I wouldn't really call it "fun", but it feels realistically horrific in simulating office tedium. :)

I love games like Papers, Please and this is in a similar vein to that. An interesting concept, and I liked the humorous names and all of the Star Wars/Star Trek references.

Nice game, well done.

Brutal. It's like a typing game mixed with an online form. I didn't have much time to look at anything but the planet names, but a couple of the recipients I saw were funny.

PS. I found a Dune reference in there that caused my metaphorical erection to grow three sizes this day, so thanks for that.

Interesting idea. More simulation than game :P. Loved the names. I disliked that when new letters arrive you just loose whathever input you already have.

Nice. Well, this probably simulates what it's like to work in a post office in outer space.

It's the most I've ever typed the word "Uranus."

There are some typos here, but a fine concept nonetheless. Feels very oppressing :)

The concept is interesting, nice entry!

Interesting, and executed well. Not that fun, but it's simulating something not that fun. The names were very cute and clever. A pleasing look to it, also. Nice work.

Really interesting and intense, could have been even more complex by adding another parameter to manage. Good entry anyway !

No. You are a loser! ;)
nice concept and cool sci fi references.

starshiptrooper0589 2016-12-14 22:18

"You are a loser!" screen is a bug (lose.html not Lose.html) that the web-host cached. It should be cleared up in a few minutes.

(Screen was used for testing and was not meant to be visible to users)

I like it. It's hard but I like it. Graphically it's boring, dull and prefect for the setting. The lack of sound bugs me, but too much would have been a bad thing here. A nice bit of humor too, with the various sci-fi references. Not everyone's cup of tea, but a nice entry none the less.

Lovely. Got me worse anxiety than Papers, Please or my real job, and that's something ;) I also enjoyed the physically correct die throw. So yeah, I had way too much fun xD

cory-leach 2016-12-17 03:26

Pretty innovative? I think it could be more fun if it was presented differently than typing in numbers haha. But I think the dice rolling animation is a nice touch!

Interesting concept. Once you get behind, I felt it was almost impossible to come back: I got around 9 letter on each roll even though I haven't made any mistake yet. I felt really overwhelmed. I tried the hard mode, and it felt more like a typing/memory exam.

Once I ran out of ''checkout time'', the game just stoped and I got an error message.

starshiptrooper0589 2016-12-17 04:44

Bobsleigh's issue was fixed. Once again it was looking for "Lose.html" when it should be "lose.html"

Well.. it seems that I can't handle mail. haha
Cool concept!
