Damn, this art is top notch, something else. I really dont get what to do in the game. I've been listening to people introducing themselves for a few days. I clicked on a file and it mvoed but now its stuck there.

Im sorry I cannot apprecciate the gameplay but the fantasy of being an operator is super nice and the art is on another level.

Great game, I really like the art style!

I couldn't figure out what to do at first and the font is too small for embedded web version, but I really love the drawing. A good twist on "connection"!

Good work, I enjoyed a lot.

The idea is pretty cool. Though the controls are a bit difficult, I enjoyed the art and music ;)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! We can definitely agree that the controls and UI could use more polish.

Beautiful art and nice interpretation of the theme!

Very cool art! Lovely music and sound effects gives it a very calm atmosphere.  I had somewhat of a hard time reading the text and had to give up match making after a round of two as for some reason I can no longer bring the notes on the very back to the front so I can read them.  Really wish I can undo the cables though, I keep plug into the wrong holes that is under the numbers instead of the ones above them.  The ratings my accidental couple gave me were not pretty. 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! We were unsure whether to make the cables unpluggable or not, maybe we made the wrong decision. As for the numbering problem as well as the text size, those were problems that we were aware of but couldn't get around to fixing sadly :( Perhaps we'll upload a small post-jam after the rating ends, with small quality of life fixes like that.

This is such a cool interpretation of the theme! The art style and music are super charming and fit perfectly with the tone of the game. All the little details come together to make it a really satisfying experience. Really great!

I like it!!

Aha! Nice way to interpret the theme. And what a lovely feel the art and sound gives to the game.

I felt a little lost in the beginning but after the "first day" I understood clearly the goal and how to play through the rest of the game. Other than that, I had a pleasant experience.
