(This game was made in 48 hours for the GameMaker's Toolkit 2021 GameJam)

(Playing the game in full screen is highly recommended!) You work as a Switchboard Operator, and you'll receive calls that tell you who they want to get in contact with. Connect each caller's jack with the person they want to call's jack using the same pair of cables.

How to play:

  • A light will get lit up when someone's calling from that jack. Grab one cable from a pair of cables and connect it to see what they want.
  • Once they tell you who they want to call, find them on the phone guide and connect the other cable from the pair on the corresponding jack.
  • While they're talking, their jacks' lights and the pair of cables' lights will all light up. Once they are off, the conversation is over and it's safe to unplug the cables! (You can right click on them to do it faster)
  • Try to get the highest score within 2:30 minutes!

Amazing game

(+2)

interesting but im positive there was a please hold back then never did anyone need to calll so urgently back then waiting 5 mins was considered fast

Yeah, we scratched the idea of making it too historically accurate almost at the beginning. We wanted to add the switches and even options to tell people the lines they were trying to call weren't available, etcetera. We might expand on it in the future!

Thanks for playing! :^)
