The controls are a bit clumsy it could be a bit frustrating to not manage to do what I want.
Got a blast when I discovered there were also stamps on the **other face** of the letters ^^
The rules are a bit overwhelming, I wonder if you could start with only one or two stamp types, and then gradually add more, to ease the player into the game.
Also.... Did I ship my cup? Of course I did!!
Haha, what a fun little game. The jingle and sounds were also very fun! Great game!!
But to be fair for me personally game is hard. Maybe there should be more time at the beginning? Cause from all of those calculations on how many stamps each letter needs is a bit exhausting and more time would allow for better grasp of game notion.
But despite that game is awesome!
Genius! Great concept. I have to be honest, I hated the music with all my heart, but you have a mute option, so its forgivable, and the gameplay is really cool. I can see this polished into a really interesting game!
Very good Jam !
I'd agree with the other comments that the time pressure is quite unforgiving, especially at the start of the game when you're learning how the mechanics work. But there's quite a lot of depth here, it's an interesting premise.
Nice game, the stamps instruction was not rellay clear but it's part of the fun.
Look like we know why postal service lost some letter now.
Unfortunately my first impression was ruined when I had to restart twice, because all of the sudden I just wasn't able to pick up a letter and the timer would run out :c
Having a bit more in-game instructions would also be nice, e.g. addition of a couple of tutorial letters where the action sequence would be explained (weight > check marks > rotate letter to see the other side etc.) Otherwise it's a bit unclear on where to even start
I once turned a letter by accident, but it took me quite a while to reproduce this trick.
The stamps seem to be a different color in the explanation than in the actual game. I would have liked to see a score when I was game over.
I like the scales and that the other objects also had a mass :smile:
I like the tune, although it's a bit short.
Great job overall though! We also did a papers-please-like game so it's really cool to see other team's take on the genre and some pretty creative solutions to the problems we were running into :)
