Fun and frantic. This game quickly crushed my dreams of being on top of sorting the mail. I thought that it was well put together, the stream of letters ramping up was very fun. The music wes also well done and fi perfectly with the sorting. A very well-executed concept, well done!

It's really addicting. Though, I couldn't make it to 3 stars. Got to 56 points. It definitely feels a bit RNG with the stampless mail. Still, I liked the simplicity and addictiveness of it!! Really fun.
Loved this entry!!! Music worked so well, the letters were hectic enough, was a simple concept well polished.... but I never got any stars ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

Nice and clean, I like it! Reminds me of Papers Please. I really loved all the letters flooding in at the end, for a moment I thought I had to get all of them :O
The scoring seems really tough though, I felt like I was getting through a lot of letters but I still got one star. Maybe I'm just bad though!

Fun game! Got 2 stars with a score of 55 on my second try. I like the Return to Sender mechanic. Like a another commenter mentioned, it reminds me of Papers Please in a fun way.

I like how fast this plays! It does get a bit overwhelming so I started to stamp letters in batches then sort them afterwards, which made it a bit easier. It's fun!
Really well-polished game. I liked how original the gameplay was. Took me a while to get the hang of it, but was pretty fun despite being fairly simple. My favorite part was the giant flood of letters at the end :P
Absolute banger of an entry! Plays VERY well, is very fun, has a high skill ceiling, has amazing mood and is certainly extremely polished. AMAZING job!

A bit fast, but else a fun little game. I liked it. Well done.
I really liked the game, any thoughts on how to accomodate for color blind settings? more of a thought. Great work!

Really simple but polished game. UI work was great.
This game was really fun to play. I enjoyed the music and it fit perfectly with the frantic feeling of the game. Well done!

Straightforward, but well-made game. It was extremely frantic, the first round expertly lures you into a false sense of security. I could take or leave the stamping aspect, but it certainly compounds the crazy energy.
Simple but polished. This could be a full mobile game already. My one recommendation is to make the success and failure sounds more distinct - especially with the music playing, it can be hard to discern them.

Nice polished little game, good job!
As others have said this was a very well polished game so good job! Seems to me to be a stripped-down take on 'Papers Please' gameplay. Take everything I say with a grain of salt. I am personally not a huge fan of real time games. They stress me out too much. I felt like the letters arrived way too fast. I personally also am not a fan of the gameplay. I found it a bit monotonous. What kept me hooked when playing 'Papers Please' was the story, roleplaying, keeping your family fed and clothed between days, etc... But I realize this is a game jam entry!
