If I may make a mild joke, I find it funny those with interest in this game can't realize their own discrepancies on making duplicate topics. Get in the game, fella's. :nes:

I rebuilt the topic post. Seems a bit cleaner now. If anyone has any recommendations for adjusting the OP, I'd hear them.

The formatting is messed up. The logo is on the right hand side.

That is where it is supposed to be. Although when I make my browser very thin, it does look odd, but then that means I'd have to put the image out by itself. I like how it looks where it is now... Hmm...

dear god I hope this game gets greenlit

Haha this is fun, hope it gets greenlit.

You approve or deny depending on matching data. Early on, if data doesn't match, they just go. Later on, there is stricter procedure. They might turn up missing documentation if you question them instead of straight denying them. As the game goes on, there can be more discrepancies with their documents, and you have to be keen on all of them. It's fun in a challenging way. You look over a paper, let them in, get in trouble. "What? Damn it, the one time I didn't check gender." xD
I got a penalty because the height didn't match up.


But yeah, at first glance I didn't think this would be a game I would enjoy. But after playing it, and realizing the condition of your family, you realize how hard this actually is. I was piling those documents all over my desk like a champ and investigating every single obvious detail at once, then checking the more challenging details shortly after. I get so proud when I can afford the food, heat, and medicine.

But yeah, then they bitch at me because one guy's height didn't match up. Who the hell would forge a completely legitimate document, one that they could obtain normally through their daily life due to the fact that everything was correct, except their damn height? Did the guy grow or did his legs get chopped off or something? I don't even know if he was too tall or too short for what was written.

Pretty neat little game. The money system needs a large overhaul though. Maybe a streak system where your payment increases slightly for every consecutive correct choice? This would discourage just rushing through the approve/deny process in hopes of getting more cash. Of course, there would also need to be a streak difficulty curve too. (IE: the larger streak you attain, the harder the visas are to decode).

The dev is going to change it so that the opposite type of streak happens. If you make too many consecutive wrong choices, you will lose more money (instead of just 10 every time) and potentially lose (at about 5 wrong guesses in a single day).


I was also thinking, maybe someone should make a mod for this where you're Badspot at the account creation office and you have to approve or deny Blockland registrations and make sure not to let any Glass or Plaz alts in.

He just needs to make it so the correct answer isn't to alternate heat and food. Maybe random bear attacks.

Yeah, I found it much easier when I could just skip a day of heat or food. Maybe skipping a day of food should up the cost the next day, and skipping heat should make your family sick more easily.

Pfft, family. They didn't make it three days.

I kept making mistakes and I got pissed off.

After Day 7 when my Uncle was dying I just said forget it and let everyone through. Took only their passport, accepted it, and then threw the rest back at them.
