Interesting concept. The dialogue is fun. My current funds stopped appearing in the shop after day 2. Great job, there's a lot of replayability here.

The concept is pretty unique. It would be pretty cool if this game had voice acting, but I guess that might get repetitive too.

If I have 10$ or more I cant see my balance because the text would be too wide. I assume it's a resolution and text overflow thing.

It seems that the calls have no duration. The first time that somebody wanted a line that was already in use I wasn't sure what to do.

Cool concept! Well done! :)

@handle @almost Oooooh so that's what it is. I spent ages trying to fix it and gave up because I had to fix other stuff. And as for the call duration I did try to add it in and stop the user from pulling the cord out until a call has finished but I didn't get time to implement it as it would have likely required a rewrite of most of the games code :P

and @orcdraco Thanks!

I have never seen a concept quite like this before. It looked really nice, and the mechanics were pretty interesting once I understood what exactly was happening. Seemed like sometimes it was a little difficult to line up the jacks, though, or sometimes a little tough to pick up the lines.

Keep up the good work!

It's a really nice concept (even though it's basically simplified papers please), and it's executed quite well. However the game feels a bit too repetitive and the dialogue seem a bit too bland for me to give this a fully positive review. However the presentation and polish are top notch, and you did the concept justice :)

I'm a terrible call operator and died of starvation! Great game, great song and good take on the theme! Congratulations!

I'm very bad at this. Nice game tho, with a very unique concept and great athmosphere! Well done, and good luck this LD!

Great game with a concept that kind of reminds me of my own last game (for Ludum Dare 39), but your game makes about everything better! Some nice calming music, challenging gameplay with a bit of a survival aspect to it as well and the humor doesn't come short either. I really like it, nice job!

The game is fun too play, but if fast gets really difficult.

The stressful management gameplay is p entertaining. Really exercises that threaded brain muscle. Grabbing the noodles was a little difficult sometimes though. That, and random slowdowns which might be related to the web version.

Pretty cool and very stressful, though I felt the talking sound was a bit too loud and out of place.

Fun idea, and it seems like a game with great storytelling potential. This game may also work really well with VR with some modifications. I think some changes that can be made would be to maybe modify the talking audio? Otherwise, great job!
