would be a lot better if the game didn't lag so muchfish.gif

@sakulopa-360 It’s a real sad. What hardware do you use? We tested it, and everything was fine.

Mini games GOOOOOOOD

SMS on last speed is unreal. Some minigames is really easy (like alarm clock) on max speed, some is just on another level like sms or phone call Anyway, it was funny

Ha really fun concept, great job!

charming game. I think it would be really cool to see a version that mixes more tech and dates someone based on the tech they know how to operate. Like the texting phone, the premise of timed puzzles that are very simple but only if you have the context of the technology is really fun.

Love the Warioware style games! I was so close to finishing but lost on level 29

If I had to nitpick I could make is to make the mini games start even faster, I think the delay between the games is a bit too long, but again the mini games were really fun and enjoyable :)

The idea with multiple mini-games was great. Well done!

bokanik 2026-10-20 19:54 ♥ 2

cool game! even multiple mini games feel like old tech, and combining them with real old tech devices feels two layered genre connection.

i felt really old playing this game.. it took me back to when i was gossiping with these phones lol great work! reaaallly fun idea of a gameplay ❤️ but at the latest battery level, i plugged everything in their right slots but lost anyway 😠

The way the difficulties ramp up is really satisfying, and it was a great challenge for testing reaction time. It's so neat seeing the variety of old technology brought together in one single collection.

Pretty fun game, for me the hardest one is getting the clock on correct time, I'm always bad with those. But overall it is a pretty funny and awesome game, very Wario ware style. If you plan on expands, definitively plan on how to best load the new minigames, as it lags every time it loads.

Excellent Warioware style game, with a great range of minigames that could loop and speed up without becoming repetitive. I agree with the comments about the loading times for new scenes, but I'm not sure how that could be done (pre-loading?).

This game really hit me with a WAVE of nostalgia. The retro vibe is incredibly strong. But I felt the difficulty was pretty unbalanced. I couldn't beat the game because I got a task where you have to type a word on a keypad phone. That task is practically impossible for me, I just stare at the phone in complete paralysis. 10/10 Old Tech. Anyway, I like it!

udp Oh, and the game could use some asset preloading. The scenes lagged quite a bit the first time they loaded.

This is really challenging! Especially typing on the rotary phone — it feels impossible to get the text entered in time. I’m also not entirely sure what the cowboy is about. But other than that, this game hit me right in the nostalgia. Great job!

Haha, I liked it! Fun little game, perfect for a jam. Congrats on your first jam!

the3rdhunter 2026-10-21 21:09 ♥ 1

Great job. Inserting VHS tapes and T9 typing really brought me back. I really felt the nostalgia. Great format for a game jam game as well. I enjoyed all the art and the music. Overall a really great game.

This was so addicting! I used to love playing wario ware and the timing and fast understanding of the mini games were spot on! image.png

rafa-fiedo 2026-10-22 11:46 ♥ 2

oh god, it is like few game jams at once! So great game! At first I thought there will be 30 different mini games haha, but increase difficulty by speed up is a clever idea!

fifut 2026-10-22 15:20 ♥ 2

Memories of the days when you could text without having to look at your phone. I haven't lost my skill.

Congrats on this fun collection! Quick verb prompts, a timer bar and three hearts make each microgame easy to grasp, and the synthwave grid and chunky lettering feel cohesive. Thanks for the energy. Awesome game, really!

Really cute minigames, fits the theme super well.

darkwing00duck 2026-10-23 19:29 ♥ 2

My favorite part was the minigame where you type out text messages and set the time!

ivankapcov 2026-10-24 18:32 ♥ 0

It was a fun game. My home phone didn't have a full set of letters, so I don't even know how to do it on the keypad. And sending text messages was a real challenge, too. I'd completely forgotten where all the letters were located.

pan-pan 2026-10-25 17:54 ♥ 0

Such a fun idea! I love the concept of turning old technology into a collection of little reaction-time challenges. Having 10 different minigames with multiple difficulty levels makes it perfect for that classic “okay, ONE more try” experience. And of course, everything gets faster just when you start feeling confident. 😭 My reaction time might not survive this, but I'm having fun anyway! Great job!

matthewdrake 2026-10-25 20:38 ♥ 0

21 levels, so close! I'm a huge fan of microgame games and love the ones you came up with here. Nicely done!

Haaaa! XD This is pretty cute! Those mini games are REALLY MINI :D

This made me smile a lot :))
