We really loosely followed the theme, but we know the connection is spurious at best.  We figured "giving people access to the country".

Thanks for playing!

As the member of our team that did the majority of the balancing and music, it's great to hear that it was stressful - it's what we were aiming for.  We were heavily inspired by Papers Please, mostly because we've done jams before and quick game design is really our weak point.  Thanks for playing!

We will agree with you, we do think it was maybe a little too close to our source of inspiration, but we're fairly content to let it slide since this we wanted to avoid designing new mechanics as much as possible.

Thanks for playing!

Thanks for playing!  Papers Please was the inspiration for our project, so we're glad to hear that we've captured that quite well

Cheers for playing!  I'll pass your regards onto our artist, I think he did a really good job on it all

We tried our best to make it difficult, but not too hard.  Turns out that was harder than we thought, so there's always the difficulty slider in the options menu.  Thanks for playing!

Thanks for playing!  We realised that the date this is a bit off-putting during our extended playtest, but that was after the deadline.  If there's further development, we might point that out in an interactive tutorial

Cheers!  We drew a lot of inspiration from Papers Please, so we're happy to hear that it feels similar.  I did want to add an evaluation, maybe a list of the people you evaluated wrongly at the end, but I ran out of time given I was doing programming, and music, and some extra little bits like the box art .

Regardless, thanks for playing!

The passport scanner was a last minute inclusion, being honest.  We noticed we could get a cool effect with the Layer Mask tool in Unity so we thought "why not?"  We will admit, however, that the security seals are quite hard to pick apart.  Thanks for playing!

Thanks!  It was a lot of fun trying to emulate Papers Please without making it a blatant copy.  The images were meant to change a little bit, but we had to remove that because we didn't have enough variety in the sprites.  Cheers for playing!

Thanks for the feedback!  The mobile port was something of a last minute decision, so it's a little bit shaky, but we like how it came out.  We'll be sure to check out and rate your game too

Thanks!  We had a lot of fun making it, and we're glad to hear that it creates the level of tension we were going for.  We don't know if we'll continue work on it, but we might push a few more updates after the jam is done.  Thanks for playing!

Thanks for playing!  We'll be sure to check and rate your game

We think we maybe made the game a bit hard by default in retrospect, but thanks for sticking with it and playing anyway!

Thanks!  We've all spent a fair bit of time in Manchester Airport over the years, so we figured it was the perfect setting since we know roughly what they check for.  Thanks for playing!

We based it as much as possible on our own experiences with Manchester Airport, which is a lot of delays in security.  Thanks for playing!

We might have to dispute that Manchester is in the North.  It's more of a little Microchosm of hell, having lived there long enough, but that's beside the point.  Thanks for playing!
