It's pretty difficult to understand what I'm watching in the x-rays! Items are too small, I fear :D Oh, and some keyboard controls would be awesome to react faster ;D But well done!

bob_fish 2014-04-29 00:18

Very fun, great game! Items are a bit too small though, but I think it is ok because it adds to the difficulty.

sevenkingdomssurvivors 2014-04-29 00:38

Thanks for the feedback guys! We've increased the item size by 15%. With 21 minutes to spare... :)

This game is great fun. I've actually bookmarked it to play a bit more later. Trying to frantically keep up with the luggage whilst preventing anger or a catastrophe (which is hilarious btw) is highly engaging.

Love the music! Especially the first song!

secret_tunnel 2014-04-29 01:48

Great sound!

Two casual games I've enjoyed last year were Funky Smugglers on mobile and AeroPorter on the 3DS. So it's cool to see another behind the scenes Airport game. The game works decently, but I do have trouble seeing the contraband at times, since it looks it could blend in with the interior of the bags or other items.

I had a lot of fun playing this. Very nice take on the theme :)

archaeometrician 2014-04-29 03:28

Really nice game ! Very original and not easy, I love it very much :)

the-nameless-kompany 2014-04-29 04:23

I agree with Luis, it's difficult to understand what I'm watching in the x-rays. But I like the music

microapple 2014-04-29 04:28

Very cool concept. Had a lot of fun, thanks!

phocker 2014-04-29 04:40

I was not expecting this. it was quite fun, but it was a little hard to tell some of the bad items. they were too small. high marks for humor and innovation. nice job

elefantopia 2014-04-29 04:45

Made me laugh, 1/2 of the luggage have either seringes or guns, TSA not so useless after all.

invisiblewonder 2014-04-29 05:41

I totally wished that rap track was on the whole game!

petey123567 2014-04-29 05:54

Beneath the Surface... with X-Rays! Cleverrr!

yo_milo 2014-04-29 06:01

The game is fun... But sadly, many items are way too small... I cannot tell what they are... I know that is partially the point of the game, but... there must be a balance.

teamkwakwa 2014-04-29 06:04

This is an excellent use of the theme. It also reminds me of Papers, Please, but a bit more humorous.

buriteam 2014-04-29 06:12

Awesome idea! Nice use of the theme, the only problem i had is that it is hard to understand what is inside the bags..

stephan_h 2014-04-29 06:18

The game is fun.
Would have even liked it more if the screening would take a bigger portion of the screen.
I liked the silhouette people and the screening of the luggage, but otherwise the graphics felt a bit too cold / too noisy.

curiousexpedition 2014-04-29 09:20

Nothing happens when I click on start! Using latest Chrome build. I liked the title screen music though. Hope to play it at some point. :)

mortus 2014-04-29 10:42

Great idea! Most of the times though I was losing because conveyor sometimes ignores STOP button and just goes on when you press it.

papygaragos 2014-04-29 10:51

Albeit difficult, this is a neat concept. I like the attention to details.

sevenkingdomssurvivors 2014-04-29 13:01

Hi Maschinen-Mensch, we have noticed this issue in Chrome too! If you go to a different tab in Chrome, then back to the player, it should start working again.

theengineers 2014-04-29 13:10

It was really really difficult to get what was going on at first, but it has a great premise, and I would love to see it developed.

randoman 2014-04-29 13:54

The game idea and theme are very interesting and the gameplay is quite fun. However I couldn't identify some of the objects and the faster version of the convenior belts was way to fast to see anything.

orangejuice724 2014-04-29 14:20

Quite a fun game, I like how it gets harder and harder, however, keyboard controls would be good, and a button to start the line again when you've stopped it accidentally, overall great game and very intuitive

sevenkingdomssurvivors 2014-04-29 16:08

Thanks for all the feedback! We have some ideas that we are working on to make the items a bit easier to distinguish.

The fast speed of the conveyor is to help get the line down, at the cost of missing items. We talked about a way to restart the belt when its stopped, but we feel that completely negates the penalty which is to make the line grow when you stop the belt.

Thanks again for all the feedback!

maniulo 2014-04-29 16:15

Cool game, but a list of fordbidden items would be useful.

statman 2014-04-29 17:52

It's really good idea ! it's going very fast ! very difficult to see the items.

helloworldstudios 2014-04-29 18:03

Nice concept but it would be nice if you could have more control over the speed and maybe reverse the belt.
There could be a list of banned items next to the screen to make it easier to make out what the objects are (they are very small)
But ye like the GUI and the graphics. Really good idea

sevenkingdomssurvivors 2014-04-29 18:21

Hi Maniulo and HelloWorld. There is already a list in the game. Please refer to the hint screen that pops up just before the game starts. Hope that helps.

taocayo 2014-04-29 18:30

Loved it! I like the fact the belt only has two speeds. More challenging this way. Great replayability, too. The sounds were great! My only complaint is the button to stop the belt sometimes becomes unresponsive after playing for a while. Amazing game, tho!

miwuc 2014-04-29 19:28

Very cool concept, just wish the actual x ray screen was bigger. Awesome song, well done! :D

armanky 2014-04-29 20:06

The idea's pretty great, but the "dangerous" items are nearly impossible to distinguish, especially since you only get a glimpse of what you're looking for at the beginning. Maybe have a sign listing dangerous items during the actual game so you at least know what you're looking for?

I'd also say the images still need to be bigger, I'm leaning close and squinting but I still can barely make out what's in the suitcases.

Fun game, great idea, just needs some tweaking.

sharpcoder 2014-04-29 20:09

Very nice! The items are a little hard to see but very cool idea and quite fun!

5elephants 2014-04-29 20:20

One of the most original interpretations of the theme :)

Haha loved the concept! It's a shame you couldn't implement it better. It could become a good game with a bit more work!

cricklewood 2014-04-29 20:42

Funny soundtrack. :)

phobos001 2014-04-29 21:21

Pretty hard, but I got into it and played for about a good 15 minutes. Kinda hard to see what's what inside the baggage, but I suppose that is part of the challenge. Good work to you all ^^

fatjoe 2014-04-29 23:25

Interesting take on the theme, good graphics and presentation. There was some object I kept missing and there wasn't really any way for me to figure out what that was without just testing a bunch of random stuff because of the delayed feedback.

Very nice game! Into the theme in an unexpected way, and it is fun to play! I like the graphics & the music. The only problem is the graphics in the x-rays. I don't know if the problem is the size of the objects or some flter, but it is not easy to discriminate the objectw and after 3-4 times playing my eyes got tired! Other than that, I really loved your game!

kerdelos 2014-04-30 18:02

Nearly killed my eyes looking for the contraband ^^ Nice game anyway !

snoother 2014-04-30 18:35

Love the music and concept; it has that it-should-tedious-but-isn't feel that Papers Please had. I do agree, though, that the items a tad too small to see.

aaronjbaptiste 2014-04-30 20:55

>It's really good idea ! it's going very fast ! very difficult to see the items.

Agreed, wasn't too what what to press on. Still, this is a great effort, really like the theme.

adamwfindlay 2014-04-30 20:58

Really cool theme! Had a lot of fun playing this one.

kugrou 2014-05-01 03:09

Cool idea and fun game. Though it was really tough to catch anything until I played for a while and could better recognize how the contraband looked in the scanner.

empyrealhell 2014-05-01 03:09

I had a problem with the stop button occasionally having to be clicked twice to actually stop the belt. Other than that it was a pretty fun game. There was something that looked like a line that would show up in bags some times that was hard to tell apart from the needle.

jplynk 2014-05-02 02:42

That was pretty fun! My biggest wish would be keyboard controls, but otherwise the gameplay felt pretty solid, and it was nice to see the game get more difficult without radically changing the core mechanic.

skunkaroony 2014-05-03 14:58

The items were sometimes a bit hard to see, but overall this was a really fun game. Great work! :)

perfect-victim 2014-05-05 06:29

fun game,great way to use the theme

logun 2014-05-05 19:10

Nice and clean, but very difficult !
I would have maybe different speed for the machine, like 3 or 4, starting from very slow. There is 2 and both very fast :)

mokujinzergman 2014-05-11 15:00

The music is Legend...ary !

The controls are not as responding as i wish, it's good enough.
The items in the bag are small, but I've recognize:
* Xbox controller
* the hat of an old TV-show (Chapeau melon in french)
* earpiece for Walkman (bad English sorry)
* Hair drier
* USB charger

It's really fun to play it.
The difficulty is well balance.

Very fine job !

udo 2014-05-12 16:51

I had way to much fun playing this! I feel like I might have been a better A.S.S. if there had been keyboard shortcuts... well done, guys!

woodenrabbit 2014-05-16 04:15

I'm not even going to so say much. Just good stuff good stuff.

commanderj 2014-05-17 20:51

I do think the items are a bit too small, but the game is fast-paced and enjoyable.
