It's 2000. You're 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.

Write the ringtone note by note in a 3310-style composer.

Customize it to look however you like.

Then launch your phone and see what the reviewers think. Teens, business people and seniors all want different things.

Each turn is one quarter. Fund research, keep an eye on your rivals, answer your e-mail and hit Bob's sales targets. Can you climb from junior to CEO by 2004?

Every phone gets a seed code you can copy and share, so friends can load your design.

Made in 72 hours for Ludum Dare 60 (theme: Old Tech).

I would say maybe have us choose a set font size. It's a bit hard to balance the multiple sizes since it changes with the text box and amount of letters.

In the design window underneath the 'Launch' button you can save designs into your clipboard. Here's an example of what the text says (when I was falling behind the curve and lost all motivation):
