A typing game where you need to use the numpad of a flip phone!

To play type out "play" on your keyboard using numbers - so "7-555-2-999"

Here's a chart of the keys (if it's hard to see them in game):

  1. ~
  2. abc
  3. def
  4. ghi
  5. jkl
  6. mno
  7. pqrs
  8. tuv
  9. wxyz

This is a small game that was made in a few days for the Brainless Mini-Game Jam. I went into the jam wanting to make a typing game (I've been wanting to for a while). And when I saw the theme was "Simpler Times" I decided it'd be fun to make a game where you had to type using a flip phone interface.

I figured it fit the theme since it's from an older time period and you have to type with only 9 keys, so it's simpler than with a full alphabet...

I was quite busy with work starting up again, New Years resolutions and visiting family this weekend, but I still managed to find a bit of time for it. And I'm really happy with how it turned out!

...although please ignore my terrible text speak

Felt like a cry for help midway through, glad it worked out at the end. Needs a combo system, I tried to get through without failing but an honour system won't stop me from spamming keys. Maybe messing up a load get's you dumped or something idk

the graphics, sound effects and UI are great. really nice take on the mechanic, i didnt know how to start the game but i used my number pad to type 'play' and the conversation began. punching in the numbers feels calculated and also disorienting which really suits the vibe of the storyline, its actually a cool experience. number-texting on phone is just as confusing as i remember but you do start to get the hang of it. i could imagine some roguelike elements to randomise things or make things easier, or rewarding the player with auto-predict text if they hit a clean combo or something. but its a really awesome game for such a short jam and has a lot of potential
