Like playing a crane machine that isn't a scam. Quite enjoyed this one, good work on it.
My mom used to tell me: “If you don’t quit those computer games, you’ll end up rummaging through trash...” Turns out she was right. 10 dumpsters out of 10.
Very neat concept and surprisingly tense with the timer. French horn solo is a bop
Omg that is such a good idea I love it !
The gameplay is literally at your fingertips. Oh my god! 10/10!
Actually quite a novel concept, and pretty enjoyable gameplay. Some nitpicks: - I would have liked to have something during the picking up phase that shows which stamps I'm looking for. Sometimes I forgot. - Sometimes it felt like the required stamps were just not there, but maybe I just didn't search properly? It would have been nice to know how many envelopes are still present in the level. - I enjoyed the concept of finding stuff with the audio/visual cues, rather than through sight. Feels like there's even more interesting things that can be done with that. E.g. perhaps different cues for different envelope types or something, etc.
@jaco-van-hemert thanks for the feedback! I had similar ideas but as I had to work on monday, they never saw the light of the day :/
Absolutely love the game idea and matches the theme quite well :) Easy to play and also, the sound design is on point!
We are simply the saviors of these stamps, hahaha. What a very interesting game!
The game idear is pretty neat and i like the ease of learning how the game works. In my mind it would have fitted really nice into a point and click adventure as one of the game mechanic for a puzzle. Mabye this is just because of the artstyle, which reminds me a lot of older kind of these games (Sam and Max and stuff like that). Also the soundtrack is solid and everything feels coherent. Nice job ^^
Loved the sound effects! Also, a pretty cool idea :D
Super cute game! The sound fx were on point :) I also made a stamp-based game so it's fun to try how other people could think of it haha
Interesting mechanics, I liked it, for some reason I really waited for someone to bite the hand)
Thank you @haogege @lehmy @beguilint @pimeko @borodaolen for your kind words and playing the game! Plus, it was not so long ago I played sam&max again for nostalgic reasons ;)
The interface is very simple, clear and easy to understand. I really like this idea!
Hilarious game. I'm amazed by how it manages to convey tactile sensations through the screen! Does this game have an ending?
The amount of times I would memorize the stamps and then instantly forgot the colours as soon as I got to the dumpster diving scene was a little too high for my liking. Having a way to see the stamps I was looking for after the scene started would have been nice. It wouldn't need to stop the timer.
Overall I liked the graphics and the audio queue.
The game's concept is interesting, but unfortunately there are a lot of lags.
Very cool! A lot of fun to play
I love the searching concept. Would be nice to have like a shadow indicator to see where your hand is in the pile since I got lost a few times.
I agree with other comments about having an indicator for which stamps you have to collect during the level, and an indicator of where your hand is. But with that being said the concept is interesting, and very well implemented: the graphics, sfx and music create a "silly" atmosphere that fits the theme very well. Nice!
I like the use of stamp theme
@ciphereo @tiwe-me-ruu @ira-baciu Thank you for taking the time to try the game! Much appreciated!
@torte478 There are in total 6 levels (+ tutorial)
@surfa @bobap @ghettobastler I agree with your feedback. The game ,as it is now, is a somewhat too hard. Some powerups or helper tools hidden in the bin would have been maybe the easiest solution. I'll note your feedback down in case I decide to do some post-jam devving. Thanks!
It was a game I enjoyed.
Honestly didn't expect this to be this fun haha! Very pleasantly by this entry. Great work!
Very creative and fun) Great job!
I finished it! Loved the audio cues. Perhaps it's just me but it felt like I completed more than six levels?
Simple and effective game, good job!
@coderaurus Great! I'm happy to know that the last two levels are beatable as I didn't have time to test. Excluding the tutorial level, there should be six levels in total.
Very creative take on the theme. Feeling around the dumpster felt surprisingly satisfying. The audio was very simple but perfect for what it needs to be. The only complaint I have is starting from the first level when you fail a level, but as short a game as it is, I can't really complain _too_ much :) .
I'm very sorry! It seems I ran into a problem and can't play in full screen, and the content is on the left side. Has anyone else experienced the same situation?

@yibirabbit007 Interesting glitch...did you by chance play with 4K resolution? I've tested the game only with FullHD (1920x1080) in browser without full screen.
What a fun game! It's a perfect bit-size game for a gamejam like this. The graphics, music and soundeffects fit together very well and the gameplay is simple but effective
A very enjoyable little game!
The mechanics feel fresh and fun.
The game itself is simple, but the level objectives are a bit confusing (the same icons and colors were hard for me to read), so I had to collect all the envelopes in the level.
Overall, it's a lot of fun to navigate blindly!

What a fantastic idea. Very original!
I don't steal cards from anyone, but I have to say this game turned out really well!
Congratulations!

I played another game this ludum dare where you had to collect post stamps. The idea so funny :D I like it. Also the sound when a letter was found. Great entry.
Congratz on the great results, a sub 50 for innovation is impressive. Especially for your first entry! 🥳
Thanks @wouter52 ! the results took me by surprise really :]
