How does the game fit the theme?
Don't let anything wrong to happen as a 911 operator
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Game is fully made from scratch. Sound design, graphics, animations, music and code are made by me from scratch during the jam except for the brick wall in the main menu - it's downloaded from free assets.

Super game ! I really like the idea, that's super innovative, well made and efficient !
Thank you!
Amazing game, great work from scratch good job :)
Thank you!
I loved the game! feels like fnaf but it's all 911 related. The graphics are simple but match the gameplay greatly. Well done!
Thank you!
This was really good! I think if you expanded the game a bit more it could be a full fledged game for steam!
Thank you! I'm gonna make it as a full Steam release, so If you're interested in trying out full refined version you can sub my twitter or my newsletter :)
pretty nice game! easy to play and is also pretty fun. I'll probably play this again!

Wow! What a good take on the theme! The gameplay is really good too and the eerie music adds a lot to the experience.
I saw your post the other day about "Should I put this game on steam?" Hell yeah, of course you should. I played through the game and loved it. My point is you need another week or two to make it a real hit. Great job and good luck!

But it definetely will take a lot more than just a week or two - more like 2-4 months :D
Great game! I went completely. I would like more days, two days have passed so quickly... This is really a very good job and an effective game design. I think you can make a roguelike.

really nice work! i love your idea and execution was great, very cool!
Thank you!
This is a proper game. Very well made. I loved the immersion and the premise of the game. A solo dev creating this in a week is amazing. You have some proper game development chops. I really enjoyed this game and admit it was one of my favs from the jam. Great work!

Enjoyable and inmersive. I recall watching similar games but can't remember any names nor the genre (though city planners kinda fit too, I guess?).
It reminded me a bit of "Plague Inc." too, with the nice "text reports" feedback, and the moving vehicles, each with its own (light-based!) style.
Setting events beforehand like the "concert" is a nice touch to the general micromanagement gameplay, adding difficulty without simply reducing timers or similar shortcuts.
Congrats! Good job. Definitely impressive for a single dev in 1 week.
Thank you! There actually are similar games, I personally was referencing more to This is Police, but it turned out there are very popular games '911 operator' and '112 operator' on Steam I did not know about.

Will check it out!
Thank you for the sub :)
Amazing game! Things i really enjoyed: the overall concept, the interactive tutorial which explained the game very well, the fact you actually have to read and understand people's request, an the incredible sound design. Fantastic job!
Thank you!
Very well done!
I like that you're lights for the various services, it gives it a nice atmosphere and saves having to source/create those sprites/vehicles. The music really heightens the mood as well.
Thank you!
Such a great idea, and really well put together. Would be great to see where you could take the idea, perhaps with a growing city or the ability to grow the size of each emergency service.
Thank you! I'm gonna push it up to a playable Steam demo state and then release it, so you can follow me if you're interested in trying it out :)

Great game! I like that the game (at least in the current days) has a relatively low difficulty, and even when I didn’t have a police uniform for the call, nothing critical happened. The minimalist atmosphere is very pleasant! I would like to see the call icons a bit larger!
Thank you for feedback!
I like the game overall. I wish the calls were more evenly spaced (but I guess it's more realistic getting big batches of call at once?). I also think the game could be more visually appealing if you went for a simpler art style (like Mini Metro or something). I think it has alot of potential, good game!
Thank you for feedback!
Amazing game. I did not expect something like this. Everything worked well, very nice tutorial, big number of different calls. Really great job, especially for solo deving. My only issues would be visuals, some actual cars and buildings would be nice, maybe more visible calls, I missed one I didn't even notice and the peace in city was influenced very little when I didn't do something so maybe changing that to increase the pressure. Other than that I would just add things like upgrades to units, different situations.
Really great job.
Thank you for the praise! I also wish I could make better visuals but thats what I was capable of given reasonable time limits :)
Yeah, that missed call about stalker, I also wonder where is it gone - probably some kind of misconfiguration.
Thank you for feedback!
INCREDIBLE WORK!
Thank you!
100%! Am live on stream rn and doing a tier list for all the games I've played so far. 3 games made S tier and this is one of them. I really can't understate how impressive this is :)
Wow, thank you! Checked out your play footage, glad you liked it :)
I actually really was a bit afraid it can 'destroy people emotionaly'.
I'm gonna invest a several months into it to build up a full game so you can sub me here or here if you're interested in trying it out :)
You shouldn't be afraid to impact people's emotions! That's what art was made to do! :)
Yeah, you're right
loved this game, out of my rated games, this is my favorite
Thank you!
Love the idea and this one is really a good one but I wish to see some vehicle sprites instead of flashing lights but great concept with great potential.
Thank you!
