So, I played the game, didn't understand what was going on, so I looked at the comments and I saw that I wasn't the only one. Then I read the developer's message explaining the game. I went back, played again, and I won? At least that's what it said on the screen.

I see potential in this game but I think its biggest problem is feedback, or lack there of. I believe a quick tutorial will go a long way. Also, adding some sound effects or some music can add more to the player experience and make the game more enjoyable.

Overall, not bad, considering that it was made in 2 days. Keep it up

Welcome to Linkbro systems! Your job is to maximize server uptime. Monitor the modems to ensure they stay connected. Tap a modem to plug or unplug it.

To keep systems operational, you need to:

  1. Wait until the indicator light turns red
  2. Tap the modem to disconnect it
  3. Wait until the indicator light turns off
  4. Tap the modem again to reconnect it

That's it! 

Here's a guide to the indicator lights:

  • SOLID GREEN: Connected. All systems go!
  • FLASHING GREEN: Establishing connection.
  • YELLOW: Powering down.
  • RED: Error! The modem is experiencing connection problems and needs to be power cycled.
  • BLACK (OFF): The modem is unplugged and powered down. Tap to plug it in.

You can view the chat on your monitor to ensure that systems are operational but please respect our users' privacy.

Thanks,

Boss Lady

Hi plpgamedev! Thanks so much for your feedback. A lot of people were having this problem so I created a little onboarding email to hopefully clear things up. Hope this helps! Let me know. :)
