This is very much like Papers Please in presentation, the menu music is very clearly meant to sound like the Arstotzkan anthem, and the whole "Glory to Zabovia" is a reworked "Glory to Arstotzka".

I think the inspiration is a little on the nose, but still enjoyable. After rating the first two divers it would have been nice to be able to skip them on subsequent runs. The parallax effect on the clouds and such is a little strong and off-putting, but overall the neat presentation as well as unique take on this theme make this a solid entry.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! We didn't add in a skip because we didn't expect people to play the game again (which is an oversight on our part due to the game having multiple endings : P).
The parallax was hard to get right so I see what you mean. As for the Papers Please stuff.... yeah : P

So what they say is true: Cheaters never win... for even when they don't cheat, their country will be invaded.

I like this, had fun going through the game a few times to see what different results would get me.

Developer

It's true. Sometimes the only way to wave off invasion is a good ol dash of cheating.
Glad you enjoyed the game!

What a funny game, left me wanting to see more but that usually means you did well! Great job! Got 2 endings idk if you added more.

Developer

I think we had 8 in total, but one only shows up if there's an Error. That one shouldn't pop up, but if it does, let us know xD

Short and sweet, really cool concept and while short it was well executed. Would love to see this expanded in a way where you're able to blend in if you score just right, see how far you can take your corrupt career.

Developer

We originally hoped to do more, but quickly realized we couldn't. Some ideas we had included potentially judging other games or getting more and more criteria ala papers please (Rate these guys low, these guys high, look out specific trips/flips). Glad you still enjoyed the bite sized comedy version!

I kept replaying to try and do Zabovia proud but then I realized I was screwed either way haha! Great work.

Developer(+1)

Sorry xD
Glad you still enjoyed

Submitted(+1)

Just the fact you're a judge is interesting enough, but the execution of it was flawless imo, especially as the gameplay loop, although simple, leaves enough room for a moral dilemma to the player, and I really like that. Imagine if the game could be expanded... even use real cases of corruption in official competitions as the basis for a more lenghty game, it would be interesting, imo. Congrats

Developer(+1)

Thanks! We had ideas for more mechanics regarding managing corruption (with bribes and such) but kept it simple for the end joke and to fit the 48 hours.

Submitted(+1)

Very funny! I honestly had no idea where it was going. Good job!!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed the game!

Hilarious game, well done!

Developer

Thank you :D

I voted 10 at guy breaking his neck and I was sent to jail. 10/10 would play again :D nice animations!

Developer(+1)

We agree! Breaking one's neck is a once in a lifetime trick, a score of 10 is well deserved!

i was sure that there is a right rating for my diver and tried everything, but then i read the comments :D

so short, i would love to play more :) and it would be great to have a bit more story in the game! the endings are hilarious though.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed the endings! It's made their writer very happy to hear people found them funny

Submitted(+1)

I loved the endings, I laughed a lot!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed!

Interesting idea. I wasn't too sure how it fits with the theme, though.

Oh, the cut scenes were awesome! It reminded me of one of Mario games for some reason. haha

Developer(+1)

We tried to fit the theme by having you judge games rather than be the athletes at games. Like if Sonic and Mario were judges at the Olympics instead of contestants.

And then we went full on Papers Please Parody xD

Submitted

Ahh I see I see. Still, it was pretty nice!

Submitted(+1)

Amazing, i love the concept and would like to see it expand honestly haha great take on the theme.

Submitted(+1)

I tried every combination but couldn't win

Developer

Yeah sorry there's no way to win. It's a small parody game with different ways to loose. Hope you still enjoyed : D

Submitted(+1)

Yeah the game was funny and nailed the papers please feeling. It's just that I thought I should find some magic number that satisfies both parties but apparently not. Still good game

Submitted(+1)

Original Entry, Very Nice :)

Submitted(+1)

Original idea! Well presented, good job

Submitted(+1)

Very funny, if a little short. The endings were funny as well.

Developer

Thanks! : D

I loved the feeling when the spotlight turned on and the counter was still at the last rating I had given. I figured….6? Very funny
