Beautiful retro aesthetics!
Amazing sound design!
Never would I have thought that sending a fax could be fun :)
I really appreciated the detail that was put into making the whole environment interactive. I would very much like to see this become a series of games about retro appliances.
Congratulations for this great idea and excellent execution!
really awesome idea of the use fax machine, quite similar with my idea
anyway, love the graphics, feels the oldies vibe from it
the gameplay easy to jump to, but some mechanic need a bit of understanding, the other like delay fax need reading a bit
but very immersive and realistic experience, props!
Awesome idea in a strange way and great implementation. Anyway I miss the ancient tech theme.
This is far deeper than I anticipated. Is it bad that I want to print the manual...?
The concept is really neat, dude! I think, that you chose of ancient technologies is perfect.
When I heard all these "beep" sounds I immediately remember my first attempt to use a real one. It was really hard that time, thou!
But it was so fun to use it again, btw.
The ability to load the pdf manual for the real fax makes me laugh.
i have to say its creative but tedious xD really intresting concept, maybe KeepTalkingAndNoBodyExplodes is a good game to take in consideration.
I simply love it. One of the most original games I've seen this ludum. Also that vaporwave aesthetic is nice.
Really great and original concept :)
It's a bit like "don't stop talking and nobody explodes".
It's really funny that you use a real fax notice.
I took time to understand and was looking the notice saying "huh..." i finally did it without notice.
I've lose after three completed orders but i've found the game a bit repetitive.
Also, this is a really nice game for a 48h made game.
Great job ! Continue ;)
Great idea! I'm amazed at how byzantine some of these instructions are... press function 1, 1, wait two seconds until the screen says "1. timer" and press stop!? wtf, how are these real manuals. The game does a great job of showing how absurd these things are.
Awesome concept! But I didn't get too far, were these things really that horrible? I've never used one...
This is super clever! At first I was completely lost in the manuals, but after awhile you get the hang of it. You should turn this into a series of ancient technologies! VCR NEXT!
Also wondering if HP and such are seeing a weird traffic pattern emerging :)
This is the most innovative use of theme I've seen so far this LD. Brilliant work, kept me going and reading manuals for a while! One things I noticed which may be just me doing something weird - it sends a fax even if you did it wrong with no explanation. I probably would have wanted an explanation or it to not send it at all.
Really fun and intriguing game. Reminds me a lot of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes with the usage of the external manuals. The randomness of some menus and stuff kept things interesting all the way through, and the speed increases were actually balanced to how fast i was memorizing manuals. Great game!
The game is very complete, it is well-shaped, but I think it is not really fun. The sounds are nice, the graphics too, and you managed to link them perfectly, but I don't feel like reading the entire guide (Even if you tell me which page I should read) to complete the game.
However, this is a good job, continue like this, maybe try to include a "Help menu " instead of sending us to the instruction pdf.
Great job otherwise, keep creating games !
Cool stuff. I like the main gameplay. Well done ++
Really awesome concept. I included it in my compilation video series of Ludum Dare 36, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/QlYKcvCr0YM
I also included your game in an article of my favorites! :)
