Those sound effects got me :D Great idea, funny and chill to play. Would have liked some feedback to know when I was "harming" the paper, didn't realize that was happening until I game-overed. Great entry!

Why is this so addicting? :D

The game has a super chill vibe. Loved the soundtrack and the sounds the anti-stapler makes are hilarious.

Also, the red guidelines towards the staples are a great little piece of design. Without them, it would probably be a little frustrating to spot the staples, but with them everything just flows.

Thanks for the chill therapy session. Its oddly pleasing & make me smile playing this game, maybe its the mundane task combined with chill music & hilarious sfx :D

Great entry, very creative & original, good job!

I enjoyed my time spent with this game, it is pretty simple, but there is something relaxing about it. I really liked the sound of anti stapler and generally I think it is quite a spin on the idea, most games I saw until now were about joining something together not unjoining it. Good job!

A lovely little game with a humor that's right up my alley.

What an original idea. Nice ^^

There's something about removing staplers from papers that is just relaxing. really interesting concept. I'd like to see more wacky papers or like a fun, silly story that is shown over multiple papers. 

So cool! I watched it on stream and then played it, and it is really fun. Love the paper's texts and the music is so funky! Amazing entry :D

thanks for submitting to the form!

THE GOOD (what i liked, and what stood out for me):

A very unique idea, with a fun setup! It reminded me of papers please, and the musics fits the new yorky, business-y theme of the game! I found the sound effects hilarious, and kept me de-stapling for around 10 minutes, which is something! finished 125 staples and worked overtime XD

THE BAD (what i disliked, the bugs, and other problems):

I think adding a timer for each paper, so that the player is encouraged to work quicker (and therefore make more mistakes) would definitely make the game more challenging and fun! Perhaps adding some better assets for the paper itself, like something that looks like a newspaper may have been nice.

THE HARSH (stuff that would just make the game better, usually just personal opinion, don't take it too heavily :D ):

Having multiple tools and jobs to do for each paper. For example having a paper where not only do you have to remove the staple, but you also have to black out names and add sticky notes with text!

OVERALL: 4,4,3 awesome game!

This was suprisingly addicting! OMNOMNOMNOM! Good times :D

Hi Robo and Adam!

Our sound engineer is also named Adam! That's fun.

This game is really entertaining. The music and the anti-stapler sound effects are funny and make for interesting audio. I love how simple the concept is, and I love the idea of turning mundane tasks into games!

It needs a timing mechanic! I love how missing the staples hurts the paper, but there is no incentive (besides my own intrinsic motivation) to move quickly through each new piece. Adding a timer will make it more likely for the player to slip up and create a challenge.

Excellent work, and a very fun game!

Best,

I am definitely going to refer to that tool as an "anti-stapler" in normal life now.

Satisfying and smooth little game. I'd love to see some sort of extra motivator to remove the staples fast / well, e.g. a time limit, or maybe more and more papers keep coming in so they pile up if you don't keep on top of them

(p.s. I literally laughed out loud when the anti-stapler made that om-nom-nom sound when I removed my first staple, loved it)

This game is a meme and I love it. 10/10 which is impressive on a 5 star scale.

I like those interesting sound effects and the chill BGM.
