Loved it! Great concept elevated by witty writing, charming art, and catchy music.
This is an awesome submission! The music, the art, the papers please inspiration, I couldn't see Smendes finally get allowed to the underworld tho, he always missed some requirement haha. Great job man!
I can see the papers please inspo in there. Love the style and the execution. Enjoyed the game a lot, good job!
Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it and that the paper please vibes came across!
Ok the idea behind this game is super, and the same goes for the music and the pixel art. I love the concept of turning old myths into games like this. Wll done!
Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it and liked the music and art!
Reminds me a ton of Papers Please. It's a good, relaxing little game.
Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Fun game. Beautiful pixel art. Good job!
Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great game! We even managed to find one small bug together, but it doesn't affect the gameplay at all if you don't know how to trigger it. I can definitely recommend it, and warm regards!
Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm glad we were able to work out what caused the bug together. It was something I don't think I would ever have found while testing haha
Good pixel art, like to see some egyptian pixel art style ! Looking very good!
Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The timer was perhaps a bit unforgiving, but otherwise it was really enjoyable!
Mr.MANO approves <3
Thank you for the feedback! The timer was definitely a hard thing for me to judge since I'd memorised so much of the game haha. I'm glad Mr Mano (the legend himself) approves :)
Nice project, also the style pretty good! keep goind.
Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Love the game ! it was really fun, keep up the good work :)
Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I never thought that being a bureaucrat was so fun...
Heart, please.
And that guy went around in circles to end up in hell XDXDXD I like how fun the certificates are.
The graphics are good, as is the music, I liked the game.
The only thing I had trouble with was that the cursor is very big and I didn't know where to click, it covered too much area.
Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I'm doubly happy you liked Smendes! I've had a couple of people mention that about the cursor. Definitely something that I'll be mindful of in future since it's not super clear that its the round end and not the pointy end that is the cursor point.
I love this take on the theme. I would have liked to see the scales react properly, instead of just showing a color indicator. Other than that, great job!
Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I just realised that it somehow never occurred to me to make the scales move haha. The indicator was there from the earliest draft when it wouldn't even have been that hard for me to make a moving scale
I love the theme of the game + the art and aesthetics . Well done !
Best of luck !
Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
It is really funny to me that both of us saw the theme and independently went "yep, weighing of the heart time"
I had a ton of fun with this one! The Papers Please inspiration is pretty on the nose, but the Egyptian mythological flavor along with all the little touches of personality were very memorable. I particularly enjoyed the crimes and virtues - and I also wanna give you 5's in everything for "auto-ma'at-ic"!
This was a super fun game! Out of all of the scale (weight) related games I've played, it might be my favourite because I'm partial to the egyptian theming. I love all the mythological flavor within it! Congrats for completing the jam!
Thank you for the feedback! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! If you liked this one, there are I think 6 or 7 other Egypt themed scale games this jam that I think you'll enjoy too.

Really enjoyed the art in this game! Great style!
Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Fun game and kept the stress piling, manually putting weighs was fun idea and checking documents lead to situation where I didn't even weigh the heart, just tossed it to shredder. Lost it when hammer came to picture, great job all in all :D
Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I'm happy you liked the hammer bit haha!
Absolute joy to play. Super fun, very addicting and packed to the brim with charm. Laughed several times at the dialogue. Was an honor to contribute to the game in a small way!
No sympathy for Smendes tho, he got what he deserved :)
