Ištēn: "First"
You are a scribe - an acolyte of the First Information Age. Writing, the most important of ancient technologies, is new to your region, and even to your city. Will you help propel your fellows to greatness through your remarkable accounting prowess, or will you doom your kingdom to low profit margins and economic stagnation?

After a couple attempts I was able to beat the game. Learning to differentiate left and right marks was important for me being able to bring glory to the kingdom/empire.
Built up some tensions as I got to level 4-6, not wanting to fail and start over (but with a couple rounds of practice one can move through tablets quickly, so no big loss of time, I don't think there is a time element involved). The game was not frustrating. It is satisfying to see ones skill improve attempt after attempt; to succeed where one once failed.
I had fun. Thanks for making and sharing your game!
Neat! Very simple, accessible and fun.
It looks easy, plays easy but when you actually play it you get intrigue on the so many simple tricks your mind plays on you.
If you decide to work further on it I would suggest no doing more than 5 five levels without "checkpoint".
Had fun being a loyal scribe ;)
