Despite that, it's a good thing there aren't any time limits or anything, because the game's hard enough as it is! It also took me a while to realize that the other languages were letter-by-letter "translations" of Earth letters, so I was thankful to have had the time to make that link. :P\r\rIt was also nice to see that there are quite a few responses for every call, so it's never in the player's best interest to guess an answer. It's also great that the four direct responses change per call, so the experience remains fresh for the whole game. Well done! (And yes, it was a good CALL (hahaha) to make the change to show the last message on the Phrase Book screen, just for convenience.)"}],"images":["ld30\/36122-21c00513bf524e88242b2df153667c4d.jpg","ld30\/36122-9c549bdf72b16b1808ada052ed2d9954.jpg","ld30\/36122-cebce29a9f106b0479157853c7650f5a.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/helloworldstudios.co.uk\/intergalactic-call-center\/","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/?dad1dncpdce3x70","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"16560","g_author":"36122","g_event":"LD30","g_eventkey":"24","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"16589","g_title":"Intergalactic Call Center","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"110","g_commentcount":"22","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/36122-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/36122-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/36122-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"The Intergalactic Call Center has been connecting calls, transferring customers and giving useful information about our galaxy since 2078 and now you're employed!
