got curious because of the nokia inspired phone, stayed for the humor - nice game!

Nice Game. I liked the Humor in the Conversation, as well as the different roles you could take in each answer. I liked the music, but the typing sound became annoying after the second try

Great humor, to be honest I was expecting more consequences to playing the smart-ass dialogue lines, but it was fun nonetheless!

Really cool take on the theme, at some points the conversation didn't seem to flow particularly smoothly but that's understandable in the time limit. I really liked how much it was like the sword fighting in monkey island!​

Lovely idea, absolutely original, but sometimes the game glitched out and I couldn't really read the dialogues. Excellent work anyway!

It's a cool concept. Also big fan of the Nokia N95.

So far one of the best game I have seen. I really love how you took "Keep It Alive" in such an original way. Big big thumbs up :3 . The humor is really here, with some dev jokes that made me smile.
If I could add a negative point, it's that sometimes the dialogs seems to be incoherent (Saying what the hell are you looking for when he told you that a minute ago). It's such a minor detail really, you can be proud :3c

Very good take on the theme. I enjoyed the sometimes absurd dialogs. It makes it very funny (even if we are talking about a guy who threatens to blow the city up! 😅 )

This was great. The music was pretty good and set the tone well, the gui was great and easy to use. The dialogue though, that's great. Amazing job.

I can see a good idea here, please keep exploring it, with different scenarios, maybe based on characteristics of the criminal like an rpg, and you get tips while talking to them.

Oh my god!

This game is really nice, very humorous!

I had a nice time, the dialogs are funny, well done! (And Bojack Horseman is a great show)

I love it!

I really liked the overall mood of the game and it was very polished. Plus we need more games featuring old Nokia phones. I think that the feature I miss the most is having more values to balance (similar to Reigns), the management side felt a bit shallow with just one. Finished it on the first attempt :-P

Congrats on finishing such a polished thing in 2 days!

This was a very funny game, with a very original take on the theme, congrats for that. I wasn't sure when the bar went up or down, but the conversation was so hilarious that I stopped paying attention at the bar just to see the terrorist behaviour at my responses. The sound was nice, the text a bit too small, and the Nokia model was excellent. Congratulations!

I really liked this game! It's a very innovative idea and a great take on the theme. I liked all the different paths you could take in order to keep the conversation going, and the way you needed to balance between them. Overall, a great entry!

The game worked really well. It's easy to play and the conversation was actually quite funny with some strange choices which want me to play the game more to uncover them all.

Well done!

I like how you break the 4th wall. 5 stars for humour :D

I played a few times (till I won ^^) and the dialog felt kinda random: I was never quite sure what would set the terrorist off and which effect each action would have (does the color of the vertical bar mean anything?), and when I found out the prompts appeared in a random order I was disappointed (though now the more I think about it the more I like it; and the fact I hadn't noticed in my first playthrough means they were well-done).
But I had fun, and the dialogs were funny!

Fun game, a little tricky to figure out which messages would solicit which response, but that's kinda the point I suppose. Very innovative and clever game.
