Error The following features required to run Godot projects on the Web are missing: Cross Origin Isolation - Check web server configuration (send correct headers) SharedArrayBuffer - Check web server configuration (send correct headers)

Cool pixel art, especially the x-ray machine. And as someone who works at a post office, I related to the customer interaction part haha. Got the same error as @alex-chertilin on the Ludum dare website but on itch it's fine.

I really liked the x-ray scanner. And the customer interactions when you screwed up were a blast. I played it again and messed up intentionally every time just to see more of them!

As far as suggestions, I would have preferred to see the name without having to click on the item. As it was I felt like it slowed things down a lot and made me focus too much on the controls and clicking in the right place vs focusing on the sorting. Nice game though, I enjoyed it!

Hey folks! That error is due to LDJam.com not supporting Shared Array Buffer for embedded games, which is a requirement for Godot 4 games! Itch.io DOES support SAB though, so if you want to play in browser you'd have to head there. Thanks for the kind words!

@onedozenbagels We appreciate the feedback! I agree, it would have definately made it more convenient for the player. I guess we were trying to add more engagement. In my mind, a real person would have to look for the name and it wouldn't be immediately visible. This was also our first game!

Nice game. I wasn't expecting the customers to be so dark. Not sure if this was intentional but it seemed that the second line of customer text wasn't printing out. I could figure what they said but since I enjoyed the dialog I'd have liked to see what they said.

Ran into the same issues as Embedder72 with the Nigerian Prince scam customer, and the text not displaying correctly. I liked this. Overall, it was a bit unclear to me on "How" (first name? Last name) I was supposed to sort stuff, even after reading the tutorial.

I loved the first part of the game, the mail sorting was fun and reminded me of 'papers, please' in a way :D the customer support part I really liked the *idea* of, but the second line of the dialogue was always the same as the first, though the responses changed - so it made it a bit hard to understand what I'm deciding on. Definitely a fun concept, would love to see it as a full-fledged game!
