Fun, familiar concept, and well executed. I loved the unfolding plot throughout the letters, well done! I did feel a few times I was really close on my signature and it failed me anyway, so I'm not exactly sure how it checks them, but I had a blast regardless. Thanks for the game!

This is surprisingly hard. I love the idea, the letters were fun to read :)
Really cool concept, it's a shame you had to cut it short because I would have liked to see more of what you could have concocted for this. Lots of fun still anyways.
Super Creative take on the theme! I'm going to have try this on my pc with a drawing tablet. I kind of sucked with my mouse.
Thanks for playing! I spent a while reading up on super complicated signature recognition algorithms but in the end went for something much simpler.
For risk of pulling back the curtain, so I don't recommend reading this if you haven't played already, I generated heat maps of the signature, then to score I get the transform from the rect of the input to the rect of the heat map. Step one check it's not overly skewed, then score it based on points in the heat map. That does mean you're not scored on how much of the signature you miss, only what you hit. I got really into some of the papers on signature recognition, so who knows, I may revisit it after the Jam
My best attempt at cheating the system was putting a dot in bottom left and top right for "Bob" and totally getting away with it.
Man, this is really difficult hahaha. I tried so many ways to cheese, but even writing very small didn't work. However, I did manage to draw one straight line and pass a forgery! The sound when writing slow is satisfying.
