Love the tone! The concept is great, I like the oddball style. The gameplay would benefit greatly from randomization of colors and letters over the course of a round to avoid feeling monotonous, but overall great game!

So much fun! The gameplay is super iconic and the core loop fits the theme perfectly. Very catchy! I’m actually curious how did you handle the wire physics?

Really funny take on the theme lol, the wire physics and graphics really worked well - it would have been nice if the wire socket buttons were slightly bigger, but other than that I had a lot of fun scamming bee grandmas, nice job!

Cute game! You might just be the first entry in the switchboard genre of videogames... those wire physics are immaculate. I liked the art's vibe and fun music. Very nicely done overall!

The first game of this genre I have played from this jam and I enjoyed it. Was easy to pick up (after failing the first round) and I felt more hooked into playing than I have with most games from the jam. I also really liked the little profile pictures, how did you build these? Kudos

@vorkuta We’re really glad you’re enjoying the game! I did the scammer bee profile pictures, and another artist did the grandma profile pics.(In Blender) We essentially created a base mesh and a bunch of random accessories for modulation, the process was more involved but that’s the gist! As for the actual cards, the expert programmers figured out how to make those procedural if I’m not mistaken!

I had fun playing! really funny premise and youve managed to do alot in 72 hrs, well done!

I don't know if I should feel remorse for all the grandmas I just helped scam, but here we are!

Great game everything just seemingly worked. Played it through to buying all the upgrades. Visually looks very nice and polished for a jam game. Wire physics are on point.

Fantastic job to the whole team!

you played with theme is good, we have same core mechanic in our game)))

This is a really unique game idea and I love it! Feels like a full finished game and is crazy for having been made in so little time. I am terrible at it, though!

eden-zorro 2026-04-21 22:58

The game is very good. The wires added a really cool charm, the music is good, and the game's art is very appealing. I liked it a lot!

alpaca 2026-04-21 23:05

this is incredible! you all did an amazing job in such a short period of time.

yarcha 2026-04-22 09:35

The game looks nice, and the music is captivating. It was a bit difficult to grasp the concept. Thanks.

yodak 2026-04-22 16:23

Cool game! I really like the grandmas and scammers renders and the chord physics!

fenix131113 2026-04-22 17:12

Very beautiful graphics, but it's difficult to understand how to play from start

stormdrill 2026-04-22 22:43

Looks really pleasant! The wire physics is amazing. For some reason, those interesting faces reminded me of Neighbors from Hell

pipetto 2026-04-23 07:22

I like the concept—it’s quite a topical theme

kauri-j 2026-04-23 07:38

Great game! Very interesting! I like the art style so much! And the background is very funny and it makes me laugh.

herzogvonwiesel 2026-04-23 09:53

Hahah, finally gives you the feel of how buzz-y the work of a line operator had to be! Endearing game, loved the character models especially!

2026-04-23 19:31

Super fun take on the theme and loved the overall aesthetic. Really great execution on mechanics and made the game engaging.

aniretti 2026-04-24 13:56

a fun game and an interesting take on the theme! the graphics remind me of 2010s cartoons.

the plug is sometimes difficult to insert because you instinctively want to insert it through the tip, not the base.

the letters in the grandmas and scammers profiles are also a bit hard to read. when there are more than three simultaneous calls, the game becomes a real mess. but i guess that's the point — to experience stress.

it's a bit confusing when you start a round and don't have many options. for example, Grandma has a house and money, and the scammer only works with the cars. of course, it might not have as much of an impact as i think, but at first it's scary and you think you're doing something wrong x)

the leveling and progression system is reminiscent of a mobile game. i think if you develop in this direction, you will get a great mobile game!

great submission, well done!

Engaging and easy to get into.

scottyartt 2026-04-26 20:09

looks polished. very good

zathnic 2026-04-26 21:27

Felt overwhelming at first, but once it clicked, it became fun to move the mouse around quickly to connect sockets! Perhaps each letter should appear twice, because right now you can just look for the one correct letter and ignore the colors

venomousmouse 2026-05-04 07:53

Very funny and charming art. Great mechanic, sound and overall mood. Nice game.

kayrum 2026-05-05 20:18
