Very minimalist presentation right now but the mechanics here are absolutely awesome. If you managed to work on this further and match the vibe of Papers Please, this could be an amazing game.

Very neat reversal of a classic. Great work, especially for your first jam! It's not easy to make a game under these constraints.

Great game, this is super unique! It took me a little while to figure out the objective but once I did, I had a lot of fun with it. I was impressed by the score calculation, I'm curious how you did that!

Thanks for the feedback!

The score calculation system is mainly a combination of Pythagoras' theorem to measure the pixel distance between each symbol on the passport, and where it should ideally be, taken away from the max possible score and clamped above 0. There's also an initial bonus for the correct passport cover.
