Love the idea :)

Great game and concept. Very clever use of the theme and the difficulty settings were fun to experiment with.

Gets hard quickly! One of the most unique games I tried this LD so far.

Cute game, good job

michaeltwg 2017-07-31 21:56

The concept is very funny ^^

dynastic 2017-07-31 22:12

this is cool!!! gets a little bit boring after a while--maybe some sort of difficulty multiplier as time goes on would be cool! still super cool and unique, i liked this a lot!

Very interesting/unusual idea, but I think the gameplay needs a little tuning. Well done, though!

bocodillo 2017-07-31 23:46

Fun game with a great theme! Like the ability to set difficulty.

Very unique. Hard difficulty is really hard :thumbsup:

Not a bad game, very suiting to the theme. Good job!

Funny Concept - gameplay is a little Bit hard.

Fun story! Interesting gameplay. I would like to have some sound/music to improve.

viliar 2017-08-13 23:45

Gameplay itself is ok but I just couldn't accept phones telling me to push buttons on other phones. It feels strange even for game. Imo u can improve it by adding a bit more sense to what's actually happening. As a result you can add more mechanics/graphics.

Idea's cool. Not some copypasted stuff.

Nice fit to the theme, I thought the battery indication could be a little bit clearer though. Interesting gameplay, nice way to kill a couple minutes.

A tip for next time: Add sound effects! You can do it fairly quickly so it doesn't take away too much time, by using something like BFXR that lets you make your own, or as this is a jam game you can use free sound effects from different places (I typically go to freesound.org)

quadtree 2017-08-14 05:24

Certainly an unusual concept! I don't think I'm very good at this type of game, though. It also could have used some sound and more mechanics that require the player to make decisions.

rothens91 2017-08-14 13:41

It's a bit boring after a while, but still a nice idea!

abductedplatypus 2017-08-14 15:48

Fun concept with a decent implementation. It's always a challenge to keep everyone charged with only one charger or socket. More changes in how you charge would have been fun.

joebeard 2017-08-14 16:15

The battery indicator was difficult to read, perhaps that's because I was playing it in a window and the lines got aliased? The one thing this game needed the most I think was sound.

azziliz 2017-08-14 19:56

Agreed with other people above. This game is missing a bit of action. Works fine though, which is a good point.

linky439 2017-08-14 21:02

Nice concept! I have to say the battery levels are hard to read unless you're fullscreen, but otherwise it was fun. What kind of superpowered brain do you need to beat the game in hard mode though x)

The game is really nice, it just lacks a bit of audio. Other than that, it is simple, just the way it needs to be. Good job! :)

david-greene 2017-08-16 21:25

It's a unique idea. Ultimately, I found the gameplay to not really be thematic as it doesn't make sense that I'd be going to the phone of "So and so" to send them an emoji. I almost wonder if there could be some other way to accomplish the same gameplay element with a better theme.

But, it's a unique idea nonetheless. Good job.

junber 2017-08-17 00:31

Cool game. It was quite fun but the difference in difficulty between easy and medium felt a bit too big and I would have liked to play something in between but medium wasn't too far of so that wasn't too much of a problem. Maybe a different color-scheme for the battery would have worked better because at first it looked like the batteries started out empty to me. Good job overall nevertheless.

Edit: Sorry. The comment got posted twice and it seems like I can't delete this one.

pcmaster 2017-08-17 12:00

Funny, good job putting this simple one together. Next time try investing a bit into any kind of sounds ;)

guckstift 2017-08-18 20:43

Good concept, but game flow is a bit slow and I hat issues reading the text where the OK Button was over it in windowed mode and the batteries where already dicharging.
