I'm a big fan of analog radio systems, especially use of morse code, and this game is easily the most fun portrayal of it that I've come across! Here's a video of my experience with it:
I appreciate how you took the time to program in a realistic press and release transmitting system, it adds so much more to the experience that most games never even attemptThe concept is simple, but I would love to see this expanded on in the future. Maybe in later stages, things become more complex, and you do more than just repeat words that you come across. A situation where a frequency is requesting help, and you respond to it with instructions, or coordinates for artillery fire. There's a lot of possibilities!
My only minor complaint:
- It should be more intuitive to sit down at the desk. I like how standing up has a prompt that tells you to click to stand up, so I think sitting should also show a prompt to sit down when standing near and looking at the station
Nice this very very good game I like it and well made well done keep it up!
Fantastic game! =)
Thank you so muchh! ^^
