Awesome game, but i would like to point out that there is no such thing as "outdated sci-fi" :D
Cool game, frustrating, as it happens with this situations in real life. Once I screamed at them for a long time, it surprisingly worked xD
Such a brilliant game! I can't help but feel annoyed. Great job!
That was really cute! I loved the artwork and audio. Everything fit together so neatly. It was really polished. Perhaps you captured frustration too accurately.
Pretty much nailed the "customer service" experience. I laughed a few times, but only to cover up my uncontrollable inner sorrow as I remembered my own calls from years past. Good job!
I think I got the good ending. I need to go spend a week in the forest with no technology soon.
Haha, I've been pretty much through this exact thing before XD
(also, nice touch by adding the 'cellphone near speaker sound' in there) :)
Awesome. I hope it will never happen to me ever AGAIN ;) Great game... Excellent audio
5/5 in everything! make moar! this is amazing. PS. make a mobile version too!
That was delightfully maddening. I laughed several times! The music was very well-chosen, at first sounding relaxing, but gave the impression of having subtly condescending undertones as things progressed. Great job.
Great game! Hilarious. Would love some added scenarios!!
Good going. But I hope you can fix the save/load/options menu.
Quite amusing. And art-wise it's really nice. I especially enjoyed the music.
Haha, what an infuriating game! I love it. The music and the crazy blinking modem cracked me up ;)
Really like the take on the theme. Also reminds me of IGTCED, but the other way round. The soundtrack was pretty fire - the static noise made me check my headset :P
- Qualia
I did it! Very funny. (I could totally have tried to re-play the game in October.)
Point was really made! Lovely little adventure about something we can all relate to. It was as frustrating as the situation is in reality, but with a sense of humour and nice production values to offset that! Glad I played it, cheers :)
"Thats plenty of time to get a few more hours into this MMO-RPG-RTS-FPS roguelike-like match-three game i've been working on." Omg dude that was so hilarious x'D
The game was so fun, hilarious and the story was so awesome xD Excelente work! i also loved the music!!! The phone call was so useless xD
I really want to play this game but I can't seem to get it past my anti-virus software.
It took a while for the best joke to appear, but it was definitely worth looping through tech support a whole bunch to get it.
Graphically, I really like the skeumorphism you have going - all realistic textures, but /just/ stylized enough to not feel out of place. The music choice is really good too.
I think the overall experience could be improved if the "It's been an hour since..." increased every time that message came up, and if the background shifted to evening lighting as you kept playing. Thanks for making this!
amazing game, great writing! so frustrating and fun!
Very close to reality. Refreshing browser, reseting modem, turning on and off the computer, and that all 100 times.
Really funny game, I like how much options you have instead of a straight forward story.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
God, this is soooo frustrating!!! Great game!
