This is our entry for LD 29, Entitled: Airport Security Screener.
Our take on the theme of "Beneath the Surface" was an X-Ray machine at an airport scanning for contraband.
This was the work of 6 people, Including:

Very fun, great game! Items are a bit too small though, but I think it is ok because it adds to the difficulty.
Thanks for the feedback guys! We've increased the item size by 15%. With 21 minutes to spare... :)
This game is great fun. I've actually bookmarked it to play a bit more later. Trying to frantically keep up with the luggage whilst preventing anger or a catastrophe (which is hilarious btw) is highly engaging.
Two casual games I've enjoyed last year were Funky Smugglers on mobile and AeroPorter on the 3DS. So it's cool to see another behind the scenes Airport game. The game works decently, but I do have trouble seeing the contraband at times, since it looks it could blend in with the interior of the bags or other items.
I had a lot of fun playing this. Very nice take on the theme :)
Really nice game ! Very original and not easy, I love it very much :)
I agree with Luis, it's difficult to understand what I'm watching in the x-rays. But I like the music
I was not expecting this. it was quite fun, but it was a little hard to tell some of the bad items. they were too small. high marks for humor and innovation. nice job
Made me laugh, 1/2 of the luggage have either seringes or guns, TSA not so useless after all.
The game is fun... But sadly, many items are way too small... I cannot tell what they are... I know that is partially the point of the game, but... there must be a balance.
This is an excellent use of the theme. It also reminds me of Papers, Please, but a bit more humorous.
Awesome idea! Nice use of the theme, the only problem i had is that it is hard to understand what is inside the bags..
The game is fun.
Would have even liked it more if the screening would take a bigger portion of the screen.
I liked the silhouette people and the screening of the luggage, but otherwise the graphics felt a bit too cold / too noisy.
Nothing happens when I click on start! Using latest Chrome build. I liked the title screen music though. Hope to play it at some point. :)
Great idea! Most of the times though I was losing because conveyor sometimes ignores STOP button and just goes on when you press it.
Albeit difficult, this is a neat concept. I like the attention to details.
Hi Maschinen-Mensch, we have noticed this issue in Chrome too! If you go to a different tab in Chrome, then back to the player, it should start working again.
It was really really difficult to get what was going on at first, but it has a great premise, and I would love to see it developed.
The game idea and theme are very interesting and the gameplay is quite fun. However I couldn't identify some of the objects and the faster version of the convenior belts was way to fast to see anything.
Quite a fun game, I like how it gets harder and harder, however, keyboard controls would be good, and a button to start the line again when you've stopped it accidentally, overall great game and very intuitive
Thanks for all the feedback! We have some ideas that we are working on to make the items a bit easier to distinguish.
The fast speed of the conveyor is to help get the line down, at the cost of missing items. We talked about a way to restart the belt when its stopped, but we feel that completely negates the penalty which is to make the line grow when you stop the belt.
Thanks again for all the feedback!

It's really good idea ! it's going very fast ! very difficult to see the items.
Nice concept but it would be nice if you could have more control over the speed and maybe reverse the belt.
There could be a list of banned items next to the screen to make it easier to make out what the objects are (they are very small)
But ye like the GUI and the graphics. Really good idea
Hi Maniulo and HelloWorld. There is already a list in the game. Please refer to the hint screen that pops up just before the game starts. Hope that helps.
Loved it! I like the fact the belt only has two speeds. More challenging this way. Great replayability, too. The sounds were great! My only complaint is the button to stop the belt sometimes becomes unresponsive after playing for a while. Amazing game, tho!
Very cool concept, just wish the actual x ray screen was bigger. Awesome song, well done! :D
The idea's pretty great, but the "dangerous" items are nearly impossible to distinguish, especially since you only get a glimpse of what you're looking for at the beginning. Maybe have a sign listing dangerous items during the actual game so you at least know what you're looking for?
I'd also say the images still need to be bigger, I'm leaning close and squinting but I still can barely make out what's in the suitcases.
Fun game, great idea, just needs some tweaking.
Very nice! The items are a little hard to see but very cool idea and quite fun!
One of the most original interpretations of the theme :)
Haha loved the concept! It's a shame you couldn't implement it better. It could become a good game with a bit more work!
Pretty hard, but I got into it and played for about a good 15 minutes. Kinda hard to see what's what inside the baggage, but I suppose that is part of the challenge. Good work to you all ^^
Interesting take on the theme, good graphics and presentation. There was some object I kept missing and there wasn't really any way for me to figure out what that was without just testing a bunch of random stuff because of the delayed feedback.
web link just give me:

Very nice game! Into the theme in an unexpected way, and it is fun to play! I like the graphics & the music. The only problem is the graphics in the x-rays. I don't know if the problem is the size of the objects or some flter, but it is not easy to discriminate the objectw and after 3-4 times playing my eyes got tired! Other than that, I really loved your game!
Nearly killed my eyes looking for the contraband ^^ Nice game anyway !
Love the music and concept; it has that it-should-tedious-but-isn't feel that Papers Please had. I do agree, though, that the items a tad too small to see.
>It's really good idea ! it's going very fast ! very difficult to see the items.
Agreed, wasn't too what what to press on. Still, this is a great effort, really like the theme.
Cool idea and fun game. Though it was really tough to catch anything until I played for a while and could better recognize how the contraband looked in the scanner.
I had a problem with the stop button occasionally having to be clicked twice to actually stop the belt. Other than that it was a pretty fun game. There was something that looked like a line that would show up in bags some times that was hard to tell apart from the needle.
That was pretty fun! My biggest wish would be keyboard controls, but otherwise the gameplay felt pretty solid, and it was nice to see the game get more difficult without radically changing the core mechanic.
The items were sometimes a bit hard to see, but overall this was a really fun game. Great work! :)
Nice and clean, but very difficult !
I would have maybe different speed for the machine, like 3 or 4, starting from very slow. There is 2 and both very fast :)
The music is Legend...ary !
The controls are not as responding as i wish, it's good enough.
The items in the bag are small, but I've recognize:
* Xbox controller
* the hat of an old TV-show (Chapeau melon in french)
* earpiece for Walkman (bad English sorry)
* Hair drier
* USB charger
It's really fun to play it.
The difficulty is well balance.
Very fine job !
I had way to much fun playing this! I feel like I might have been a better A.S.S. if there had been keyboard shortcuts... well done, guys!
I'm not even going to so say much. Just good stuff good stuff.
I do think the items are a bit too small, but the game is fast-paced and enjoyable.

MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
It's pretty difficult to understand what I'm watching in the x-rays! Items are too small, I fear :D Oh, and some keyboard controls would be awesome to react faster ;D But well done!
