get my head around the dialling, so I was ecstatic when I discovered Amesbury on 1121!! Alas, after successfully landing pods on all of the planets, I managed to make three calls, and found no alien life.
Hey Andro. No. No it isn't. Ormington Chomost is a fictional location that my sister and I came up with many years ago. :)
and hey Cptalbertwesker, thanks for the feedback!
Great audio makes great atmosphere! Sadly, the calling element is WAY too hard! I've managed to land pods on every planet but couldn't find any forms of life :)
Really cool concept! Nice work overall.
