What a creative take on the theme! As others have pointed out, it felt very reminiscent of The Truman Show (one of my favourite movies :D), and when paired with the phenomenal graphics and game feel, it makes for a really fun experience. Good job!

How does you game fit the theme?
The whole life of our main character has being a reality show and you must prevent that he found out his life is not real.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I did all of my assets, music, sound effects, graphics, animations and coding from scratch. I did reuse some components of my latest jam, like pause menu or UI components

The main menu is very clicky and gamey - I absolutely loved it! Gameplay-wise it felt unfair to be unable to move the lights falling from the ceiling before they would start to jiggle. But that was completely forgotten soon enough when the game started to become harder.
Anyways, the concept is really fun and the graphics look neat. Well done!

The Promised DestinyVery nice idea, this was very fun and stressful to play! Though it might get a bit too difficult too fast

Dude, Where's My Pills?First I wanna say, me and my buddy had a good healthy laugh when things just started getting out of hand. That "Mark" is a broken man now. I hope it doesn't sound like glad handing, but this may have been the most fun game I've played yet. Wild that only 14 people have played as of writing this.
The only thing I can think that would be nice is maybe a smoother ramp up in difficulty. We tried a time or two and while we were having a blast seeing everything go wrong at once, the jump from moving a few things out of the way to "everything on screen is out of place" was pretty immediate. Other than that though, the theme was met, the music and sfx were good and the pixel art was great too. Great game you got there.

My Pal, Bumbloif you did everything alone, it look so good. I liked how his face was changing while he was getting more and more suspicious. did you get the idea from the movie called "Trueman show"? it's very similar.

Wake up little guyGets difficult fast, but I like your take on the theme! The graphics and music are on point as well, you really sold the whole reality tv atmosphere, and the game mechanics are pretty creative I think. My main critique would be to make some of the hitboxes for the mouse to click on a little bit bigger, particularly the mic switch and the cameras that fall felt very difficult to click sometimes.
Fun and original take on the theme! The game gets hard fast, I only lasted till day 4. I like the changes in Mark as he gets more and more suspicious. Well done!
