The wobbly wires sound and the watercolour art, mmm perfect! Really nice interpretation of the theme, I enjoyed building and connecting the lines together. Are these levels randomly generated every time? I found myself finding the shortest path and not using much of the other telephone pole types, and some of the levels the phone boxes were just a few phone poles away from eachother?
Nice work!
This game is an absolute perfect game for a zen like atmosphere. The art is incredibly well done it is minimalistic art style.
As for hooking up the phone lines. It should have been really simple. Knowing how it works make the game simple. But not knowing the game makes the game and absolute infuriating mess. This should be made easier and more polish for ease of access.
One thing that I don't understand is the implementation of dead ends and poles that lead into nowhere. A game like this with its zen like atmosphere doesn't need this kind of obstructive puzzle mechanics.
I totally agree! The way the levels are laid out rn are pretty messy, and the phone lines could be alot simpler to connect together. I'll be sure to keep that in mind and thanks for playing!
I couldn't quite figure out how to connect things correctly, but still the game looks and sounds absolutely amazing, I love the wobbly wires! And I also like the take on the theme, very well done!
Wow, very unique and great idea, the art style and mood are very nice too!
A nice, relaxing, atmospheric puzzle game, the whole presentation is great and the concept is a cool take on the theme. Well done!
Beautiful visuals and sound. Great work!
Love the style and premise to the game. I applaud games that are based on everyday worker things.
Very lovely! I really enjoyed the art, music, and sound effects! Excellent job and nice interpretation of the theme!
This is incredibly well presented! And a really quite nice idea, at that. If you fleshed this out a bit I could totally lose hours playing this as a cute, chilled out puzzle game.
It could have used a tutorial on how to play it, but nonetheless, a really cool game!
Nice job, art style, audio and overall flow felt relaxing. It seems to be a game with good narrative openings, right? Like, choosing to whom a character will be talking to, and this leading into different outcomes on the game, like saving a relationship depending on how you connect the calls, stuff like that.
Interesting concept!
Cute art, short but sweet music, good concept. Good job, I had a great time testing it!
Lovely watercolor-ish art style and background music that fits really well. Like it!
I really like the art of the game! Its super relaxing and sets the atmosphere well.
I really loved the art and music for this one, and it has a really gentle game feel. :)
I think that a little more hand holding at start would make it a bit more accessible, but I went back and read the instructions and that got me most of the way there :)
Love the music, art and sound design. the jiggly cables are great. I think there's a lot of potential here and I hope you keep working on it after the jam
Hi floofy!
This game is very well presented with the calming music, sound effects, and visuals. I love the watercolor style and the gentle murmur of people talking on the phone.
I think this game would really benefit if you changed how each level starts. Maybe have the level start very far zoomed so the player can see everything and strategize before zooming in and getting to work.
Overall it is a pleasing and relaxing game to play, well done!
Best,

That's is a really good suggestion! Thank you
Very beautiful game, but I don't really know what I'm doing.
Yeah sorry about that I should explain it better :< Thanks for trying it though, I'm glad you like how it looks!
Cute game ^^
The artwork and animations are beautiful and well thought through. I especially love the details like the whooshing sound when a line is disconnected and how fluid the cables are.
Although as much as I think I understand the concept, I will say I still have no idea how to play.
I love the look and design of this game! Especially the wobble of the lines is great :D
