- I would have liked to have something during the picking up phase that shows which stamps I'm looking for. Sometimes I forgot.
- Sometimes it felt like the required stamps were just not there, but maybe I just didn't search properly? It would have been nice to know how many envelopes are still present in the level.
- I enjoyed the concept of finding stuff with the audio/visual cues, rather than through sight. Feels like there's even more interesting things that can be done with that. E.g. perhaps different cues for different envelope types or something, etc.
In my mind it would have fitted really nice into a point and click adventure as one of the game mechanic for a puzzle. Mabye this is just because of the artstyle, which reminds me a lot of older kind of these games (Sam and Max and stuff like that).
Also the soundtrack is solid and everything feels coherent. Nice job ^^
I also made a stamp-based game so it's fun to try how other people could think of it haha
Overall I liked the graphics and the audio queue.
@torte478 There are in total 6 levels (+ tutorial)
@surfa @bobap @ghettobastler I agree with your feedback. The game ,as it is now, is a somewhat too hard. Some powerups or helper tools hidden in the bin would have been maybe the easiest solution. I'll note your feedback down in case I decide to do some post-jam devving. Thanks!
Simple and effective game, good job!

The mechanics feel fresh and fun.
The game itself is simple, but the level objectives are a bit confusing (the same icons and colors were hard for me to read), so I had to collect all the envelopes in the level.
Overall, it's a lot of fun to navigate blindly!

I don't steal cards from anyone, but I have to say this game turned out really well!
Congratulations!
