Use of the limitation
The player acts as a city inspector enforcing absurd laws and arresting citizens, gradually becoming part of an oppressive system where they are perceived as an enemy of the people. In the final stage, after signing decrees and stamping arrest documents, the narrative reveals a twist that recontextualizes the player’s role within the system they helped maintain.

I really had fun playing. The ending was funny as well.
The art style is so simple, yet so elegant. Are these actually hand-drawn illustrations on a piece of cardboard? Very cool looking.
Also you give generous attention to the menus and UI which is often overlooked in a 3-day jam.
I think this can be a great mobile game. Funny and lighthearted.
A small improvement would be adding a popping effect when you arrest a character. I think that's a quick & easy way to elevate the feel. Very fun game... Thanks for sharing
I love the art style! what a lovely design and i like how the inspector arrest themself at the end
also i also made a game play as tyrant, but in contrast it's illegal not to wear a hat and the rebels are all without heat lol
Phenomenal idea, very fun. Incorporation of the limitation and theme were very clear. Unique and cute artstyle fit well with the humor. No complaints, all in all a great game!
Really nice, i'm extremely glad you didn't use AI for the art, because it looks gorgeous.
It would be nice to have a indicative of the day passing, as I wasn't sure the day would end or if I could "lose" if i arrested enough wrong people.
I like the integration of the limitation; Let the people use theirs hats!!!!
Great work.
How could this been made possible with 0 cookies! Exceeded all expectations.
Yeah I also was about to exit before the first day ended :P A time would be useful.
This game is in my top 3 mini jam games

Hey, nice idea, I would suggest a timer though, on first day I wasn't sure if the day would end :D Also on the round with arresting standing people, I couldn't find who is standing and who is not, so I got everyone and was left with no one for last round, don't know if this was expected :)
I liked the game’s style. Pleasant!
Cool game, but cardboard material can get a litle boring when it's used for everything.
Cool game - I love the simplicity, executed well and the art style is really well made.
I didn't notice a win / lose condition though, would be a nice addition!
