It's quite enjoyable, and I didn't really have any issue meeting quota.

I would like for there to be more feedback when folding, since right now it's just click a green circle and drag to a red circle. Just something to indicate I'm doing something, like the cursor changing.

This game is very relaxing, so when i didn't make enough money and ended up starving on the street, that was an unexpectedly dark turn XD
It's a nice idea, id like to see more variation in the figures if you ever update it. I also think the notes could be a good vehicle for a cute story

Developer

Thanks for playing :)

The game just crashes what. And this is going wayy too fast for me. Also when I try giving a secret origami the customer next to them takes it so thats really annoying.

Other than that cool concept and gameplay!

I think the game crashes when you have too many orders on screen, which is really annoying cuz thats gonna happen a lot im slow ok ):

Developer

Thanks so much for the feedback—the crashing shouldn't happen anymore, and the game should be more balanced now!

It's an interesting concept, reminds me of "Paper, Please".

Now it's kinda buggy, so I can't even finish the 1st level, but you can release a new patched version, I guess, and I'll give it a try.

PS In general, I think you should let the player in on secrets slowly. Not just "Now I make little origami and after 1 minute I lose with a message "YOU FAIL YOUR MISSION, SOLDIER"". That just doesn't work. I suggest you research how "Papers, Please" slowly gives away secrets.

Thanks for the feedback! It went a long way in improving the game! :)

Hey everyone. If the game is confusing to play, here is a quick demo/ walkthrough video to show how the game works. Thanks for taking the time to play!

WALKTHROUGH

It's a cool little game with a cool concept. But it's very buggy and visually unpleasant to the eye. After I give out one order, no more paper appears, so I just softlock myself. I also can't go back to the menu, which makes no sense with the actual game, the song also only plays on the menu.

A good concept, but you could probably polish it.

Developer

Hmm. That's interesting. Are you pressing the faded bird icon on the right? Clicking it spawns more paper.

Developer

Also, reloading the page should take you back to the main menu after the tutorial is finished. My bad for that. In the actual levels, you will be given an option to return to the main menu once the level is finished

Oh, okay then, it could be a bit more obvious.

Developer

Yeah, sorry about that!
