Pretty fun. I kept mis-aligning the cursor as I instinctively thought the index finger was the "middle".
Would have loved some osbtacles or similar to make the progression harder or maybe cables of different length?
But very good job! <3
Sadly my flow state was so strong that I immediately clicked away my final scorecard. I think my score was 257.something doll hairs?
Great entry!
I played but unfortunately got stuck as no more calls seemed to come through. I Did a couple but then they stopped (see in screenshot below).

However, this was indeed a fun a catchy game to play. Took me a bit to get used to the mouse cursor and the mechanics. I do like how you can start off with the plugs in place, which makes it easier to play. The mechanics are indeed fun, the jostling cables are fun, the mouse cursor is fun, the music is cute. Well done!
Was fun though. Only the controls felt a little unreliable. Made me feel like I was a rather hamfisted operator :D
The music was cool too.
Sort of reminds me of Papers Please :)
I thought the stuff the little characters were saying on the phone line was funny.
Def enjoyed my time spent with this game
Sometimes you run into some problems with the cursor when you need to press buttons.
Really nice game with unique athmosphere and style. The music was super great and set up the mood so great. The game play is hectic and i dropped many calls but dont know why since there was so much happening, i thought i connect it right way but still got the error sound after many calls ended, might be just user error though but thats how i felt.
Really great entry was fun to play!
Well done, team!
In addition to the bug mentioned above, I also ran into an issue where a receiving call was overwritten by a new call in the same slot.
But overall, for the polished experience and the great idea, I am happy to give you a good rating. I had fun playing it!
My main criticism would be that it felt like the grab area was off - often times it took me a few clicks to get one of the ends even though the hand was definitely over it. And maybe some sort of colour code for the different conversation (although at the same time, this was also part of the fun - remembering the pairs when there were 3 or 4 conversations open at once).
Definitely the people working with connecting calls in the past were truly unsung heroes.
