The gameplay is simple but it sucked me right in. For some reason I wasn't able to see the score, so I didn't know how close I was to unplugging the phone. Otherwise I probably would have played till the end. Still, I've put a decent amount of time into it. Wish it was possible to change the music at some point cause it gets a bit repetitive

Really fun! Your game caught my eye because we also made a game about a red telephone :)) .After upgrading as much as I could, I easily got 10000 and saved my family! Surprisingly catchy gameplay, great to play with a nice cup of coffee after an all-nighter!

Didn't expect to see a rotary phone turned into an incremental game. The hand-drawn phone has a lot of charm, and saving up just to unplug it is a funny goal.
Rated! Would appreciate you checking out our entry too if you have time: [Robot Workshop](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/60/trashfight).

@capreola Yes the first version had a bug were you couldn't see the score, oops. I fixed it right after your comment :)

A really fun incremental game actually! I spent a long time trying to understand what the upgrades do, but when I figured it out it became really great! I really like the system you came up with and how you tied it to the jam theme, bravo!
Overall the game looks good, although the feel (animation, controls, sounds and music) of course needs some polish.
Good luck!

It's a tough game, but for some reason I'm totally hooked on it! Those old phones of yours are scary stuff! :)))

Nice game! :) The idea to combine the phone and the incremental gameplay was really nice. Typing multiple phone numbers at once was not an experience I thought I'd ever live, but it was a really enjoyable one! Pure fun numbers enjoyment with a nice analog flavor, reminded me when I was a kid and used to play with those phones! Nice entry, thank you for the game!

Awesome game! The concept of combining a rotary phone with an incremental game is just genius, and the art, music and upgrades/balancing are great! One thing I didn't like as much was the score display, it felt really bloated a lot of the time (even in the early game there were huge calculations far exceding the page's edge) and I found myself rarely ever looking at it. Maybe it would have been better to replace it by a simple text displaying your current score(therefore it could be a bit bigger,making it more readable if you only take a quick glance at it) and have a floating text appear near the cursor whenever you dial in a digit. Loved the game, great job!
Nice game! Really liked the phone concept and the upgrade system. It's fun seeing how you can improve things as you progress. Great work!
