Some of the artwork is blurry. Make sure that you have your pixel art imported with the filter mode set to point. Other than that, fun game!

Good game. I could tell you wanted a game like Papers Please, and you did it well without making it too similar

Nice I like the "idle game" style. Great work!

I liked it :), it reminded me of some old flash games, had a bunch of fun with it.

Really great concept. I like the ideas behind this a lot.

Simple but very entertaining. I really like this idea, and you've executed it very well. There's not a lot of artwork here, but what exists should have been polished just a little bit more, but it works well enough. All in all, I really enjoyed it, nice work!

Really good overall. Quite enjoyable, i lost by focusing on profit rather than quota lol

Heisenberg of the early 70's? Sounds great!

Quite a nice game. It's clearly visible that Papers, Please was your main inspiration, but you succeed making it fun and original anyways.

Cool concept, the music is awesome. When I finished an assignment I chose two upgrades (with the checkboxes) there is no way of unchecking a checkbox. Also I could add as many orders as there's items on the list even if I was out of money, the notice "not enought money" worked though.

Still enjoyable overall, thanks for your work!

The game is amazing!!!
Truly amazing, anxious sounds, tasks, story, the style, one of the best on LD#30!

Pretty good game. There are upgrades and things to unlock that make it stay interesting. The idea is pretty good, and the gameplay is decent. The music is nice, but there are no sound effects. Graphics were a bit blurry at times, but not too terrible.

I really like this one's concept. Very "Papers, Please!" in a good way!

Hi there. Interesting mundanity simulator... Kept getting stuck on lv2 after making alcohol as requested then if it is (randomly?) confiscated then you can't get money... so can't continue - just sit there waiting for timer. Not sure that's very player friendly. Nice animations and sounds.

sprawl 2014-08-30 14:09

MrExcessive : Yes. this can unfortunately happen. However, it can only happen if you dont hide the Alcohol with food. That should be better explained, but I lacked time to do so. Thanks for trying it out anyway !

Sometimes too unforgiving, I had to restart a few times while finding out how to play the game. Doesn't match the theme that well, even though it's pretty fun and slightly innovative. It would be nice if you had a reset button or an option to end early. The audio is nice, but sounds a bit too casual. Overall Rating: 3/5

sprawl 2014-08-31 12:10

Wesley Ding : You're totally right about the option to reset ! As for the theme, I don't quite agree with you. Thanks for playing.

kibertoad 2014-08-31 13:00

Well-made and has the right feeling needed of Papers Please type of game.

mrspeaker 2014-09-03 13:28

Nice work - so happy that Papers, Please is inspiring people to make crazy cool games! I agree with Wesley Ding that the music was good, but didn't quite match the aesthetic of the game. Though, you squeezed a lot in the for the time, hope you polish it up afterwards!

Amazing game! Reminds me a bit of papers please :D
