Great game. Didn't realize there was a view button lol so I played without it on easy mode and got a score of 3. A great rendition of the classic game.
I love how much personality you crammed into this minimalistic format. I love how analogue it all feels, all the little details, and the rhythmicality of the sounds and gameplay. This is such a nice game-toy, I really adore this. Thank you <3 What a nice way to celebrate a 10th anniversary!
it takes away everything that makes papers please good and is not even accurate to how a game & watch works. lame as hell imo. this is like if you played a "demake" of undertale and it was just one shitty bullet hell battle over and over.
Why are you so mad about this. Its a short, neat little game for if you want something simple. How did you go into this expecting some IGN masterpiece when it was very clearly not trying to be.
dukope made it, i expected his seal of quality. it is on the front page, i expect front page games to be playable for more than 2 minutes. most of all, i just expected it to be fun. this is not fun at all.
While playing for the first time (without reading the instructions), I thought faces with only a change in their hair should be allowed to pass. Then I got a citation and I read the manual and I understood it has to match perfectly.
I wish this was as a real handheld version. To buy it and play it on a teeny tiny little cute screen. Practically everywhere. Happy anniversary for Papers, Please!
Got no words to express how much I love this. The way you worked around the limitations of LCD handheld games is mind-blowing. Any chances for an offline/downloadable version at some point? 🙏
To be honest, the sounds especially during the view change can be a bit tedious, nevertheless I can't get enough of how well designed this game is. My favorite thing is the multiple use of the face, as person, as passport, as wanted poster, all playing around the LCD limitations. Not to mention all the iconic elements from the original game. Even the passports from different nationalities have varied emblems.

Hi! We played your game on stream and really enjoyed it!
I loved Paper Please and this Demake is really cute!
Great game. Didn't realize there was a view button lol so I played without it on easy mode and got a score of 3. A great rendition of the classic game.
Fantastic.
I'm glad this goes with a Game&Watch-ish aesthetic and not the Tiger aesthetic. Somehow the Tiger games were always a disappointment.
This might be completely unreasonable but i would love to see this as an actual piece of hardware.
I'd totally own one of those. How can we get this to Nintendo?
I love the style of the game.

I don't get the point of this at all
It's a game and watch version of papers, please. Pretty cool imo

that is ok! its your opinion, but our opinions are correct too :/ don't be rude, no one asked you to play
How does it not replicate the way a game & watch works ?
esta hermoso :)! es muy ingeniosa la forma de hacer los rostros, felicitaciones, excelente trabajo.
gloria a arstotska!
The memories bro...
I really like this game. I have to post it in my other channel. Very nostalgic.
I just keep saying “oh my god he’s a genius” as I play this. Lucas is a true artist.
ITS BEEN 10 YEARS!! god watching jackcepticye play it only felt like a couple years ago..
Very fun de-make of Papers Please.
The horror faces will haunt me. They look more than random, they look AI generated.
Stellar! I'd expect nothing less from Lucas.
Only issue I have is that if you go to mode to turn off the sound, you can't get back out of it and have to start back from day one.
Yeah, sound on/off should be a physical switch but I (1) added sound way late, and (2) had already designed the case.
I would really like to take this game with me on the go :D
A very interesting and funny game. =)
As somebody that destroyed the rubber on a Donkey Kong version of this style of game... I approve you !
Is this game kind of like papers please?
From playing, it's like a low quality papers please
It's a demake of Papers Please made by the original devs
great experience
Plastic version please!
does this have an end or it's infinite?
I think it goes infinite. After day 5 score setttings stay at 5. I finished day 6 with 117 points, called it a day.
very interesting
holy crap im gonna remake this for the arduboy
While playing for the first time (without reading the instructions), I thought faces with only a change in their hair should be allowed to pass. Then I got a citation and I read the manual and I understood it has to match perfectly.
It would be cool if that was a rule that coule change:
- Hair cuts allowed
- Face tattoos allowed
- Minor facial reconstruction allowed
Could give it an interesting twist, especially in this format, where the art can be changed so minorly.
This is amazing! Im glad to see more from you guys
Amazing!!
This would be awesome on the playdate! https://play.date
This is adorable. Happy anniversary
This is dope
The way the buttons still make that authentic noise when the sound is turned off is genius

Loved Papers, Please I'm happy you made this awesome game!
Cool! Reminds me of the game and watch

Thanks! I intended to make the VIEW process slightly annoying to disincentivize it but probably went a little too far.
Well done!
very cool!
A Playdate version of this would be awesome!
This is incredible, the purest form of art and demake!
