I really enjoyed this game. I haven't seen any other phone operator games... ever. Really nailed the experience. I also enjoyed the tutorial was basically the game.

I would have been a terrible phone operator hahaha.

The link is no longer working :(

Very unique and very challenging. I would now love to play something more advanced with sounds and interaction with the callers.

Really innovative idea!! While loading the game, I was hoping to hear a voice say it's desired destination call number. With some sounds this game would be even better! Good work! :)

Fantastic. I wish the game had some sound though, maybe the sound of cables flailing around and a digitized voice actually telling the desired number when you jack in the cable. Would have added to the already brilliant chaos :-)

Thank god I wasn't phone operator, but the game is really good.

liked it, fits the theme well :)

This was just too much fun after I got a handle on things! And once again it's been proven that my cable management is terrible..

Great implementation.

Love it! Once I jumped in, it didn't take long to figure out how to play. This was really cool - looks great, plays well, feels frantic. I would totally play a real-life arcade version of this game.

Great work on the graphics, beautiful! Some sfx (a 'click' of a pin hitting a slot) would really enhance the experience.

Good stuff!

Very unique take on the theme, I like it!

A very innovative concept, sort of like Papers Please in how it turns a mundane task into something fun. The graphics are very nice but I would have liked some sfx and music. As far as I can tell there's no real way to lose you just don't get any points so there's nothing really motivating the player. Despite this though it's a really good game

Had really fun playing it! Just audio was missing and i wish it had it. Keep up good work! :)

I always wondered what it would be like to work a switchboard.

Nice touch on the appearance of the hanging gabled.

This is so awesome. I wonder if something bigger can be done from this. Mini-storylines from the callers, maybe? Oh, and yeah, sounds!

I'm a sucker for modular synthesizers - so this game had me hooked ages ;)

This is addicting! I got a lot faster when I realized that the headphone jack and cable were regular jacks and cables.
