I liked the task, moving stamps between letters, with the feeling of being overwhelmed by work. 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 ^^

Download link is not working ?
Unfortunately I don't have a mouse (only trackpad) so I couldn't fully enjoy this game, but it's pretty neat! The table objects that you can throw off and just respawn is pretty funny, it's like they are coming back to spite you :laughing: 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.
Do I love stamps? Of course I do!! 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!!

@revetoon That's unfortunate. It works properly on our side, but I have also experienced similar problems with some other games, so it might just be that the site is a bit overloaded at the moment. Alternatively, you can play it in the browser at the top of the page.

Very cool game and idea behind a theme delivery! It feels really polished, graphics look incredible, sound design is cheering and fits the atmosphere. All those interactions with the table are quite unique and hilarious :smile:. And the idea behind the game is astonishing - I would never come up with such original idea!
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!

Do I feel an inspiration on Papers Please Here?
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 cute and I like the idea – I think everything's a bit dark and I feel a bit clumsy but I like it otherwise!

Very polished and nice to play with items. TBH I didn't understood the stamps mechanic. Maybe to have a progressive experience for the player could help to know what actions to do. Very good Jam !

Very nice graphical elements. Oh boy the stamps calculating... it's like math..? :) Cool game mechanics and a well put together game. Nice submission!

Fun game top play with. The stamp instructions a little confusing at first. But i get that, it was meant to be tricky ;)

I like the clumpsy controls. Nice game! Of course I shipped all the stuff on the table, too :D - Music and graphics fit well together. But I was pretty bad summarizing the value of the stamps.

I don't know how I feel about infinite cups.... :laughing:
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.

I really liked the idea, the controls are simple and they help the game feel pretty well. Congrats!

Hellow ! 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.
Interesting game once I figured it out, the instructions were a bit unclear.

As others said, I feel like having less stamps types at the start to ease the player in would be preferred, it's a bit overwhelming. I also feel like removing the box covers would improve playability, having the letters stuck above it because it didn't open soon enough can be frustrating. Otherwise, it's well put together, graphics are nice apart from some Z-fighting, and concept is smart. Well done!

I really liked the music and the art style. Also how scales are running the numbers up, looks very nice 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

Love this idea, mainly because I went for something similar. I ended up a bit confused with how it works and time pressured as a result, so the most valuable thing I gained from this is understanding how players of my game probably felt. I think i struggled with the controls more than the ruleset.
It was a neat little idea, but I could not figure out how to remove stamps to place on other letters. I also saw stamps on the other side of a letter, but couldn't figure out the flip.
I don't have enough IQ to play this game well, quite fun anyways

Nice idea, but the controls felt a bit clunky. It was hard to get the letters where I wanted them, but maybe that was because it is embedded. The download link doesn't work for me. 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.

You should deffinitely indicate that there are timbers on the back of letters but overall nice atmosphere !
Neat game but very confusing, the controls also are a bit unresponsive. I was really impressed with the concept though and it could be super interesting when refined. Also the graphics impressed me, it all hung together really nicely.
I appreciate the developer's ability to create visually striking moments within the game, where even the simplest graphical elements leave a lasting impression

I like the concept of having to take postage off other some letters in order to send others! I found it a bit difficult to put some of the large letters into the blue/red bins -- they kept getting stuck and didn't always respawn. Also, I felt like having two different styles of moving items around ("click to pick up/drop" for letters and "click and hold" to move stamps) didn't lend itself to being intuitive.
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 :)

It's a very interesting game. I've never used letters before, so it's very novel for me. It's very interesting, but at first I didn't know what to do, but I still really liked your game design. The whole game was very smooth and interesting
