Blokia Designer is a management sim set in the year 2000. You are a junior product manager at Blokia, a mobile phone maker, and your boss Bob wants hits. Working from your trusty Fenestra 98 desktop, you design phones from scratch: build the body from stencils (keys, screens, speakers, panels and antennas), draw the wallpaper pixel by pixel, and write the ringtone note by note in a 3310-style composer.
Then you launch the phone and see what the reviewers think — teens, business people and seniors all want different things. Each turn is one quarter, so you fund research, keep an eye on your rivals, answer your e-mail and try to hit Bob's sales targets. The goal is to climb from junior product manager to CEO by 2004.
Every phone gets a seed code you can copy and share, so friends can load your design exactly as you built it. The game was made in 72 hours for Ludum Dare 60 (theme: Old Tech) and plays in the browser, on Windows, macOS and Linux.
How to Play
Work through the business in quarters. Each quarter you fund research, watch your rivals, answer e-mail and try to hit the sales targets your boss expects, while designing phones that appeal to different buyers — teens, business people and seniors. Sell enough and you move up the ladder, from junior product manager to CEO by 2004.

Tips & Tricks
Different buyers want different phones — teens, business people and seniors react differently to reviews, so spread your designs rather than repeating one.
Keep funding research and clearing the e-mail every quarter; those are the tasks that keep the company moving while you chase Bob's targets.
Share a phone's seed code with friends to have them load your design exactly as you built it.
