Hi Daniel, nice entry, nice design and gameplay. I used phone storage as the basis of my game too - unfortunately not as polished as yours. Great work!
Dang. My friends sure can text fast. You should try to make an android build of this and play it on a real phone! I think it would be even better if you could use the touch controls for that extra level of immersion.
How did they send text so fast? What a mean friends to have! Anyhow, it is a nice and simple game. I enjoyed playing it.
This is a really nice game! This is simple but the concept is interesting and I love the use of the theme.
Geez, my friends are vicious. Neat little game, and very well polished. If you decide to expand it, I'd totally dig a highscore system or powerups.
Cool game with a simple concept. I like the UI and interpretation of the theme. Surprised by the polish! Good job.
Great job on the visuals and sound effects of this game! Music was a nice choice, very stressful haha. I thought I beat the game... but then I got locked into airplane mode!! Oops, haha.
The game closes once you reach the end, which I feel isn't ideal because you have to restart it to play again. This might be a style choice, I suppose, but it's a little frustrating. Also, the text in the beginning that explains the game appears veeeeery slowly and is not skippable as far as I can tell, which is frustrating when you are doing multiple playthroughs. :thinking:
Intro should be skippable. The text is very slow and I couldn't find any way to speed it up. This was very annoying on my second and third playthroughs. On the third playthrough I had only 20 seconds left for the timer... I probably would have tried again but I didn't want to go through the intro another time :)
Except for that, really cool, original concept, and fun game! :)
Nice idea :)
The intro is painfully slow and unskippable! The game itself is a click fest, but boy, your "friends" are really typing fast. It would be nice to have a shorter time for a first stage. As it is now you have to keep clicking fast for three minutes, which is quite tiresome. Other then that, very polished, good music and sound effects. Well done!
Great concept, fantastic execution, game works perfectly and is fun to play. Even has entertaining music too, which I found to be a bonus! It would've been a nice addition to the game if you'd implemented a score at the end, such as total messages deleted, or time survived, and perhaps some concept of progression; if your phone lasts till next year, maybe you get a new, better one, which extends the time until your eternal fate of a broken phone, allowing you to get a higher score? But considering the limited time frame, this is an excellent game which I thoroughly enjoyed!
The sound effects made it soo addicting. It was the perfect amount of stressful. So is there an ending where you get a phone? Or do you just lose either way? The graphics are actually beautiful for the phone and background (ignoring the silly icons ofc), and it added a lot to the final look. This was genuinely thrilling to play.
I can see this game easily being built upon (in the future) where you can't delete the posts of the girl too frequently, for example. Or just having levels where you keep get better phones, like someone above suggested, or enter diff stages of life and so need to be more careful/specific about frequency of deletions.
Nice game! I'm curious how the math works behind the number of texts per person over time! A fun entry.
Great game. Love the idea. Simple, but very good entry.
Great work on the audio. There's no sound effect besides the ding when you get a new message, which is good because there's nothing distracting you from the core gameplay. The background music sets up a tense mood, and I notice that the mood of the music seems to escalate as you get into the last minute of the game.
Graphics-wise, the blurred background helps to immerse you into the premise of being in a room somewhere (doesn't really matter where) trying to keep your phone from breaking down. The interface seems intuitive enough, I could tell what things are and what I need to be doing even without a tutorial. It would be nice if each contact had a unique photo, but it's not a big issue.
The ending is hilarious when you win. This poor guy should probably just stick with handwritten notes.
hhhhh i like it ! i tried hard to reach the airplane mode but i failed xD its soo fast x) and i like those kind of challenges ^^ high rated good job (y) ;)
Really fun idea and story but the gameplay does not last very long for me though. Interesting version of a clicker. I would suggest making the bin buttons larger and maybe have some more visual feedback on which chat that have lots of messages. There are the numbers but takes longer time to find/read than if the bar change color or something.
Funny and original idea!
I think the difficulty is just right, I managed to win on my third try. My only complaint is that the intro text should be skippable.
Other than that, very solid entry!!
Funny game to spend with it some time, but it becames repetitive when you play it long time. Good job!! Keep on it!!
Very silly game. It's a lose-lose scenario haha!! I played once and filled up the device storage fairly quickly then played again and reached airplane mode... only to find out I CAN'T DISABLE AIRPLANE MODE LOL!
Cool take on the theme, I would like to see some more depth to the gameplay like random notifications or things that pop up on the screen to mix up the gameplay just a bit.
I think this could make a really cool mobile game, I mean it is basically already running on a phone. Also really liked the simple details like how the real time is displayed at the top of the phone.
Overall I enjoyed your game. Congratulations on making a game in 48 hours!
I loved it but wow so difficult, I never made it to airplane mode :cry: . The music and audio design were great, it added an extra layer to the intensity. Awesome entry
This game was really addictive, and is very good at quickly become fast-paced and creating urgency. I feel like the text at the beginning could have come up faster though.
