The SwitchBoard by paps

[raw]
made by paps for LD30 (JAM)
You play as a phone switch board agent in this Point and click type game.
Your mission is to allow people to call each other, by making the connection.
Select the correct two people that wants to interact.
But be careful of mistake and long wait time.
People usually don't like that.

Have fun

A little confusing, but ultimately a pretty neat puzzle game!

Confused on how to play. It feels like I'm selecting the right things in the right way, but it only chooses to go through sometimes.

great game, really tense! there's a few context click bugs but other wise it's solid.

Hard game but fun! I liked the music, made it more intense. I think it would be better if there weren't calls being requested that were still in use.

Nice game! I enjoyed the challenge. Excellent theme idea.


Also, regarding the comment on my bird pooping simulator game, the fruit is currently symbolic and educational more than anything. If I had another hour, I'd make the fruit combinations relate to different poo, which in turn grows different trees, which you can then eat to make even more different trees. I'm very happy you enjoyed the game. Thank you for playing it and giving some feedback!

I was actually feeling pretty stressed out playing this, haha. The audio does a great job creating tension.

Hehe, made the mistake of going straight to the highest difficulty.

(didn't end well)

It's confusing that the same person apparently wants to make calls to multiple people... at the same time!

Nice game, can get a bit frustrating cuz you try to select the first end of a call you want to establish but if you select the next one (that just finished a call), the game thinks you want to select that as a first end of a call, so you have 2 "first ends" and you need to deselect them and start over.
Nevertheless, I like the concept :)

Does it ever end? Good take on the theme. Well done!

A little bit confusing, because of the numbers which wanted to call to two different numbers at the same time. Thank you for your game.

Strangely addicting! I included it in part 16 of my Ludum Dare 30 Compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/bMx3RCVCht0
