This game is very addicting! The concept is great, it perfectly fits the theme, and it's fun!
I like the old TV feeling you added here and the rules were simple and easy to follow. Great game all around!

Very interesting game, well done!
After the first few minutes money wasn't much of an issue and it reminded me of Simcity, as the packet traffic didn't feel like it could be solved, but I found it oddly relaxing.
This is probably the most fun I've had in the jam so far! The game starts off fairly slowly, but before you know it you're frantically trying to fix problems all over the place (nothing like a power cut in the center part of your early graph of connections to throw your plans out the window). Once you get past the middle game (maybe 10 minutes in) you're usually not going to have any issues, but overall I felt the difficulty curve was spot on (you always feel like you're sitting on the edge of your chair, waiting for a new computer to spawn, but it always feels doable).
But for me what set the game apart from many others is that it felt polished: there was a detailed (and humorous) tutorial, the UI felt good to use, the art style was great (I loved the retro look), it matched the theme well. But most importantly, it just felt *good* to play, it was enjoyable.
Really good job! This is a game to be proud of.
A really fun game, found myself playing this game for about an hour.

Iits woderful.
This is amazing.
sticky game. I played for a long time. I join the comments. The game is great.
This is such an excellent game! It's incredibly satisfying watching the messages travel through the network, although this tranquil fascination quickly fades after the random events start happening and you realise half the network isn't receiving any packets! The core gameplay loop is nice and simple with the events making it enjoyable to play over time as you have to constantly adapt to network conditions. It's also nice how realistic thing are represented in the game. Really good work!
My only feedback is that I think a constantly visible indicator of how many connections a node has left before it's full would be usefull since I found in frantic moments I was just randomly hovering over different nodes to pick the first empty connection rather than being able to think strategically about it.
I'm gonna be honest, I didn't think I would enjoy this game, but man, it kept me in and grinding!
I actually got to what appears to be an infinite loop as I have everything maxed out and nothing can take me out, but that being said, it is still a wonderfully fun game!
