This game is really polished and pretty. The mechanic of having to search for the names and which socket they connect to is really great and a lot of fun but it is a little difficult and it could ramp up slower so that the player can start learning the names and where they connect. Overall really fun and challenging game.
hi nice game interesting
Awesome game! Really taxing and stressful in the right ways. The art is on point
Love this game! The art is great and the physics of the rope + plugging in the jacks is super satisfying.
Hi Gallsy!
Very cool take on joined together! Man, operators had it tough back in the day. I had a lot of trouble with this one, I am not quick enough to connect these poor people to their emergency services!
The tutorial is nice, but I feel like the difficulty ramps up instantly after it ends. Maybe try building the player's confidence first by giving them just two calls at once. They will start to learn the phone book and maybe not need it so often!
Great sound and art! Very well executed. Good luck!
Best,

Really nice take on the theme.
Interesting how adding a global leaderboard can make me want to try again! :P
Great job!
Really cool game, intersting concept ! However I admit that I can stress easily, and this exercise stress me a lot xD Really cool experience overall !
oh my this was a journey, I believe I saw this passing during the weekend at discord! Really cool game, but i'm very bad at it, I had 117 points I believe! The pressure was making me choke it! :') Very amazing though! Love it!
Thanks for playing our game, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
My submission had a very similar mechanic! I love the way you animated the plugs and had a drop-shadow for the cables, though. If you design any more in this space, I'd love to swap notes sometime.

Really well made! Very stressful but connecting the people is worth the stress!
Neat idea! I love the way the jack plugs in and the physics of the ropes feel great.
Becomes super stressful real quick hah!
Congrats on submitting!
Stressful but fun game with smooth animations. The graphics and sound were nice and polished and the game felt polished overall.
Great idea!
it was a bit stressful, the urgent call were a good idea, but it would have been nice to have a bit more time to make the connections and reorganise the cables.
The connection sfx is very satisfying :)
Very well executed!
Quite the interesting and unique game you got there. Visuals are also very pleasing, but there’s nothing to tell you how long the game will go on for (losing/winning condition)
A unique concept, and well-presented! Quite stressful, though...
Scored only 24 at the end of the day. Not good but I guess it's positive ^^
The game is extremely beautiful and fits the theme well. I'd also say it's chill, but it gets really stressing after a while :s
Cool experience anyway !
This game is so much fun. Who know such a simple and relaxing game can be so addicting and stressful at the same time
I ended with a high score of -21 xD
I really liked the notebook to look up names. It was difficult to play quickly, but I blame my touchpad for that. The call board got chaotic and tangled so quickly! The tutorial was clear, and I like how it appeared in the same spot as the call orders later, so I was already accustomed to looking there. Great job overall!
Thanks for the feedback and taking a look! It was pretty tricky to balance.
I know what you mean about the trackpad, we've just played it on one and it does add a level of difficulty!
Firstly, really cute integration with the background of the itch.io page, I really loved that hahah Anyways, this game is really polished and felt full fledged. The build into chaos was perfect for a jam game to keep you in it and invested for the whole ride. Seriously loved it!
Fantastic job and great execution!
I would love to see this built out into levels so you can slowly master the mechanics and get more chaotic with it!
