Ministry of Stamps is a short, funny incremental game about bureaucracy, drawn like a 1950s magazine cartoon. Each working day lasts one minute. You glide a rubber stamp over piles of paper, and every thump approves the sheets underneath and earns money. Between days you pin upgrades to the corkboard, such as a bigger stamp, a second hand, or carbon copies. Then the auditor calls and wants his cut: pay up, file late, misfile, or restructure and start fresh with perks that carry over.
How to play
- Start the day and move the stamp over the paper. It stamps by itself.
- Cover as many sheets as you can before the minute ends.
- Spend your earnings on upgrades between days.
- Decide how to handle the auditor, and restructure when it pays to start over with perks.
Controls
- Mouse: Move the stamp over the paper
- Touch: Drag a finger over the sheets
- Keyboard: Space start the day, B buy the chosen upgrade, P pause, M sound, L Ledger, O options
Tips
- Sweep across the thickest piles first. A bigger stamp pays most where the paper is stacked.
- Early on, buy upgrades that increase how much you stamp per thump.
- Do not fear restructuring. Perks that stay make the next run much faster.
Who it's for
