Patchover
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Set in a cassette futurism communication station, Patchover is a real-time, sci-fi puzzle game with diegetic controls. As the appointed operator of a central communications relay, you are tasked with maintaining communications between the Outer Colonies and the Inner Planets. Make quick decisions on what messages to prioritize, and plug in the cables to start message transfers.
Be aware that stations will overload and shut down if the message queue fills up. If too many are lost, you will be relieved of duty.
Can you keep up with the message flow?

I really like the concept and everything looked and played nice, though I did struggle to work out if I'm doing it right or not. But would love to see where you take it :)
Thank you for the comment! I intend on adding a more detailed tutorial in the future, but if you manage to transfer messages by connecting the orange cable plug to the orange port on a station sending, and the green cable plug to the green port on the station listed as the receiver, you should get a transfer progress and eventually a request to disconnect.
Yeah I did grasp how to do it after a while, It was probably more so when do I end. Or how much do I do, So maybe like a goal or quota for the day. Just an idea but thanks for the response :) Keep it up!
There's a timer ticking down up top , you can unplug the shift uplink at any time after it's reached 00:00 to end the shift as a completed shift. You can also work up to 120 seconds of overtime :)
